Are you ready to ride the wave of one of the hottest trends in home décor? Paint washes are taking the design world by storm, and for good reason! This technique offers a soft, layered effect that enhances texture and adds depth to your furniture and walls. A paint wash involves diluting your favourite Fusion Mineral Paint colour with water to create a translucent finish that beautifully showcases the natural character of the materials beneath. It’s the perfect way to give new life to old pieces while embracing a modern, chic aesthetic. Whether refreshing a vintage dresser or creating a serene accent wall, a paint wash is an inspiring way to elevate your space. Let’s dive into some of our favourite Paint Wash projects shared by our talented community on our Facebook page, Paint It Beautiful!
