I am just about to repaint the house and rather than use plain emulsion on the interior walls was wondering if anybody knows where I can source some info on any unusual or eye catching paint or effects that I can use. All ideas or suggestions appreciated , no matter how off the wall ( pardon the pun )...... Thanks PAT

There's a suede-effect paint (Dulux or Crown I think) which could give your walls that extra zing.

My neighbour has suede paint, looks good.
Check out or search "use of glazes" or "Paint" and "natural sponges"

Sponge painting may or not turn out ok, it could end up like a large Blot Test. It needs to be completly random which is more difficult than it may seem.
