This title helps you learn how to create a tiled look and to stamp panels with gold leaf for a luxurious effect. It offers an expert guide to the paints, varnishes, brushes, rollers and specialist tools you will need to achieve decorative paint effects.

It is suitable for anyone who wants to give their home a facelift, creative paint finishes can alter a room easily and cheaply.

This practical book shows you step-by-step how to transform your home.
