What do you do to get a faux stucco appearance?

Question

I hate my kitchen color on the walls and I want my living room and dining room to all blend in. I'm looking for a stucco idea to put on the walls but I live in a mobile home and have no clue what to look for or what to buy. I just know I want stucco and I know I want it too be a southwestern color to bring all three rooms together.

Answer 1

Search for a textured wallpaper - that will be your best bet  in a trailer home as the walls flex too much for actual stucco/plaster finishes.

Answer 2

In my home, I created a faux stucco effect by adding a little bit of sand to the paint.  If the walls of your home are able to be painted, then try mixing about a cup of sand in a gallon of paint.  Be sure to mix it thoroughly.  Also, the sponge type of brushes won't work on this type of paint.
