As far as geometrics go, stripes are one of the most classic, and handiest, shapes to use to transform a wall, a tray, a floor and even a ceiling. You can go for wide even stripes, horizontally or vertically, for a striking feature wall. Or use random-width stripes for a more complex and colourful look. Low-tack masking tape will be your most- used tool when creating stripes. For larger areas, like feature walls, use a plumbline for vertical stripes and a level for horizontal ones to make sure your stripes are straight. A good technique is to use a batten of timber, marked at your chosen intervals, as a guide, rather than ruling and marking at various places on the wall. stripes Resene Alabaster Resene Half Milk White Resene Knock Out Resene Onepoto Resene Dust Storm Resene New Denim Blue Resene Dusted Blue From far left: Hallway ceiling in Resene Onepoto, Resene Dust Storm, Resene Knock Out, Resene Alabaster.
