It is quite high, and if you call the masters, then buying paint, painting itself and materials will cost you a round sum.
You should also be aware that the painting process itself cannot be called a simple matter. To do quality work with your own hands, you need to seriously try.
How to paint?
If you decide to do decorative painting yourself, then you should carefully consider each stage of the work. Initially prepare all materials, tools and paint.
The painting process should go evenly over time, so it's better to prepare right away. The paint must be well mixed. If you want to get contrast, then use light and dark tones.
But before you start, choose a technique. There are several of them.
Stencil. It is possible to apply patterns on the walls using a stencil. This will greatly facilitate the process, as it is available to everyone. It just takes patience and precision.
The stencils themselves can be made by yourself or purchased in specialized stores. Decorative painting must be done responsibly. Use a small roller and you'll be fine.
Roller with texture. In the hardware store you can buy a special texture roller. It can be depicted completely different patterns for every taste. Any amateur can also handle such painting. With light movements, draw small strips in different directions and you yourself will be surprised at the result.
Sponge. It can be used as a roller. Thanks to its structure, the sponge helps to create an interesting wall texture. It is used as a stamp. It is convenient, but it is worth practicing in advance.
Decorative painting with a brush. This option is suitable for more confident craftsmen. Working with a brush is more difficult than other methods. It is worth using brushes of different sizes to create unique patterns.
When you do the decorative painting yourself, it will look much more expensive. If you carefully assimilate the material with the technique of decorative painting, then you will completely do without the masters and arrange real beauty in your home.

Currently, painting is one of the most popular wall decoration options. The traditional staining method can be applied to create a suitable backdrop for any interior style, from minimalist to vintage with lots of bright details. Wall decoration is also easy to diversify by combining several shades when painting. Using various methods of painting walls in two or three colors, you can get an expressive effect of decorating a room.
There is an opinion that painted walls look boring and monotonous. However, with the help of tinting, you can choose almost any shade so that the wall decoration looks attractive enough, and you can also go beyond the usual and use a combined painting. With this coloring, a well-thought-out combination of two tones will look beautiful in any interior, and three or more shades will allow you to achieve special sophistication.
There are several popular ways to design when painting walls in two colors, allowing you to achieve interesting results. With the help of thoughtful combined coloring, you can emphasize the advantages of the layout of the room and hide the flaws, highlight separate functional areas in it. A thoughtful and high-quality finish will achieve a stunning effect - add brightness to the interior, add a touch of romance to it, or add drive and energy. Such walls will look expressive and harmonious in the interior of various styles.
When choosing a wall color design, first of all, you should take into account the layout features, as well as compatibility with the style of the interior of the room. There are many options for combined staining, so the final result will depend on your tastes and preferences. Before painting the walls in the apartment in two colors, you will need to make calculations and markup in advance. In addition, staining in several shades will need to be done as carefully as possible. With some methods of such finishing, you will need to be patient, as phased painting may be necessary.
Before you start planning work on combined painting, you should familiarize yourself with the features of such a finish:
- To paint walls with two colors, it is important to choose well-matched shades. To do this, you must first decide what result you want to achieve - subtle transitions or a more contrasting effect. For combined staining, you can apply the following color combinations:
- use successfully complementary "consonant" or related tones. In a similar way, you can combine two neutral shades, for example, gray and cream, black and white, or warm or cold shades of pastel colors (sand and peach, delicate mint and blue-green);
- gradient staining - using shades of the same color, but different saturation on different areas walls, it is easy to get an ombre effect with a smooth transition of different shades of the selected tone. In addition, you can achieve flow from one color to another;
- use different contrasting colors to paint the walls (for example, yellow and green, blue and purple). If you have not decided how to choose paint for the walls, you should consider the following - in order for such coloring to look quite harmonious, you need to use tones that are close in intensity, in a similar (warm or cold) color scheme;
- white color is neutral and perfectly combined in wall decoration with any shades, allowing you to achieve maximum expressiveness.
- In the case when the paint runs out, it is not always possible to choose the same shade, therefore, to paint the walls in two colors, it is recommended to purchase a finishing material with a margin. This recommendation is especially relevant if you plan to mix shades yourself.
- Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare high-quality masking tape, which will serve to protect the surface in the right places from paint ingress - while it is required that after painting it can be easily separated from the wall without damaging the finish.
It is worth considering that when painting walls in two colors, the border between different colors it is unlikely that it will be possible to arrange it in the form of a perfectly even and neat line - this will require experience in performing similar work and the presence of special skills. However, to give the finish a more aesthetic appearance, various decorative moldings or paper borders, wooden and plastic slats can be placed in these places. In addition, the borders during painting can be trimmed with a border of various decorative materials- for example, from natural or artificial stone, rounded pebbles or mosaics. To do this, you need to fix them on the walls with liquid nails or special glue. 
