Imani, from @imaniathome, transformed her space into a vibrant home office by flooding it with bold color, adding statement wallpaper and layering in stylish decor.
Supplies Needed:
Clean & Prep
Proper paint prep is everything. Start by sanding the walls until they are smooth. Then, clean with a degreaser.
Add Wallpaper & Tape
Using manufacturer guidelines, Imani installed the peel-and-stick wallpaper.
Once applied, start by covering the edges of the wallpaper with FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape. Use this to protect the baseboards as well. However, to protect the doors, Imani recommends FrogTape Advanced™ Painter's Tape.
Cut In
Using a mini angled brush, Imani cut in around the room. Color-drenching is the goal, so she especially concentrates on the ceilings, corners and baseboards.
Roll It Out
Apply paint to the entire room. Color-drenching is an easy paint trend to achieve. But if you’re painting a light color on top of a light color, it can be very difficult to see if you missed a spot. Imani recommends starting and finishing in the same corner of the room.
Remove Tape
While the paint is still wet, remove the tape and observe your hard work!
Style & Enjoy
Now that the hard part is done, have fun designing your space!
