    Wall Paint Design Ideas with Tape that Will Completley Transform a Room

    Get huge bang for your buck using these wall paint design ideas with tape. These tutorials use paint and painter’s tape to create gorgeous patterns on your walls and furniture that you can do yourself and will leave guests in awe!

    My mind works in mysterious ways. It thinks in shapes and patterns and then says, “Can I paint that pattern on the wall with painting tape?“

    More than once, I have jumped up from the sofa and yelled for Grunt Labor to pause the television show so I can take a picture of some pattern/door/wall/what-the-freak-ever that I’ve seen and am sure I can replicate with paint and FrogTape. I’m not even kidding. I’m a freak. #freakflagflyer

    I have found patterns to replicate from doors on Scandal, wall art from Vinyl and floors from How to Get Away with Murder.

    I’m not right. But if it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.

    I haven’t tried out all my ideas just yet, but here are my favorite wall painting ideas and painting designs that I’m convinced anyone can make because if I can do it, anyone damn well can. You just need painter’s tape, paint and in some cases, a ruler (but not all, because I’m terrible at measuring).

    The closet doors in the office at our 70’s Landing Pad have become a fast favorite of mine. I love, love, love this paint design. In fact, I did a very similar version of it in our master bedroom…

    If bright green isn’t your thing, you can easily switch out that hue for another one of your liking. This paint technique is cane inspired and I only needed a quart of paint for it.

    Who knew dark colors could be so chic? Here’s another favorite. This one is such a simple wall painting idea. Essentially all I did was create a frame on my wall to showcase the art. Notice how that TV just fades away too?

    DIY Painted and Patterned Doors

    After you complete a project and you look at it and say, “Hello, lover,” you know it’s good.

    For example, “Hello, lover” doesn’t exactly fit with removing popcorn ceilings or ripping out tile. But it does fit perfectly for closet doors…when they look like these…

    Hello, lover…

    You just said it, didn’t you? I knew you would. They are totally Carrie Bradshaw / Sex and the City worthy.

    So these doors are the closet doors in my office at the 70’s Landing Pad. Yes, I said this is the 70’s Landing Pad and yes, there is a rug on the floor and a semi-styled bar cart. This is the one room that, sans furniture (besides a bar cart turned craft cart and rug), is finished.

    Did you just feel me across the world jumping up and down with glee? Because I did.

    While most of this room is all white because I’ll be using it quite a bit for photos and white backgrounds never fail me for those, I needed something to be a wow factor in here – enter flat front closet doors.

    You could practically feel the sadness radiating from them. So I fixed that.

    DIY Painted and Patterned Doors

    Materials Needed:

    Step 1

    Run FrogTape® all along the edges of each door.

    Stunning - AND she did it with paint and FrogTape! DIY Painted and Patterned Doors / Black and White Design / Black and White Decor / Interior Design

    Since this is a set of sliding closet doors, part of the door on the back is behind the front door. I just acted like that part didn’t even exist and ran the FrogTape on that door right along where the front door met the back door as shown in the photo below.

    Stunning - AND she did it with paint and FrogTape! DIY Painted and Patterned Doors / Black and White Design / Black and White Decor / Interior Design

    Step 2

    Find the center of each door and run a piece of FrogTape® right down the center.

    Step 3

    On the center piece of tape, come down 8″ and mark with a pencil. From the 8″ mark, come down 11.5″ and mark with a pencil.

    On the outer pieces of FrogTape, come down 14″ and mark with a pencil.

    Run pieces of tape diagonally as shown in the image above to make a diamond. As long as your diagonal pieces are meeting on the marks you made, they should be even.

    With the second door, the one that is slightly behind the front door, since the length of the doors didn’t change any with the measurements, only the width, I still made my vertical 8″, 11.5″ and 14″ marks. The tape strips that make up the diamonds, the 11.5″ strips, will only be slightly shorter, but you shouldn’t have to actually measure those as long as you meet up the strips on your vertical marks.

    Step 4

    Use a craft knife and ruler or other straight edge to remove the excess tape as shown on the right door below.

    Your doors will look like this when you are finished removing the excess tape:

    Step 5

    Firmly press along all edges of the FrogTape® to seal the tape against paint bleed.

    Step 6

    Paint over the doors with a small paint roller.

    I used a small paintbrush to paint around the handles.

    Step 7

    Remove the FrogTape® immediately after you paint the last coat. Do not wait for it to dry.

    Step back, and in your best Carrie Bradshaw voice say, “Hello, lover.”

    Stunning - AND she did it with paint and FrogTape! DIY Painted and Patterned Doors / Black and White Design / Black and White Decor / Interior Design

    Well done, my friend, well done.

    By far, these babies are one of my most favorite painted pattern projects. P.S. I also seem to like alliteration.
