Venetian Plaster is really beautiful and easy to do. You can use a practice board to try a few techniques and see what works for you. It gives the walls an old world, aged plaster look.





Aside from that you can put on a coat of latex in a color of your choice. Next, mix a slightly lighter or darker shade of the same color with glazing liqid and sponge lightly over the primary coat. You can go for a washed look or a stippled look. The key to making it subtle is to use similar shades of the same color.
