Hey, creative souls! 🎨✨ Are you ready to turn that boring wall into a show-stopping feature? Painting a feature wall is an awesome way to add personality and style to any room. So, gather your supplies, put on some music, and let’s make your walls sing!
What You’ll Need:
- Paint (choose your favourite colour)
- ProRenovator 230mm Walls & Ceilings Kit (includes two rollers and a tray)
- ProRenovator Wall Brush (for cutting in those edges)
- ProRenovator Pole (to reach high walls and ceilings)
- Masking tape (to keep lines sharp)
- Drop sheets (to protect your floors and furniture)
- Sandpaper (to prep your wall)
- Sugar soap (for removing grime and dust)
Step 1: Choose Your Colour
Do you want a bold, energetic hue or a calming, serene shade? Grab some paint samples and see how they look in your space at different times of the day. Once you find “the one,” you’re ready to roll!
Step 2: Prep Your Wall
Let’s get that wall ready for its big moment! Start by giving it a gentle sand to smooth out any imperfections. Next, give it a clean with sugar soap to remove excess dust and grime. Lay down your drop sheets to protect your floors and furniture from splatters—no one wants a paint mess!
Step 3: Tape It Up
Time to bring out the masking tape! Apply it along the edges where your feature wall meets other walls, ceilings, or trims. This step is crucial for those crisp, clean lines that make your wall look professionally done. Take your time—great things come to those who tape!
Step 4: Cutting In
Use your brush to cut in around the edges of the wall and any power points.
Step 5: Roll Your Paint On!
Now for the fun part! Pour your paint into the tray and grab your roller. Start rolling in small sections, starting in the middle and rolling up and down. Remember: two coats are essential to get that colour on point so once your paint is dry, repeat Steps 4 + 5 for the second coat. Remember to check your chosen paint can for recommended drying times.
Step 6: Remove the Tape
It’s time to peel off the tape and reveal those super straight lines – so satisfying!
Now you should have a stunning finish! Your feature wall is now a vibrant backdrop for creativity! Style it with artwork or put your favourite chairs in front of it to make the space truly yours. Think about lighting, too—a well-placed lamp or fairy lights can really bring it to life!
And there you have it—you’ve turned a plain space into a vibrant canvas that reflects your personality. Happy painting! 🎨✨
