Is your living room in need of an update but you’re short on cash after overspending this summer?
This is the perfect hack to create a really unusual feature wall on a budget.
People have been making these striking walls by marking out a random pattern with strips of masking tape and painting the segments with paint from tester pots.
Ideally, you need a white or cream wall underneath as that dictates the colour of the stripes under the masking tape.
Then you just need to mark out the pattern, pulling the tape to keep it straight. Most people have used £1 masking tape but others suggest using frog tape, which is slightly more expensive but helps to prevent the paint bleeding.
Paint the segments, painting slightly over the edge of the tape to make sure it’s covered.
Depending on the shades you choose, you might need a few coats.
Wait until it’s completely dry and then gently remove the tape to leave the straight defined lines.
Most people have picked up tester pots, which cost around £1-£2 each, choosing colours that work together.
Louise created a wall using shades of green by buying dark green paint and mixing it with some white paint she already had to make four different tones for the wall.
Or you can try using up paint in your house to keep it really low cost.
The money-saving hack has gained lots of fans online.
People have been sharing the results of their work in Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks.
Emma Hughes said: ‘Jumping on the geometric bandwagon. Only paid £1 for making tape from Poundland as I had paint spare from decorating other rooms. Really pleased with how it came out.’
Leanne used the hack and added Marvel stickers to the sections for her twin boys’ room. She said: ‘Turned out great and the boys absolutely love it. Great feature wall.’
Anya added: ‘Decided to jump on the bandwagon really pleased with the outcome. Can’t wait to do the rest of my house lol.’
