DIY Murals For Walls To Fight Lockdown Blues

DIY Wall Paintings For Your Home

Right from the beginning of 2020, we all have been sailing in the same boat. Owing to the deadly coronavirus, everyone has been isolated, irrespective of wherever we are. This has made huge differences in our lives and transformed them in unimaginable ways.

Isn’t it boring to sit at home and watch the news all day? How about giving your house a makeover and making the walls of your room more attractive? Here is a comprehensive step-by-step guide on DIY wall paintings for your home:

Pick Your Design –

The first step to creating your mural is picking the right design. Shortlist several samples and go for the one which suits best the particular wall of the room you want to lay hands on.

Create a Rough Sketch –

Creating your murals isn’t trial and error. For obvious reasons, you should not paint directly on the wall without making a rough sketch. Firstly you should make a sample sketch on paper and draw the same on the wall after your final draft.

Sort Out Your Equipment –

Painting involves a lot of equipment, starting from brushes and paint rollers to other important tools. Research and sort out all of your equipment that you are going to need. Some of the tools you might require could be scales, stencils, and tape, apart from paint-related ones.

Picking the Right Paint –

There are a dozen different types and qualities of wall paints available a few clicks away. Try exploring through different colors available at various online shopping websites. Ultimately, it all comes down to your extent of creativity.

Prepare Your Wall –

Before starting off with the brush, make sure your wall is smooth and ready to be painted. You can do this through patching. Fill up any uneven part with a spackling paste or a gypsum-made compound.

Painting –

Here comes the fun part. Mix the right amount of colors. Pick the best brushes and start painting your design with colors of your choice. Give your design the necessary number of coats (preferably three layers) and let it dry.

Clean up –

As the last step, do not forget to clean up the mess. You can use spirits or mild dish soaps to get the paint off your brushes instead of using hot water.

Interesting, isn’t it? You can make your own design and implement it personally with just the equipment you need. Keep these steps in mind, invest some hours, and unleash your creativity to watch your house transform into aesthetic heaven!
