TradePoint - how to create a geometric wall

Are you planning a feature wall or simply looking for a way to redecorate your property? With this B&Q guide you will be able to create a modern geometric wall with ease using just Frog tape and paint.  

Here's how to get started: 

Equipment list: 

  • Paint roller 

  • Wall paint  

  • Tray 

  • Frog tape 

Start by making sure the wall is clean then, using the Frog tape, start creating your zigzag pattern in vertical lines across the wall.  

Once you are happy with your vertical zigzags take some more Frog tape and connect the zigzags horizontally.  

TOP TIP: Draw inspiration from geometric wall images online  

Now its time to paint! 

Pour your paint into the paint tray and grab your roller, cover the entire wall in a paint of your colour choice.  

TOP TIP: ensure this paint colour is contrasting to the original wall colour for a bolder geometric design.

Two coats should be enough to cover the wall.  

Once your paint has fully dried there's the fun part - peeling off the tape. 

Start from one corner and gently peel it back to reveal your geometric design.
