Creative Wallscapes

is a good choice for a number of reasons, and especially because it’s lighter weight and quieter than other sprayers, making for a more pleasant experience.”

When designing a room, think of the walls as your canvas – the foundation upon which to anchor the furnishings and accessories that will stamp the space with your personal style.

During the event, Mead revealed four design ideas that illustrate how creative wallscapes provide the foundation of a look: an ombré desk area; a frame stenciled bedroom wall; a dining room décor for holiday entertaining and a backyard sanctuary:

That’s the advice offered by Stylist Matthew Mead, author of Matthew Mead’s Backyard Style and Holiday with Matthew Mead, to members of the news media during a Wagner Spray Techsponsored event held at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn.

Inspired by the graduated tones of a Rothko painting – probably the most famous of ombré designs, the multi-tone wall treatment, achieved with controlled spraying to meld the tones, features a perfect color palette upon which to build your personal design statement. The walls serve as the room’s canvas, perfect for assembling layers of colors, textures and objects, including these repurposed ﬂea market ﬁnds, to create intrigue and inspiration.

“Walls – and the treatments you choose for them – are critical to bringing your personal design statement and style to life,” he said. “They are the backdrop for your furniture, art and the personal objects you love.” And today, advanced paint application tools make it possible to prepare and paint walls quickly and achieve professional results. “What’s great is that we now have the technologies to create original, personalized wallscapes easier and faster than ever, so there’s more time to stretch the imagination in adding other decorating details,” said Mead. “Today, we’ve moved beyond painting to becoming your own design director.” Citing the Wagner FLEXiO 590 as a tool he uses to create imaginative wallscapes and the FLEXiO 890 for more extensive projects, he said, “I’ve been able to play with color gradation, two-color interplay and graphics – all of which add interest and fun,” said Mead. “There’s no reason to be afraid of spraying. It’s easy and fast – and it’s deﬁnitely something even a ﬁrst-time DIYer can master. The FLEXiO

Ombré desk area

A graphic stencil frame provides a strong focal point in this bedroom area, but stenciling success depends ﬁrst on wall preparation – cleaning, smoothing cracks and applying an even, stroke-free layer of paint to complement stencil colors. Nothing helps prepare the walls faster and more professionally than the Wagner FLEXiO 890 paint sprayer. The stencil, inspired by the richly decorative brocades of times past, is given a modern, stylish, DIY look with fresh colors. Here, pattern mixes with color to create a decor that is interesting, yet coordinated, for the eye. Your favorite colors, textures and collectibles can serve as the perfect complement.

“It’s best to consider the walls ﬁrst and foremost as you design as room,” said Mead. “Inspiration for wall color and design can come from rugs and collectables but the walls are your creative canvas. And as you decorate, don’t worry: There are no mistakes. Decorating is about unleashing your creativity to express your own personal style.”
