After spending several months in the new studio, I’m finally tackling larger projects I’ve been planning since the move. My original idea was to keep the space light and mostly white for shooting, but after living here a while, a few areas clearly needed pops of color to bring them to life.
To help with that, I partnered with 3M and their ScotchBlue™ Pre-Taped Painter’s Plastic. Over the next few months I’ll be sharing a series of color-focused projects; this post is the first in that series.
I’ve been inspired by geometric patterns and murals I’ve seen lately, so I decided to paint a bold, geometric-style mural on the upstairs half wall. It would also work beautifully in an entryway, hallway, or landing—no half wall required. The plan was partly pre-designed and partly improvised, and the whole process is very achievable for anyone with basic painting tools and a little time. Below are the materials and step-by-step instructions I used to create this colorful mural.
