Walls can be great canvases that can be filled with colours, patterns and designs to make a room come alive. If you want an accent wall with jewel tones or something that works as a piece of artwork and sparks conversation, we have covered top wall painting ideas you will want to recreate in your home:

Half-painted Wall

If you are planning to paint your home soon and want something different, a half-painted wall can be a great idea. It gives your wall just enough colour without overwhelming the space and it is easier than painting the whole wall from top to bottom, especially if you have high ceilings. This trick is also great for areas in the house people tend to lean on frequently, be it behind the bed or next to the shoe rack. It is also recommended to use anti-bacterial paints like Berger Silk Breathe Easy for high-touched areas in the house. For inspiration, we love how pink and white colour together to create a bicoloured wall, with a pop of yellow to make a complete statement.

Pattern Play

For a wall painting idea that looks difficult but can be done easily using painters tape, go for a patterned wall. You can work with different colours and patterns but just make sure to use just one wall and keep the rest of it low key and neutral.

Elegant Lines

This modern living room makes great use of elegant black lines highlighted perfectly against a predominantly white wall. If accent walls are a bit too much for your liking, this is a perfect wall painting idea to recreate that is subtle yet makes a stylish statement.

Jewel Toned Accent Wall

Jewel tones have the power to transform home interiors into a luxurious refuge. You can choose from stunning hues inspired from gemstones, from sapphire to ruby to turquoiseand even metallic shades like rose gold and silver. Adding a jewel-toned accent wall in any room will instantly make your room sparkle, reminiscent of a treasure trove of precious stones.

While the arrival of monsoon season might be a relief to many, for house owners it brings problems of wall dampness and leakages. Your exterior walls get exposed to heavy rain and high humidity that can travel to your interior walls and cause the paint to peel. If the wall stays damp for a long time, it can also lead to growth of mould and mildew. It is important to ensure your exterior walls are waterproofed to prevent wall dampness. Remember these tips when you are planning to waterproof your exterior walls:

Opt for professional waterproofing services

High quality waterproofing service is a one-time investment for your house that will save your walls from damage in the long run. It is always better to opt for professionals like Berger Home Shield Waterproofing Experts who use IoT devices like Moisture Meter to detect wall leakages and provide customised solutions bases on the severity of wall dampness damage. Since wall leakages have no clear source and the leak might travel a long way within the walls before showing up, professional contractors can detect these leaks and ensure your house is protected against dampness for years to come.

Don’t forget roof waterproofing

The roof is the most dampness prone area in the house, after all, it is directly impacted by rainfall and harsh sun rays. If the roof is not waterproofed properly, it will cause peeling of paint on the ceiling which will eventually end up on your four walls. It is important to give the roof an extra layer of protection and choose products like Berger PU RoofKoat that is designed especially for waterproofing roofs.

Look out for the source of damage

It could be anything, a burst water pipe or weak construction, before waterproofing your exterior walls, fix the source of water dampness to avoid rework. Once you fix the issue, you can waterproof the walls as a preventive measure.

Street art is changing how we experience art. It does not require a museum or gallery. You can explore incredible street art strolling down the streets of most cities and experience a completely immersive art experience. Sometimes it is a multistory mural or wall painting, colouring the neighbourhood in a riot of rich and vibrant hues while sometimes it is a simple message, maybe even conveying a social commentary. Some are amateurish drawings or basic doodles while others discuss pressing global issues. No matter the form, there is something so impressive about artists pouring themselves into a work of art and expressing themselves using blank street walls as their canvases.

Most of the cities, be it Mumbai, Munich or New York, built up street art culture over the years. It usually begins with young artists in hip hop scene expressing themselves with tagging and the culture then evolves from there to murals and graffiti. Local and international artists have helped transform cities into open-air exhibitions bursting with creativity and character. We, at Berger Paints India, are firm believers in using blank walls as a canvas to Paint Your Imagination and in this story, we will cover some of the most striking and stunning street art spread around the world.
