If you find it too boring to spend time in rooms with walls just painted white, you should use paint and brushes to create your own motifs according to your own taste. The prerequisite for a successful color block outcome is not just creativity, but simple tricks: like to use masking tape to color block walls.
How to choose the right wall filler
Masking with the tape
With the expressive pattern, use masking tape to color block walls with several overlapping points of the adhesive tape. Sharp edges are required for the geometric fields to have a good effect in different shades of green and blue. That is, color must not be lost. But what does this tape have, what others do not have?
The advantage when you use masking tape to color block walls is also that you can apply this tape not only on smooth, but also slightly rough surfaces. However, the use must not be limited to artfully designed borders.
Tape is available in many different widths. In the case of water-soluble paints, varnishes and glazes, it is also suitable for masking baseboards, windows and doors. What you also want to delete – masking is an art, so you get a good result!
Use masking tape to color block walls: step by step
- First set the width of the border and mark the upper and lower edge with a rule and pencil.
- Use a spirit level to mark the length of the border with pencil along the marked points.
- Then stick the tape according to the pattern. Either free hand or mark the lines beforehand. To make sure the tape really sticks to the wall and can not run any paint underneath, it is pressed with a cloth at the edges.
- Larger colored areas are applied with the roller.
- On borders and small fields, it is best to apply the paint with a brush.
- As long as the paint is still wet, the tape is pulled flat and swiftly from the wall.
