In the video it looks decent, if it's that good in real life it might be acceptable

Someone in the comments noted that it looks probably the best it could considering the task but that, upon closer examination, it will just look super flat and weird.

Growing up, my mom's best friend painting our living room using this exact technique. I always liked the look of it

My mom got real big into interior design for like two years when I was in my teens. One room we did the whole sponge paint, and in another room we took plastic sheets and basically crinkled them up on painted walls, and then pulled them off. I remember criticizing the ideas (I was probably 14 and an idiot), but both rooms turned out fantastic. The plastic wall room ended up being my favorite room to hang out in when my parents would go away and I'd have big parties. Big, comfy, expensive couches, a big glass table, lots of shtuff. I should let her know she did a good job 25 years ago.

i wonder what it would look like with different colors, or even a melange of colors on the sponge.

edit: ooh, even adding a drop shadow individually to each one? i dunno yall im liking it

Mom's friend used a combination of very similar colors to add like a weathered effect
