Resist the Urge to Stretch

When masking any surface, pull

tape off the roll a few feet at a

time. Avoid stretching the tape,

as this can cause it to lift up

or break.

Get Extra Sharp Lines

Seal the edge of the tape with

the basecoat color. This helps the

tape adhere and gives you clean,

sharp, professional paint lines.

Helpful Hints

Size & Scale Suggestions

• Consider the size of the room and the potential size of each shape.

• You may wish to vary the sizes and use a range of shapes –

including squares, circles, triangles, and rectangles.

• Shapes can completely cover the wall, overlap one another, or be

free standing.

• Sketch your vision on paper, drawn to scale. This will give you a

blueprint of how the selected shapes, widths, and spacing will ﬁt

onto your wall.

• Use tape to bring your vision to life and see it come together –

before you paint.

Paint Pointers

• Choose colors that work well together and enhance the base color

of your wall.

• Create added depth and interest by choosing colors that contrast

with one another.

• Think about the feeling you wish to evoke: bold colors create a

sense of energy and excitement; softer, muted colors are softer and

more soothing.

• Before you buy, consider bringing home paint swatches or samples,

to get an idea of how the colors will look together in your space. It’s

a great way to avoid time-consuming painting mistakes.
