What You’ll Need

Planning & Preparation

Before you dive in, choose your stripe style! Want to make your ceilings feel higher? Go vertical. Hoping to stretch out a small room? Horizontal stripes are your best friend. Feeling bold? High-contrast colours like navy and white make a striking statement. Prefer subtle and sophisticated? Tone-on-tone shades can keep it soft but stylish.

Now, let’s prep! Clear out your workspace so you’ve got room to move and nothing in the way or under your feet. Give your walls or cupboards a quick clean so they’re dry and dust-free. And don’t skip the tape, masking trims, skirting boards, and handles is the secret to making sure your painting looks sharp, clean, and totally professional.

How to Paint Perfect Stripes

Step 1: Map It Out

Use a quality painter’s tape to outline your stripes. A level can help keep them straight, or you can even use the tape’s width as your measurement.

Step 2: Seal the Tape

For razor-sharp lines, paint over the tape edge with your base colour first. This seals the tape and stops your stripe colour from sneaking underneath the tape.

Step 3: Paint the Stripes

Roll on your stripe colour with the ProRenovator Microfibre Mini Roller it’s perfect for cupboards, trims, and smaller spaces. For those tricky corners and quick touch-ups, the ProRenovator Paint Pot makes painting a breeze. Tackling the full wall? Grab the 270mm Roller Kit with Extension Pole for smooth, even coverage and say goodbye to back strain while you paint like a pro.

Step 4: Peel & Reveal

Gently pull off the tape for a clean satisfying reveal!
