Glazes mixed with brown interior latex paint with a smooshing off with a rag works well. I did a powder room this way years ago. The corners can be tricky as not to over apply.
Hi there, Practice before trying on the wall - Paint, then before dry use a scrunched up polythene bag to give you texture. Good luck! You might even want to use a darker shade underneath and let it dry, then add top colour, because the poly bag will take off some of the wet paint as it goes, exposing the base coat!
PS: It is possible to borrow a book on Paint finishes from a Library!
Ralph Lauren makes a suede paint so that might be your best bet.
