Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Primer paint
- Base coat paint
- Accent paint
- Brushes
- Painter's masking tape
-
Step 1
Tape all surrounding edges and apply the primer paint. When completely dry, paint the walls with the base coat to prepare for the final accent colors.
-
Step 2
Select one or two shades of complementary colors of latex paint. Apply over completely dried walls.
-
Step 3
Use a wallpaper brush to achieve the textured effect of grass cloth. Dip the brush with a light coat of accent color and drag the brush in a vertical downward movement, covering a section from the top to the bottom of the wall.
-
Step 4
Complete the entire wall and allow it to dry. Repeat the same procedure with paint a shade lighter in the same tone. This will achieve a natural grass cloth look.
-
Step 5
Use a golden gilt glaze instead of the latex paint, for a more formal dramatic effect.
