f your walls could talk, what would the paint
color say about you? You’re bold? Calm?
Sophisticated? Whatever the answer would be,
painting a wall multiple colors is an affordable, yet
impactful, way to uniquely express your personality.
A two-toned wall is an interior design technique
that utilizes two paint colors on the same wall,
allowing you to express your individual style and
add dimension to a flat surface. No matter your
comfort or skill level, follow these steps to achieve
professional-level results and showcase your creativity.
• Prepare to paint: To get ready for painting,
gather all necessary supplies, like a drop cloth, primer,
a paintbrush, a roller and painter’s tape. Remove as
much furniture as possible, covering any large items
with a tarp. Using a sponge, wipe the walls with warm
soapy water, then repair any cracks or holes with
putty and sand the surface smooth. If you’re painting
over a dark color, apply a primer as a base coat to
ensure an even foundation.
• Measure and mark: To create a dynamic color-
blocking effect on your walls, start by determining
where the colors will meet and mark the spot with
a pencil or chalk, using a straight edge for precision.
Color blocking can be executed horizontally or
vertically, or with additional creative options like
diagonals or geometric patterns.
• Apply painter’s tape: Regardless of your chosen

approach, using painter’s tape, such as FrogTape
brand painter’s tape, is essential for achieving clean
lines. Apply the tape along the marked line to create
sharp edges where each color begins and ends. Use a
firm plastic tool to eliminate gaps and seal edges.
• Paint the light color: To achieve full coverage,
apply the light base color one coat at a time, starting
by “cutting in” along the tape with a paintbrush and
then using a roller to fill in the rest of the section.
Allow each coat to dry before applying the next, using
as many coats as needed for the desired look.
• Paint the dark color: After completing the light
color, repeat the painting process by cutting in along
the tape with small brush strokes and using a roller to
fill in the rest of the section. Keep adding coats until
you achieve the finished product you have in mind.
• Remove the painter’s tape: For best results,
remove the tape while the paint is still wet, pulling
slowly at a 45-degree angle to reveal a room that pops
with personality.
Two-tone walls can transform a space to reflect
your style with just a simple change. With the right
supplies, techniques and color selections, you can
create a look that you’re proud of, regardless of your
skill level.
