What You'll Need
Here’s How
Paint the wall your desired colour. Let dry.
Measure the length and height of your wall to determine the size of the largest moulding panels you can create, taking into account the spacing between them (in the example shown, the top panels are 3’ x 6’ and the bottom panels are 3’ x 1’ with 5” spacing between panels and 1’ spacing to the floor
Take the height and width of the top panel and subtract one foot from its length and height to get the measurements for the first interior panel (2’ x 5’ in the example shown), and repeat again for the final interior panel (1’ x 4’ in the example shown).
With your list of measurements for each panel, begin cutting the tops, bottoms and sides of each panel with mirrored 45° angles on each side of the screen moulding.
With all pieces cut and ready, measure up from the floor where you want the first bottom panel to begin, level the bottom moulding piece and nail into place.
Level and nail into place the left, right and top pieces to create a moulding panel.
Continue with all remaining panels, using equal spacing between them.
It is easier and faster if you paint the cut moulding before nailing onto the wall, however it can also be painted after it’s on the wall.
Here's How to get directional design. For best results always put the dark colour over the light, resulting in less labour and less paint.

What you'll needTools
mitre saw
brad nailer
paint brushes
Materials
four 4” x 4” x 8’ spruce or pine boards (not pressure-treated)
BeautiTone Designer Series paint in matte or satin (Colours used - Minty Muse CL08-0 and Diamond Mine CL52-0)
Set up a stop block 3/8” away from your mitre saw blade to make quick, repetitive cuts.
Cut 3 of the 8’ boards into 3/8” slices.
Move the stop block 3/4” away from the blade and adjust the saw for a 10-degree angle.
Cut the remaining 8’ board into larger, angled biscuits by alternating the saw blade’s angle from 10 degrees to 0 degrees so that each piece has one flat side.
Thin your paint with water at a ratio of 1:1 and paint the slices in your desired colour. For a slightly more dramatic look, paint the angled biscuits in a different colour (shown: Minty Muse CL08-0/Diamond Mine CL52-0). Let dry.
Using a brad nailer and starting your first row at floor level, pin each slice to the wall.
When you have your desired width, move up to the next row and continue until you’ve filled your space.
Dress your walls in a designer check.
An afternoon project that is so simple and delivers big results. Want a more subtle look? Paint in a monochromatic colour scheme. Desire more drama? Paint in a strong contrast like classic black and white.

Here’s How
Paint wall the base coat colour. Let dry 48 hours.
Measure and mark a square grid on the wall with a chalk line. Squares can be any size you want. The squares shown are two feet.
Tape the outside edges of every alternate square, cutting the tape with a hobby knife for a clean edge.
Use a measuring cup to mix 4 parts topcoat paint to 1 cup extender into a pail. Repeat the formula when more topcoat mixture is needed.
Wearing gloves, unwrap one roll of steel wool and wrap it around a 9.5” roller.
VERTICAL LINES: Paint one masked square with a thin coat of topcoat mixture. Immediately drag the roller wrapped with steel wool vertically in the painted square. Try to drag straight down, and repeat dragging in the square until you achieve your desired effect.
Repeat on each masked square, painting one at a time, using a new roll of steel wool for each square.
Remove tape and let dry 48 hours.
Tape off the remaining squares on the outside. (i.e., tape will be on the finished squares).
HORIZONTAL LINES: Paint the remaining squares one at a time, dragging the roller wrapped with steel wool horizontally each time. Try to drag straight across, and repeat dragging in the square until you achieve your desired effect.
Remove tape.
