Create Geometric Wall Accents: Materials and Instructions

Good preparation is essential if you want geometric patterns to become the focus of a wall. Plan the motif in detail: it may be made of horizontal or vertical stripes, squares, triangles, or other simple forms. Designs in two contrasting colors look especially striking. You will need painter’s tape, scissors, paint or spray paint, gloves, and a mask if you are spraying. First sketch how the finished wall should look. Measure the surface and mark the pattern lightly with pencil. For repeating motifs, make a template and transfer it to the wall. Paint the wall first in the lighter shade and let it dry completely. Then apply the tape along the marked lines and paint the exposed areas in the darker color. Once the paint is dry, remove the tape. This simple method creates crisp, graphic designs.

Geometric Wall Accents: Which Colors Work Best?

Black, white, and gray suit minimalist interiors perfectly, but bold color combinations can set the tone just as effectively. Green, orange, and yellow work especially well in Scandinavian-inspired rooms. Vintage or eclectic interiors can also handle stronger, darker colors.
