Paint colors for a whole home color palette with calming neutral paint colors from Behr, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin Williams.
I recently updated our 1970's guest bathroom by painting the cabinetry, replacing the builder grade mirror, painting the walls, and adding a striped accent wall. I started out with a bathroom that looked like this. And after just a few days and less than $200, I ended up with a space that I love. It just feels so much better now. Since the reveal, many of you have asked how to paint stripes. So, today we'll breeze through a quick tutorial. You just need a few supplies. Here's what I used: 1. Paint 2. Paintbrush (I use a Wooster Shortcut Paintbrush and swear by it. It saves so much time.) 4. Tape measure 5. Painter's Tape (This one is great for getting a crisp line.) 6. Level *Above links are affiliate links. Here are the paint colors I used in our guest bath. I used the Ocean Pearl (flat finish) as my main color and the Sea Salt (flat finish) as my accent stripe color. And a closeup: To read how I made that bird art for free, go here. Now let's get started. The first thing you need to do is decide how big to make your stripes. I measured the height of my wall, and divided the height by the number of stripes I wanted. For my wall, this determined that I should make each stripe 11 inches wide. (Doing this insures that you don't end up with a half stripe up at the top or bottom of your wall.) Once you know the width of each stripe, use your tape measure, level, and painter's tape, and start taping off the wall where the stripes should be. Make sure to press firmly on the edges of the tape. Run your finger along the edge, or use something like a credit card. This will prevent your paint from bleeding underneath the tape. As long as you've pressed down the tape, you should get a nice clean line. Then paint every other stripe with the accent color you've chosen. As you can see in the above photo, when I was done painting a stripe, I took the tape down. You'll want to take the tape down while the paint is still wet to avoid damaging the paint. When it's done, you should have something like this: And that's all for today, ya'll. Thanks so much for being here! I'll be back soon to share the makeovers of the office, kitchen, and the master bath. Follow my blog with Follow my blog on or or Subscribe to LiveLoveDIY with email! Enter your email address: -->
