TRIVIA: D.I.Y. – Paints and Painting of Wall for Renovation

• I. You don’t always need a whole new paint job to update your wall. Sometimes, all it needs is a distinct design to make it look updated and unique. In these instances, choosing a stencil is the best option. It costs way less than a paint job as you won’t need to cover the entire wall. Stenciling is also a whole lot more fun, and you’ll save time too as you’ll only need to paint a few sections, depending on your stencil design.

• II. When picking the paint color, make sure it combines or contrasts well with your existing wall. Be sure to also pick up some paint in the same shade as your wall to clean up any mistakes. When choosing or making your stencil pattern, pick one that best reflects your style. Imagine the overall look of your wall to help you determine where and how to paint your stencil.

• III. Next, you have to clean your wall thoroughly, but not so hard that you scrape off any of the paint. If your wall is already pretty clean, at least wipe it with a damp washcloth to make sure it doesn’t have any dust. Before you start painting, practice on a piece of cardboard first. This will help you get comfortable with the brush or roller you’re using and will show you what the stencil will look like on the wall. Keep practicing until you feel comfortable enough for the real deal.

• IV. When you are ready to begin, attach the stencil to the wall, preferably using spray adhesive. To achieve a temporary bond, spray it on the stencil and wait three to five minutes before sticking it to the wall. Once ready, you may then paint away! If you are stenciling near a trim, a corner, or any area that you do not want painted, protect these parts with tape first.

• V. When using your paintbrush or roller, do not add too much paint at a time. It is actually advisable to use as little as possible as this prevents paint from seeping under the edges of the stencil. If you find that the first layer of paint is too thin, just leave it on for a minute, and then paint a second layer. This process is much safer than painting a thick layer and accidentally messing up the design.

• VI. When you are done painting over the stencil, pull it off, and allow your paint to dry. Now, if you messed up, clean it up with a baby wipe or a damp Q-tip. This will work if the paint is still wet. If the paint is already dry, you will have to paint over your error using the same paint color as the wall.
