The technique of faux painting adds grace and sophistication to any room. Striped effects create rich textures and handmade detail that cannot be matched by wallpaper patterns, and they make a room with a low ceiling appear taller.
Step 5: Use tape to mask for the first stripe. Using Kraft painter’s masking tape, which has a removable adhesive on just one half of the paper, carefully line the adhesive side of the paper with the marks on the wall and run a single length of tape down to the mark on the bottom of the wall. Press the adhesive for a tight seal. It’s much easier if you have someone help you with this part of the project.
