Buffalo Check

You’ll need three coordinating colors for this technique and to make the buffalo check pattern, use a ruler and level to mark vertical and horizontal lines spaced four inches apart. Outline the stripes with painters tape and paint horizontal lines in the lightest color. With your medium-tone color paint vertical lines, then fill the squares where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect with the darkest shade of paint.

Painted Wall Stripes

This wall painting idea is great for home offices and kids bedrooms and playrooms. To paint the striped wall, use painters tape and a level to mark off equally spaced horizontal lines. Paint inside the tape sections and remove the tape when the paint is dry.

DIY Ombre

Use three paints in dark, medium, and light colors. To get the in-between shades, mix equal parts of your dark and medium paints and your light and medium paints. Paint the darkest color at the bottom and the medium shade above it, making sure to leave a gap between. Then, while the paint is wet, brush the medium-dark shade in the space between, using vertical strokes to blend them together. Repeat this step with your lighter colors as you move up the wall.

Choose Your Color and Style

It’s best to keep things simple, so the focus remains on what’s inside the frame. Thin wood gallery frames in blacks, whites, and natural wood finishes are always a good choice as they work well with any type of art. If you like something a bit extravagant, try metallic frames.

Consider a Gallery Wall

Avoid frames that are matchy-matchy as gallery walls look better with frames that look like they were added over time.

No Frames

For most artwork, you’ll want to frame it, but there are always exceptions like stretched canvas pieces or old oil paintings. If the piece is valuable, frame it to keep it safe from air and the elements.

Choose the Matting

Make sure you keep the matting simple by using a white backdrop. For darker pieces, forgo the matting and stick with a black frame to make the piece look frameless.

Here’s how to install your very own murals on your walls.

The Prep

Take down the measurements for your wall including the height and width, so you order the right mural size. Make sure you remove nails, outlets, light switches, and screws from the walls.

Unroll

Start by laying the panels on the floor in the correct order. Many sets are already numbered, which makes the whole process easier. Have another person help you peel off the backing of the adhesive or to help you apply the paste to the wall.

Stick it On

Put the first panel on the wall and press it on with your hands. Use a scraper to get rid of the air bubbles. Repeat this step with the other panels until you’re finished. If there is excess paste be sure to wipe it off with a damp towel and let it dry. The last step is to trim any leftover paper from the top and bottom. Walla, you’re finished!
