$12 Living Room Refresh
We changed up our living room layout for the first time since moving in! It's tough to create new layouts in smaller rooms, especially with a fireplace and windows/arches on all four walls. We swapped around the TV and sofa, then took the risk of pulling the sofa forward to create a mini hallway. After rearranging the furniture, the previous gallery wall that surrounded the TV needed to go. I had to mess around with a couple of designs, but ended up with a cheap and easy colorblock wall that works for now!
You can also see my failed attempt here. I've seen some wonderful round colorblock inspirations, but it just didn't work in our space with all of the archways. We decided to cover the whole wall with an abstract design.
This prevents paint bleed. We have textured walls so I needed all the help I could get! Our wall color is Simply White by Benjamin Moore.
I used Mink Haze (top), Pasha Brown (bottom), and Fennel Seed (right) from Behr.

You give me inspiration - I have always wanted to do that but wasn't sure if it would look too commercial, but I can see it looks fabulous!

LOVE! Question, why did you decide on the white border (tape width) around the wall versus painting to the edges of the wall? It does add more white POP ... but I just wondered. I love this idea. It's simple, fresh and looks AH-mazing!
This looks awesome! Our new house is so 80’s but great bones and I want to liven it up so badly. For the lines between the color, did you just go back and touch up after the colored paint? The lines are so perfect 😊
What did you do with the light switch?
