DIY: Striped Wall

What to do:

Step 1: You can liven up your walls by keeping your original colour and just adding stripes to the wall. Choose two paint colours that compliments the current wall.

Step 2: On the main wall start by giving the wall a quick coat of primer.

Step 3: Draw your lines on the wall. Paint thin white lines on the pencil markings you made.

Step 4: Once the paint is dry, tape onto the white stripes using tape.

Step 5: Apply paint sealer around the edges of the tape, and wait 15 minutes for it to dry completely. It goes on milky white, but dries crystal clear, so it’s easy to see when you’re ready to paint.

Step 6: While the paint sealer dries, mix up your paint colours you are going to use.

Step 7: Start applying your colour in the different sections.

Step 8: Once the paint is dry, slowly peel of the tape.

What you need:


1. Your selection of paint
2. Paint brush
3. Paint sealer
4. Primer paint
5. Measuring Tape
6. Pencil
