Sponge Painting Tips

Filed under: Decor,DIY,Home — rightwords @ 4:16 pm

The idea of painting with sponges is something that will remind most people of being in kindergarden painting funny shapes with their first teacher. Most people only ever think of painting their walls either with a brush or roller.

You don’t need anything too fancy to start sponge painting with. Natural sponges are your best choice for interior decorating jobs. The artificial sponges are ok but you just don’t get the same finish as with the real thing.

You’ll want to avoid oil based paints when sponge painting – they won’t work (generally speaking) when you’re trying to achieve this type of finish. Water based/latex paints are ideal for sponge painting because they’re easier to work with and you can rinse off painting tools easily after using them.
