Spicy walls – the return of the statement wall
OK
so here’s a problem we have to solve. We are highly skilled in using color and texture to change the mood and feel in a space. We
use imported Italian, Moroccan and other materials to do this.
However
what do we have to offer if we are dealing with budget constraints? You could paint, which is
good, but nothing special. You
could do some faux painting - some looks ok- some looks dated as an application now.
Here’s
what we do.
Enter
– the statement wall. We use a plaster material called Ja Décor.
It is a unique cotton and mineral material originally created in
Germany. It is very textural as you can see in the pictures. Now while
this material looks great in a whole room, we have found this finish
with its unique texture to create quite an impact as a statement
wall.
So with a limited budget, we can do a statement wall with Ja
Décor, adjust the other walls with a new paint color, and change
the mood and feel of the space.
WE HAVE MENTIONED THIS MATERIAL IN EARLIER BLOGS, BUT IT BEARS REPEATING.
It is a very green product, has great acoustical properties (
use in a home theater space), is very green, easy to
repair and as stated, works great in combination with adjoining
painted walls. It can be matched in any color from a Benjamin
Moore color deck.
We
plan on featuring this product at an upcoming home show. Here’s a
few recent shots to give you some ideas. Click on the picture to take a closer look. If you’d like more info or have a project in
mind, give us a shout.
