With the antique look, you can can either paint it and leave it one color or you can antique the surface with a gold or silver wash. This is done by first painting the surface and then painting the “wash” on a small area and then wiping the wall immediately, while it's still wet, which leaves the “wash” in the cracks and indentations, forming a two-tone or “older” appearance. Naturally, this is more time consuming.

Another popular way of painting is by having one or more walls a bold color, while the other walls are a lighter, less intimidating color.

Another design effect around the ceiling lights is done by the drywall man. He actaully sculpts a circle on the ceiling and does ornate designs around the light in the ceiling. This is highlighted when painting over the design. The design will have a diameter of 4 to 6 feet.
