HGTV Stars Paint Stripes

“This classic, preppy stripe reminds me of the awning I had on my store for years. The navy mixes perfectly with upbeat colors and playful dots in a kid’s room.” Paint: (blue) Sailboat and (white) Snow Fall, both by Behr

After painting the entire wall white, tape off stripes that are 1 inch wide and 6 inches wide, following the pattern shown. Fill in the stripes with blue paint. Click here for complete instructions on this look.

“Stripes ranging from light to dark give a space amazing energy. And they’re a cinch to paint—even in a bathroom.” Selecting five happy-together colors is totally foolproof—just pick from the same paint strip. Paint: (from top) Gratifying Green, Bonsai Tint, Haven, Dill, and Greenfield, all by Sherwin-Williams

Starting from the ceiling, tape off and paint one horizontal stripe at a time. Use five colors from the same paint strip to get an ombré effect, painting the lightest color at the top. Click here for complete instructions on this look.
