Most often, it is customary to wallpaper the walls. But painting has many advantages, because you have a greater scope of imagination and you can create a drawing yourself.
Also, painted walls are easier to clean and cheaper to update. The author tells how to make a stylish natural pattern with your own hands.
First of all, you need to make three stencils. You can find them in the store or order printing and cutting down at the printing house. Three different leaf shapes will help make the pattern more chaotic and more natural.
Dark walls will not necessarily be gloomy. Monochrome gamma combined with bright furniture and bright accents - a great combination in a modern style.
Paint the wall a dark gray color. Next, knead three shades of gray, each one lighter than the previous one.
The main stages of work
We will start the work with the darkest color. Soak the roller evenly with paint, and then dry a little on a paper towel.
This will help to avoid smudges, and the pattern will not stand out from the wall texture. Before each new layer, let the old one dry properly, otherwise the paint may smear or remain on the adhesive tape.
Each time, stick the stencils at a different slope and with a different distance from each other. It is sometimes better to step back and look at the wall from afar to see the big picture.
Remember that our goal is a natural pattern in which a particular system will not be traced. So in some places you can go in sheets of the same color on top of each other, and in some - leave more free space.
The work is over! Such a technique gives a huge scope for creativity. By choosing different colors and patterns, you can create an atmosphere that suits your home.
