Today’s homes are expressing the creative tastes of their owners in very unique ways. An increasing number of professional artisans throughout the country are creating murals on walls of bedrooms, family rooms, dens. They are usually specifically designed for the homeowner’s family, often incorporating personal elements, or art that reflects a favorite hobby or activity. Some homeowners use high-end plastering and texturing techniques to walls and ceilings to add an artistic feel to their homes.

Even a crowded and messy garage can be transformed into an artistic delight. There are now firms that specialize in creating new surfaces on garage floors and driveways or giving floors the appearance of liquid granite. They offer a wide range of materials and effects that can be used, including glow-in-the-dark flakes, sparkles, glitter and fluorescent colors. Other design elements are often incorporated into the surface. The cost for such surfaces varies with the size and type of surface desired, but typically it’s about $4 per foot.
