Adding A Checkered Accent Wall Tutorial

Hi and Pleased Monday!!! I have been doing the job on this article for a when, but lifetime continued to get in the way – but I wanted to share a how-to on introducing this major checked accent wall, because checkered sample is so fashionable proper now! It is quite doable, and you only require a several essential applications!

What I necessary:

A laser degree – I would say this is not vital, but it manufactured this venture much much a lot easier.

A normal stage

A ruler – I desire these wood ones

a whole lot of blue tape!!

brushes and rollers

To start off:

Very first I measured my wall dimensions in total, and divided up the squares into the width that I wanted. I went with 14 X 14 inch squares. You then have to tape the squares – I commenced by taping horizontally, and then moved on to vertical. In get to tape items, you need to account for the TAPE Dimensions into the comprehensive sq. dimension, so you will start off by building rows 1, 3, and 5 the accurate dimensions, and then incorporate the dimension of the tape into the width of rows 2 and 4. You will begin by painting each and every other row, though the in concerning rows will have tape included portion of the squares. After you paint each other row, then you will go back in, and commence to change tape around. Beneath is an illustration of what my wall seemed like immediately after I was accomplished portray rows 1, 3 and 5 and ready to paint rows 2 and 4.

As soon as the paint is completely dry, you will peel it off, and connect corner to corner of the painted squares. You will basically be re-taping the outline of the new squares that you want to paint, It seems incredibly puzzling, but I truly feel like when you are in the challenge, it does commence to make so significantly feeling. Beneath is an impression wherever you can form of see what I indicate – the accent shade has been painted in in between the freshly painted squares!

I determined to add in this accent shade simply because I felt like it desired the more dimension, and I was also encouraged by @saraheartmann tutorial, and liked the lavender combined with a second colour. I hope this clarifies it for you, and if you have any supplemental queries just comment under!
