Ragging is very similar to sponging on, except a rag is used to give this effect.  Using a rag to add texture and depth to the wall is an inexpensive way to add a faux finish and change the surface of the space your are painting.  There are different ways to achieve this effect, possibly the easiest would be to work the rag around the roller and use rubber bands to hold it in place, then work the rag around the walls with the roller.  This is a simple way to add extra style and texture to any room.When thinking on decorating kids rooms, applying painted stripes on the living room, hallway etc, the first think that comes in the mind of the decorator is the sponging or ragging techniques. When imitating marble effects on walls or painted wood, moldings etc, Sponging or ragging techniques are perfect for a variety of finishes like: distressed texture, fabric-like texture, stone effects, leather like texture, old world etc. As many other faux finishing techniques, sponging or ragging techniques are applied in-top of a base coat.

The sponging technique includes the sponge-on and sponge-off, the ragging technique includes the rag-off and rag-on. A mixture of tinted glaze and metallic paint can create amazing effects with these applications.
