Transform magnolia walls into a stylish focal feature using only masking tape and tester pot paint
-
Change up your home décor with this clever hack. To create this faux wallpaper effect and give a room a new look, all you need is masking tape and tester pot paints. It’s quick, easy and ideal if you’re in a rental property – if you move out (or just fancy a change) simply remove the tape!
1 Remove any shelves and picture fittings from the wall and wipe it down with warm water. Allow it to dry completely, preferably overnight, otherwise the masking tape might not stick to the wall.
