Painters Tape Accent Wall

No tools needed for this inexpensive and super easy accent wall. All you need is painters tape, some paint, an angled brush, roller and of course some creativity.
See for yourself how easy this project is!
Apply painters tape in your desired pattern. I chose to apply my tape in lines and X patterns because the simpler the better for me. I have absolutely NO artistic ability so this pattern is definitely Foolproof! Make sure your tape extends a bit past the ceiling and the base to help get a crisp look. You may also want to tape off the edges. Make sure you are pressing the tape on firmly.
Apply your paint. I used a roller and and 1 inch angled paintbrush. The color I am using is Sherwin Williams Repose Gray. I only needed to apply one coat and did some touchups. You will want your paint to dry for approximately four hours before removing your tape.
Very carefully remove your tape. It’s OK if the lines aren’t exactly perfect. From a distance I promise it will look spectacular!
Tada! This was a very fun, simple project. Once I get sick of it I just have to repaint. This is my kind of project! Show me your painters tape accent walls, and enjoy!