Choice of color for combined wall painting
When planning a combination of several colors for painting walls, it is worth considering the following recommendations:
- wall surfaces painted in warm shades of yellow, orange, red or brown optically approach us. Thus, with the help of combined painting, the proportions of a narrow and long room can be visually balanced by painting a short wall in warm shade, the rest - in a neutral color;
- cold shades of blue, gray, purple visually distance painted surfaces from us, so a long wall in a narrow room rectangular shape it is recommended to paint in one of these tones;
- to create a comfortable relaxing atmosphere in the room, for the combined painting of the walls, you can use close tones of the color scheme, repeated in the interior decoration. For example, pale blue walls with a grassy green wall highlighted as a brighter color accent will look quite harmonious.
Combined wall painting design
When planning to paint the walls in several colors, you can adopt one of the following common finishing methods.
Division by color horizontally
In such cases, the walls below and above are painted in different colors, and the border of separation is decorated with a molding or a border. This finishing method can be used to imitate panels on the walls. Depending on personal preferences and the layout of the room, in this way you can divide the walls in various proportions (1:1, 1:2, etc.) The classic method of combined painting is quite popular, when the lower third of the walls are painted in a darker color, and the remaining upper part, respectively, is made lighter. This finish is traditionally used for interior design in a classic style, retro or country, as well as art deco and art nouveau. In addition, you can apply other finishes by dividing by painting approximately in half or with a predominance of the lower part, or draw a border almost at the ceiling - similar finish walls suitable for a children's room, as well as for interior design in a creative style.
Color insert method
For such a finish, which very effectively imitates decorative panels, you first need to paint the walls in the main color. After the paint has dried, it is necessary to mark them and paste over the future colored inserts along the contour with masking tape, and then paint them in the selected color - for this, a darker shade relative to the main one is most often used. Before the paint dries, you need to remove the tape and arrange decorative frame for such "panels", using suitable trims, curbs or moldings.
Color accent on one of the walls
Currently, this method of combined staining is very popular. To create an expressive accent, three walls are painted in a neutral shade, while a different color is selected for the fourth - depending on the planned effect, it can be decorated in a restrained color scheme or made quite bright and contrasting. In this way, you can also decorate part of the wall in the form of a wide vertical strip. Thanks to the color accent, the surfaces of the walls will not look flat, and the interior will acquire special expressiveness and originality. This technique will help divert attention from the shortcomings of the layout of the room and emphasize the existing advantages.
Using such a combined coloring, it is easy to carry out zoning of the room. With the help of a color accent, you can highlight the recreation area by painting part of the wall behind the TV. In addition, in this way you can organize a dining area in the kitchen by painting the wall near the dining table, arrange a mini-study in the living room, highlight the wall near the fireplace, as well as arches, niches and piers. In the corridor or hall, color accents on the walls will get rid of the monotony of the interior. In the bathroom, they usually make out a color accent near the washbasin or bathtub.
gradient coloring
The gradient wall painting technique gained wide popularity in the seventies of the last century, and recently the fashion for such decoration has returned again. This method of combined painting involves the use of shades of different intensities. The gradient effect can be obtained by painting separately each of the walls of the room in shades of the same color, but with different saturation. In addition, you can highlight one of the walls using gradient painting, or create smooth transitions from a lighter tone to a saturated one on each of them. To do this, you can add light or dark dye to the can of paint, choosing the right shade.
To get gradient coloring, you must first paint the entire surface of the wall in light tone, then apply on it in the desired part (top or bottom) more intense. Next, you need to mix the paint and treat the wall with it in the middle part, trying to achieve a smooth flow of shades from bottom to top - to do this, smooth the transitions by slightly touching the wall with a roller.
Horizontal and vertical stripes
The decoration of one of the walls in the form of horizontal or vertical stripes of various widths and shades looks quite bright and expressive. Such work is quite painstaking, but the result of such staining looks very impressive.
For example, against the background of plainly painted walls at a certain height, you can place a horizontal strip - for this you need to apply markings, stick masking tape outside of it and paint inner space in a contrasting color. A sufficiently wide strip with wall decor placed on it in the form of pictures and photographs within frames or drawings made using a stencil will optically reduce the height of the room and expand it.
It is worth considering that wide stripes are easier to apply to walls, and besides, they look more harmonious compared to narrow ones, which can “ripple”.
Ornaments and complex shapes
Painting in the form of repeating squares or rhombuses is suitable for decorating the interior of a children's room, as well as a kitchen or bedroom in a vintage style. This technique is quite difficult to implement - to apply a geometric ornament on the walls, resembling a pattern on a knitted sweater, you will have to work hard. To do this, you first need to paint the walls in the base color, and then apply markings in the form of an ornament, paste over it with masking tape and paint over it with paint of a different color. Sometimes such a pattern is decorated with gradient transitions or lines crossing the sides of rhombuses. For amplification decorative effect along the contour of the ornament, you can also place a decorative molding.
Coloring contrasting color with peas randomly or evenly placed on the walls can be done with a brush and stencils of suitable sizes. Such "peas" will look great in the nursery or in the kitchen, and are most suitable for interior design in retro style.
By applying staining in two or more shades, if desired, you can draw anything on the walls - drawing fantasy patterns and shapes with a brush, it is easy to achieve the most unusual and original results. Such coloring can be done in the form of carelessly drawn geometric shapes that echo the outlines of furniture, as well as in the form of drawings that carry a certain semantic load.
