How to do color block on your wall;

DRAWING THE BLOCKS

Before begining your color blocking technique for walls, practice your design ideas on a few sheets of paper (one inch equals one foot). If your wall is 8' high for example, draw on your practice paper a few rectangles 8'' in height by 2'' wide then fill in the rectangles with smaller blocks.

Try and have the top, middle and bottom sections look different from each other. After drawing your shapes on paper, use pencil crayons or felt pens to color in the blocks.

Here are six handy tips to colour block your own walls:

1 Plan the shape on the wall according to the size of the space. Be sure to take into consideration the placement of furniture in the room when designing your colour block.

2 Choose your paint colours and finish, be as creative as you wish!

3 Measure your shape or pattern on the wall, drawing very lightly with a pencil

4 Apply painter's tape to the lines if they're straight. If using curved lines, it's best to use a stencil.

5 Paint within the lines of your shape, being careful not to use too much paint; you don't want it to seep outside the lines.

6 Carefully remove the painter's tape or stencil immediately after painting.


Enjoy Color Blocking!!
