Wall glitter: Add sparkle to your home with shimmery paints

When you open the wardrobe each morning to decide what to wear, you’re choosing how to present yourself. Clothes say a lot about us, our moods, and how we tackle the daily routine.

Ever thought that the same might apply to the rooms we live in and spend time in? Choosing how to dress the walls and spaces of your home  is like selecting an outfit to frame your day.

We could say that wall dressing is an art form. Using a well-chosen decorative paint to do this means adding the right value to your space.

In this guide, our aim is to shed some light on a product that can add luminosity and luxury to any interior, glitter paint.

Often undervalued or overlooked when it comes to home decor, glitter paints are in fact a valuable ally. In small rooms, they help illuminate a space, while they can bring a vibrant personal touch to a larger setting.

How to paint a glitter wall

In general, you have two options when it comes to creating a glitter wall:

1) Use a glitter additive in your chosen paint

This is certainly the quickest way to create a glitter wall. Simply mix the paint carefully with the additive and apply as normal.

2) Choose a decorative paint that already contains glitter

1) KLONDIKE AND KLONDIKE LIGHT

KLONDIKE AND KLONDIKE LIGHT are interior paints that incorporate shimmering metallic fragments for an enhanced golden, silvery, or oxidised effect.

The glitter is "trapped" in the metallic shades of the paint, creating a modern, contemporary finish.

These products are easy to apply, available in different shades, and offer you the opportunity to play with light, for a modern, contemporary look.

2) SABULADOR AND SABULATOR SOFT

Maybe a sand-effect paint already has its own kind of sparkle? SABULADOR AND SABULATOR SOFT contain special luminescent sand reflections. They come in two types: LUX, the classic version with a more luminous effect, and MATT, the opaque version.

A unique way to create a distinctive, sophisticated space using glitter paint.
