Hey and Joyful Monday!!! I’ve been engaged on this put up for some time, however life continued to get in the best way – however I wished to share a how-to on including this massive checked accent wall, since checkered sample is so stylish proper now! It is extremely doable, and also you solely want just a few essential instruments!
What I wanted:
A laser stage – I might say this isn’t essential, but it surely made this undertaking a lot a lot simpler.
A ruler – I desire these wooden ones
quite a lot of blue tape!!
brushes and rollers
To begin:
First I measured my wall measurement in full, and divided up the squares into the width that I wished. I went with 14 X 14 inch squares. You then must tape the squares – I began by taping horizontally, after which moved on to vertical. So as to tape issues, you could account for the TAPE SIZE into the complete sq. measurement, so you’ll start by creating rows 1, 3, and 5 the proper measurement, after which add the dimensions of the tape into the width of rows 2 and 4. You’ll start by portray each different row, whereas the in between rows could have tape lined a part of the squares. When you paint each different row, then you’ll return in, and start to shift tape round. Under is an instance of what my wall regarded like after I used to be completed portray rows 1, 3 and 5 and able to paint rows 2 and 4.
As soon as the paint is totally dry, you’ll peel it off, and join nook to nook of the painted squares. You’ll principally be re-taping the define of the brand new squares that you simply wish to paint, It sounds very complicated, however I really feel like if you end up within the undertaking, it does start to make a lot sense. Under is a picture the place you’ll be able to type of see what I imply – the accent coloration has been painted in between the newly painted squares!
I made a decision so as to add on this accent coloration as a result of I felt prefer it wanted the additional dimension, and I used to be additionally impressed by @saraheartmann tutorial, and beloved the lavender combined with a second coloration. I hope this explains it for you, and when you’ve got any further questions simply remark under!
