I decided to paint stripes in my hallway. Because the ones in my guest bathroom just weren’t enough. You can see that post here. 🙂 I already had a gallery wall and loved it, but I love what new paint can do to a room. Are you with me on this ladies? 🙂 So I thought, let’s paint stripes on the gallery wall. See my dining room striped wall here.

This time I chose two different paint colors. Desert Fortress and Lyndhurst Timber from Lowe’s. I’m seriously loving both theses colors!
How To Paint Wall Stripes
- Start by measuring the wall from top to bottom a decide how wide you want your stripes. I did 12″ stripes.
- Use a yardstick to draw your line with a pencil.
- Tape the lines with Frog Tape. Trust me, get this kind of tape.
- Put pieces of tape on the wall area you Do Not want to be painted. This was so helpful!
- Use a roller brush to paint the stripes.
- Remove the tape after each stripe is painted. It will be wet. Do not let the paint dry before removing the tape. I felt this helped get the perfect stripe. (Just my opinion)
- If you are painting a second color wait a day before tapping on the newly painted areas.
Now I am love with my striped gallery wall. I wanted to share where I bought my things from.

Love it! The colors are perfect!!
Thank you! I think so too!! And thanks for stopping by! 🙂
The stripes look great! I wish I had the patience to take on this type of project. I just think all the measuring and line drawing would drive me up the wall (no pun intended)! Not only do your stripes look great, but you did a great job hanging all the artwork level…I am sure my stripes or my artwork would look askew! Nice job!
Oh you are too sweet!! Thank you!! My hubby helped a lot with drawing the lines. And when I say help I mean he did it. lol Team work. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
What a beautiful transformation! It was nice before the stripes but is very elegant now!!!
Oh thank you!! You are so sweet! I love the way it turned out! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you Christine!! I am in love with the colors too!!
I absolutely love this! I am going to do this in my hallway! It adds a touch of elegance, I am going to paint my living room the darker color. Thank you for sharing this! It makes a statement without being overpowering. Thanks again!
Thank you so much Lisa!! I am so glad you will be doing your wall. It really makes a huge difference as I am sure you can see from my before and after pictures. I’m so glad to help! 😉
