A bright DIY wall decoration idea

Turn a creative wall decoration into an original piece of art for your home

Colours inspired by nature are very much in at the moment. For example, light and dark shades of green together with a strong, deep yellow will brighten your mood and make an interesting combination for creative wall decor. The recent addition to the edding permanent spray range is the perfect answer to this latest trend: vibrant amber. Amber is a natural substance which has a calming effect; it feels warm and sensuous to the touch and symbolises the joy of living. Add splashes of vibrant amber to your living room to create a positive and harmonious ambience and team it with moss green for a beautiful contrast. We used these gorgeous natural shades to create this bold wall decor which would make a really eye-catching feature for the home. The floor lamp has an amber-coloured beam of light that can never be switched off – a unique piece of wall art that’s easy for DIYers.

Step-by-step

Step 1

To prepare the two wooden panels, cover completely with universal primer spray and leave to dry thoroughly. Next, spray the larger panel all over in mild mint. We recommend holding the can at a distance of 25 cm and using horizontal and vertical strokes to ensure a more even coverage. For the essentials on working with edding Permanent Spray, go to our Spray basics. Leave to dry for approx. 30 mins.

Step 2

To spray a section of the smaller panel in moss green, use masking film to carefully cover the area you don’t want painted. Leave to dry.

Step 3

When everything is completely dry, arrange the two wooden panels the way you want them to look when mounted on the wall. Mark the position of the yellow “light beam” on the wooden panel with masking tape and, again, cover any areas that you want to remain paint-free.

Step 4

Now you can get cracking with the vibrant amber paint. As before, hold the can at a distance of 25 cm. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

Step 5

Place the lamp so that it appears to throw a yellow “beam” across your wall design. To make your artwork look even more amazing, you could even paint the actual lamp in vibrant amber to match.
