Easy DIY Gold Triangle Faux Wallpaper
I’ve always loved the look of wallpaper, but I’ve never enjoyed the price or the effort that is required to hang it. And thus, I have a confession to make – I’ve never used it. Instead I do things like creating gold triangle patterned walls using other materials. Keep reading to find out how I used something called metalized polyester film tape to create this glamorous accent wall in my home office.
The first step is to decide what sort of shape and pattern you're going to use. I did triangles and alternated them across the wall, with about one foot in between each one. You might also try squares or little lines.... anything that you can easily cut with a pair of scissors is fair game.
The only thing you’ll need is metalized polyester film tape and a pair of scissors. Begin by cutting at a 45 degree angle to form a small triangle.
Carefully remove it from the blade of the scissors and adhere it to the wall. Space them out so that there is approximately one foot in between each one, and do one whole row all the way across the wall. If you want to get mathematic about it, grab a laser level and a ruler. But honestly, I just eyeballed it and I think it has a wonderfully playful feel about it. Place the next row about 8 inches below that one and stagger them so each triangle sits halfway between the two above.
Here is the finished product... pretty fun right?! To check out the rest of the tutorial which includes some important tips and tricks, head over to my blog Design Fixation. I also share where you can buy this exact type of super metallic gold tape.
