go to home depot or lowes and they will have little chunks of sponge in the painting section. they work much better than a roller or loufa. they are just a chunk of sponge, about as big as your palm, and they are all holey and stuff. they don't look like a regular kitchen sponge. ask an employee at the store for more help if they won't work. those colors sound really cuteI need help with sponge painting my room.....?
Are you using latex paint? You need to. You also need to thin the paint to use a sponge of any kind. I have used sponge painting, always with a piece of sponge. You have to experiment to get the right paint to be thinned right and to get the right amount of paint on the sponge. Try doing one wall at a time. The corners are the hardest.
First off did you use a tinted glaze especially for sponge painting or regular paint. If you used regular paint, no wonder it looks a mess. A glaze will lift off leaving the sponging effect on the wall. We just did my daughter's TV room and it looks amazing. The best thing now would be to repaint the room and then pick out a nice tinted glaze and try again with the roller. You can use a sea sponge in the corners where the roller doesn't fit. Work on a scrap piece of wall board first to get an idea of how the glazing technique works, but it is basically to roll on in one direction and work toward the effect you are going for. Get a How-To booklet at a home improvement store that explains it better.
They sell sponges that are made for painting. The trick is to get a lot of the paint off before putting it on the wall. I have used a feather duster in the past to achieve similar results. You put the duster in the paint and then blot a lot off and just randomly press it on the wall over and over. It sounds crazy but it turned out great!
