Here we are talking about one of decorating tools that we can use in a simple way.

1. Sponge Painting
Back in the days when my own painting and decorating, as part of my job, I learned different techniques of painting restoration. These techniques give walls an attractive appearance and feel around the house.
You have a sea sponge. You also need some old clothes and / or steep slopes of paper ready.

2. Paints
To use the flat, satin or semi – gloss paint. Example: bright or pastel colors than white will definitely look sharp and fresh. A signal light and dark of the same color that gives a subtle effect. The effects and design depends on how close the tracks of the sponge are many colors you use.

3. Step by step
- Transfer of paint (1 or 2 tablespoons) to the tray. This will allow you to wet the sponge with paint.
- Paint the wall or walls with a base color and let the paint dry for 16 to 24 hours.
- Clean the sponge with water and then wring it out. The sponge is too wet.
- Dip the sponge into the color from the jar. Some people use a brush to paint the sponge to spread.
- Test the printer by touching or gently tapping the sponge on paper waste. Note: If the print is wet,  it means that the paint in the towel too. In this case, the sponge mop until the print is soft. I’ve always used a small piece of sponge and started on a corner and my way out of the corner.
- Turn around half the sponge often for different effects.
- When the sponge is dry paint, and the prints look weak, reload the sponge with paint and test prints on scrap paper first pat on the walls. You can use the paint from the tray if the sponge should be moistened.

- Clean the sponge with water if it gets too clogged with paint.

4. more colors and shades
- You can apply more than one color until you let the paint dry between your hands.
- For a variety of colors, the first layer are staggered so that a fair amount of base layer visible. After the first coat is completely dry, use the following layer containing the prints are the closest. Gaps in this time.
- If you want two different tones of the same color prints as close to the part where you want the dark tone of application.
