You can transform your home with stripes, flowers and a whole lot of other patterns, created on the walls using stenciling. Instead of using single colour coat from ceiling to floor, try to give an artistic touch to your wall. A single wall painted differently can change the whole look of your living space or drawing room. The best part - you can do it yourself using simple techniques like stenciling and masking.

But in case you think you are not that great an artist, relax. Signature paint styles are available at Asian Paints. Vertical or horizontal stripes can be created on a wall using a combination of colours. Choose one wall of a room for styling.

The signature paint styles are available for bedrooms, dining spaces and living spaces. But all good things come at a price. Right now available in select cities, Asian Paints wall fashion will cost you Rs 20.45 per sq ft whereas a plain wall painting costs just Rs 12.89 per sq ft.

Right colour schemes can do wonders. So if you like the ethnic look for your house, go for dark shades. Pastels give your home a more modern look. Yellow or orange colour creates a contemporary look. While decorating your home with wall fashion, always keep in mind the flooring colour. Pastel shade compliments marble flooring. No accessory looks good on it.

If floor carpeting has been done in some dark shade, then peach or beige colors on the wall will look good.

Here are some expert tips:

-Try not to use more than two shades in a single stripe

-If at all you go for more than two colours, choose the right combination -Living rooms should have stripes in corners only

-Stripes in four different shades give a trendy look to the room
