Stippling is my fave for a subtle texture! ✨ Use a stiff brush and lightly dab it on the paint and it gives the walls a cool, almost speckled look. Super easy for beginners and adds some depth without going overboard 🤩

I think using a sponge roller adds great texture. You can layer different colors for more depth though 🎨

I love experimenting with DIY painting techniques. Personally, I've had good results with rag rolling for a textured look and stippling for a bit of depth.

Hey! I’m a huge fan of rag rolling for adding depth—just love how it creates that textured, almost vintage look! 🌟 For best results, make sure your base coat is completely dry and experiment with different fabrics for rolling. Happy painting! 🎨

To add texture and depth to your walls through DIY painting techniques, consider using methods like sponge painting for a soft, mottled effect, rag rolling for a textured finish, stenciling to create patterns, or color washing for a subtle, layered look, ensuring to practice on a small area first for desired results.
