Color blocking walls: 21 clever ideas to add shape and style

Color blocking walls is a key way to add in depth, interest and of course, color into your home with paint. Unlike wallpaper, color blocking gives your the freedom to design your space exactly as you want it. You choose every color, every shape and every angle, so the look is always personal and bespoke. 

And if you're sat there thinking you don't even know how to paint a room and you don't have the steady hands for such an artistic feat, think again... With the help of some essential masking tape, a ruler and a pencil, all of these ideas are easy enough for even the most novice of DIYers. 

So from colorful kids bedroom ideas, to ways to revamp your panelling and add some organic shapes into your home, we've compiled the best ideas so you can get inspired.
