Why not try a glaze on your walls like interior designer Jennifer Garrigues used in “The New Color Code” (CTC&G February). In order to create this multi-dimensional look, Garrigues’ team put down a base coat of an off-white paint. Her painters then mixed the water-based glaze, a clear, syrupy liquid, to which color was added. The mixture could then be stippled, sponged or striated onto the wall. (In this case, the team used the sponge technique.) For the kitchen, bedroom, and living room of this Palm Beach house, glazes of apple green, blue, and sandy beige, respectively, were used. Using this method made the rooms “all flow together beautifully,” says Garrigues, and it also let the painters manipulate the color more easily than with flat paint. Depending upon the color of the base coat and how you apply the glaze to the wall—with light brushstrokes or layering it on with sponges as Garrigues and her team did—you can achieve a range of looks from the same glaze.
