Painting patterns + bold paint designs are easier than you imagine, #HossColor

This might be my favorite painted wall. The styling of the sofa and lamp make it truly a work of art.

If you’ve swooned over bold painting patterns and designs on Pinterest, we can get you started on making those paint fantasies come true at your home.

Painting a room is the biggest impact for the littlest cost and time investment. And painting a statement wall can make your cup of home decor joy overflow with bliss.

And it’s easier than you might imagine to create a bold graphic or a repeating painting pattern on a wall.

The first step I suggest is using a blank canvas to try out the design you desire. I know it sounds like extra work, but there are big pay-offs. A small version of the bigger wall gives you practice in the taping, laying out, and painting techniques that you’ll need. The finished wall art can provide a chance to court the look before marrying it on your wall. And, when the new featured painted wall is complete, there’s a mini version that you can hang in an adjacent room. Talk about coordinating a home decor look.

From taping to laying out the pattern, to when to remove the tape, and more, we’ll be talking painting patterns and graphics techniques on #HossColor chat on Wednesday, March 9th at 1:30pmET. I hope you’ll pop over to Twitter to search #HossColor and join us.

And, I’ll post the answers to those painting patterns techniques after the chat.

Join us every Wednesday at 1pE for HossColor!
