How to Paint Striped Walls

Striped walls add a bold statement to a room. The geometric pattern of black and white stripes is modern, glamorous, and sleek. I put together a gallery of black and white striped walls for inspiration. Creating the look on your own is not that hard. scroll down for a video by Tom Bury for creating this look in your own home.

Tom Bury's video on how to paint stripes on a wall takes the mystery out of creating this look on your own. 

Key Points

  1. Calculate the spacing and number of stripes
  2. Use a laser
  3. Use the correct type of painter's tape
  4. Don;t wait until the paint is completely dry before removing the painter's tape

I'm brainstorming ideas on incorporating striped walls in my next project. What rooms do you think are best suited for striped walls?
