We had this DIY stencil wall for about three years now and wanted to change the look of this room by adding more indoor plants. With the indoor plants hanging the wall looked a little crowded, so we changed it up with this easy and fun colour wash technique. Depending on the lighting, this room looks different and beautiful in person.
For this quick and easy painting technique we used three different colours of acrylic based paint we had. You can use any type of paint you have in hand to try this. We found it easy to blend the paint using a wide paint brush and do a whole hand movement. We haven't put a top coat on this wall yet, and looking forward to doing this soon.
For this project you will need...
primer or base colour
paint any colour combination you want
3" to 4" wide paint brush
2" wide paint brush
paint tray
painter's tape
top coat glaze
First remove any outlet plates that are on the wall. Then frame the area you want to paint with painter's tape. Use a primer or base colour and paint over the wall.
Pour the colour combinations onto the paint tray, we used a mustard, yellow, and white paint. Dip the brush into the three paints so all the three different colours get individually picked up by the brush without mixing the paints, this will make the colours stand out more. You can use a smaller wide brush and blend it in.
Use a crosshatch motion and overlap the paint to cover the surface. Play around with the paint and blend to get the effect you want.
Once the paint dries completely remove the painter's tape.
Depending on the lighting the look of this wall is different and it brings out the greenery in the room.
