Good friends of ours recently sold their house and moved into a beautiful downtown condo. They wanted to add some dramatic character to their master bedroom, so decided to create a 9-1/2' x 8' accent wall at the head of their bed. They asked me to help them create it.
After considering many patterns and styles, Louise and Tyler decided on a beautiful geometric design. We started measuring out the pattern and used painters tape to mark up the wall. This provided a great visual as we went along. Note - this step is critical in getting the correct design. Don't underestimate the time required to do this!
To build the pattern, we used 1" x 2" MDF board from Lowe's.
The paint colour they chose is from Benjamin Moore's Classic Color Collection (Hudson Bay, code 1680) from Preston Paint Centre in Orleans. It looks awesome!
Here are some photos from start to finish..
