SOmething you can TRY~ :)

Simple Design for Small walls / corner.

1st Step :
You will need Masking Tapes (Tips : the cheapest, lowest quality ones are the best, coz the glue aren't that strong, it's be easier for peeling )

After you drew the lines on the wall with pencil and ruler, mask the area with masking tapes and try not to crumple them as you do, make sure the tapes are smooth.
( Tips : Don't put too much pressure on the tapes, if it's stick too tight, the base paint might come off as you peel. If the tape is crumpled, the paint will squeeze through those little gabs. That will be a mess! Do not mask exactly the pencil line, mask a bout 1 mm away from it, so as you paint, it will cover up those pencil lines )


2nd Step :
Prepare your paint and brushes.

Medium size Flat brush like this one is suitable for painting big masked area.
For smaller shapes, you can always use this type.
3rd Step :

Dip only 2/3 of your brush into the paint to avoid dripping. Then apply only 1 layer until the white space are covered. Do not reapply few layers at once, as it will soak through the masking tape and it'll be messy.After drying ( 1-2 hours ) Apply 2nd layer and it's done.

4th Step :

Wait for everythign to dry up ( 2 hours ). Carefully peel out the masking tape. One by one.Don't try to pull out few at once. And you are DONE!


Here are some really simple and nice designs that you can try.

Simple straight lines.
If your wall is small, try avoid putting too many lines.

Chess Blocks.
Try to arrange them to fit the space ( from ceiling to floor).
For this design, having them hanging half way, won't be too nice.

Big Dots.
You can cut one round cardboard from any round object in the house ( like water pail or even frying pan :D )and trace it repeatedly. The gab between the circles is important. Don't arrange them too close or too far.
Depends on the size of the circle. For this one, it's about 5 inches apart.

Strips.
This one is easy. But you have to measure everything perfectly.
Teeny Weeny yellow Polka Dots.
Cut a perfect round shape from a hard cardboard and trace it all over.
Arrange 1st row to be parallel and evenly seperate in a big gab. And then arrange the 2nd row of dots
parallel with the 1st row's gab. I hope you know what I mean. If you like, ofcoz u can try placing them randomly too.

Heavy to Light Cubes.
From big cubes on the left, slowly 'fading' to smaller cubes toward the right.
All these designs are suitable for small areas like apartments, studio house or condos. So have FUN! Remember to use Anti-Fungul and Washable paint if it's for your kitchen area.
