Paint effects

Whether you choose to paint your bathroom a solid color or apply any of a wide array of paint effects to your walls, chances are that there is a texture and color perfectly attuned to your personal style.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper comes in practically every color, texture and design you can think of. Wallpaper can be used as a trim or as an easy-to-apply wall covering above or below a chair rail. In the bathroom, numerous themes can be used to great effect. Nautical themes, seashore themes or even jungle themes for a children's bathroom can make the room really stand out.

Faux finishes involve using techniques similar to paint effects to create the illusion that one material is actually another material.
