  This guide to paint finishes takes on a new look, reflecting the simplicity of the '90s interior. The dominant mood for paintwork, walls and furniture is gentle and unobstrusive, so simple techniques for creating rubbed, distressed and aged effects feature prominently, together with ideas for fresco-style finishes that emulate the suble textures of Italian painted plaster. Painted furniture is given greater emphasis, with new suggestions for marbling, antiquing and transforming pieces with watercolour paints. All materials and products mentioned have been updated.
