I’ve been seeing half painted (or 3/4 painted) rooms lately on Pinterest and I’m really inspired by them! It’s a cheaper option to wainscoting, but gives a similar and colorful look. And I kind of love the color on the bottom of the wall and then white on the top. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this in our bedroom. What do you all think? Do you like the look of half painted rooms?

July 2, 2014 at 4:53 pmI really love this look, especially the aqua and white room with the aqua paint carrying over onto the door. I say go for it!

July 3, 2014 at 2:05 pmI think I will!! Painting the door seems so different, but since we eventually want to replace our doors, maybe I should just do that too, ahha!

July 2, 2014 at 5:12 pmI did this 4 years ago in our first home in every living space except for the kitchen. Not only was it super easy, it was unique, artful and provided visual interest to the whole wall. I love the idea of using it in a nursery, might have to try it again in our new home!

July 3, 2014 at 2:06 pmAny tips on making a straight line? I guess, just measuring and taping off. Maybe using a leveler?

July 3, 2014 at 2:08 pmYou’re right! And now wallpaper is becoming so popular again, but it really is such a pain to get off the wall. I like that you can just easily paint over this if it didn’t turn out right! 🙂
