Color blocking is a technique that involves pairing two or more contrasting colors together, creating visually striking combinations. Think of it as pairing a punchy red with a calming blue or a mint green with a deep espresso brown—a juxtaposition that creates a remarkable and eye-catching effect.

This technique isn't new; in fact, it’s been a staple in design for several years, but more recently, it has become a prevailing trend in home decor. And it's clear why—it’s a fantastic way to add a bit of zest to your home!

Choose two colors that contrast yet complement your room's color scheme. Using painter's tape and a level, map out desired shapes on your accent wall. You can use a simple rectangle like this gal, or you can get more creative.

Some folks opt for less square shapes, like a faux arch for a plant corner. Or, you can get really funky and use a squiggle shape for a real statement.

Proceed to paint the blocked out portions. The key here is patience—each color may require a couple of coats and drying time in between!

Ultimately, you'll be left with a sensational gallery wall that gives your room a fresh new vibe—and your photos and art will be perfectly spotlighted.

Choose colors that match your personality, fit your existing color scheme, or perhaps just something you've always loved. There's no wrong way to do this!
