What i would do, to try to achieve this finish,

1)use a smooth textured pain, apply with a medium pile roller, then with a paint brush, run the brush lightly leaving some some brush marks, leave to dry then with a metallic paint ,apply lightly and brush the paint on the wall , to give a light effect apply less paint to the brush

2) easy fill wall filler, apply the filler just the way plasterers plaster the wall, it should not be flatted and smoothed like plaster, once dried

apply your base coat then the finishing colour

3) Crown suede paint

Light Pine Floor finish: how to achieve?

Hi Trinity, What a lovely project! We have achieved this look by using a 2 part treatment, it's called Lye & Soap. A company called Auro supplied ours (they are one of the main suppliers, and give really concise information and support on how to apply). The look we wanted was like the very 'Scandi' Dinesen boards, and this is how they treat their boards. To start with, you will need lye, which bleaches and removes yellow from the wood; then the white soap which cleans, re-whitens and seals the boards. The process is done with a brush or a foam roller and is really easy! The end result is very clean, matte and fresh looking (you tend to find with oils and paints that the end result can look a bit tacky/thick and heavy) But the Lye & Soap is very thin, and just really absorbs into the wood, whereas oil can tend to sit on top. I hope this helps! Good luck! it would be great to see a completed photograph! Holly @ MillChris Developments Ltd

Tracey, those are encaustics which tend to be 18-20mm in depth, your wood will most likely be engineered ply if you have underfloor heating and depths vary 12mm upward. If one or the other substrate needs to be built up to accommodate the other that is possible. Be aware there will be some movement between the two, more so if you are using long boards, less with parquet, so consider how best to deal with any movement or expansion between the two. There are plenty of products available for this. Make sure your encaustics are sealed correctly. You could also find the cleaning regimen of the two finishes may be very different. Lithoflin for encaustics - and oil/wax for an oiled floor, that's not a great combination, so perhaps an easy maintenance wood might be better in the long run.

I think this is what they used to call rag rolling many years ago. A brush as on the above link does a similar effect too. You used to be able to buy a roller with a 'rag' attached and use it to paint on the wall that would give you the effect. I'd also practice it on something before attempting the wall in question.

Thank you. I think deep down I thought that, but was hoping to be proven wrong, or that someone had used lvt tiles inside and continued with a matching Porcelain tile outside. I don’t think my original question was very clear!!

Thankyou for your replies. I have seen the concrete effect paints and that was my inital route however, I saw this and liked the sort of two tone effect - it appears to be black underneath and a light glaze of white over top? Something the concrete effect paints didnt really achieve. I like the sound of your idea with the wall filler. I will look into the suede paint now!! Whilst waiting for replies I found a technique called frottage, im not sure if this could also achieve the effect? Its basically applying a base coat colour allowing to dry then applying the finishing colour over the top and with newspaper or paper rubbishing/dabbing the paint while wet??

Brill thanks for the photos they look exactly what im after! So in my case I would filler - paint it the black colour, leave to dry and then do a lighter wash white paint over the top of it with stroke marks?

the best way to test, paint finishing, is to apply the filler on a ply/mdf boards the test different why to dress the feature, you never know you could stumble over a great finish that you may not be able to resists in keeping, to create that pattern you want , try arts and crafts acrylic paints/enamel paints, then lightly brush on to the feature

I recently stumbled across this effect while trying to get a cheap way of doing crackle glaze. Basically using PVA glue! Nothing fancy, just the stuff kids use in schools. So to get the effect like the one in the photos I would paint the wall a dark grey colour first then wait till dry. Then slap on the PVA glue, don’t be afraid to apply quite thickly. To get the bumpy texture use a stiff brush with nylon bristles such as a scrubbing brush or yard brush then stipple it (dab, dab, dab) onto the PVA while it’s still wet. I’d perhaps do this in small sections. Wait till this is dry (I get impatient and use a hairdryer). Then paint the second colour, in this case white or light grey possibly watered down a bit for a more washy effect, wait till dry. Then get the sander out and gently go over the whole surface, shouldn’t take much to take the paint off the surface of the bumps revealing the darker grey underneath. Then gently wipe down the dust with damp cloth and seal with a water based varnish. Job done! Incidentally, to get the crackle glaze you apply the second colour while the PVA is still wet then using a hairdryer the top layer of paint seperates to form the cracking effect. Magic! I’ve had mixed success with this depending on the paint. As suggested, test first on sample boards before committing to the walls and do let us know which method you go for. I would love to see final results.

So many great ideas I would never have thought of! Thanks so much everyone!!! Yes I was thinking of getting a sheet of plasterboard and prepping it as I would for the wall then creating a few sections on it to try different techniques! Excited about the PVA technique sounds like a great method. The paint I was planning to use was Annie Sloans wall paint. It's a chalk paint and I see it's used quite a lot for faux wall painting techniques?? I also feel it would give a nice effect after the sanding also?? What paint did you use rachel? Will definitely post a photo when done...

I think the chalk paint would give the best finish as well. Much more forgiving if you intend to sand back in places but definitely use a clear matt finish top coat when finished. I use all sorts of paints but so far, with the PVA method, ordinary matt emulsion has given me the best results. On small projects (I’m doing some decoupage plant pots at the moment) I use up my leftover tester pots:)
