Wonder Walls

Wallpaper may be desirable, but it can be expensive, difficult to install, and damaging to the wall upon removal. Street art and graffiti might seem unattainable, but everyone has an interior wall they can paint. Wall painting offers a way to achieve these modern design effects in the home, and it can be accessible to everyone - even those who don't consider themselves artists. This bright and colorful book from the creators of Pandr Design Co. features DIY how-to wall painting techniques that will help readers discover the possibilities of paint and see their walls as their canvas.

Authors Phoebe Cornog and Roxy Prima take readers through wall preparation and paint selection and then teach how to achieve different techniques step by step, from marbling to sponging to geometric design to lettering and more. They address tips, tricks, and troubleshooting and help readers customize their home - without breaking a sweat or breaking the bank. For fans of interior design or anyone seeking to bring color into their home and make their space unique, this book will spark the imagination, feed creativity, and deliver the confidence to do it themselves.

All you need is a bit of creativity and a small investment in paint and supplies. Designers Phoebe Cornog and Roxy Prima are here to guide you through every step of the process: selecting the right tools, choosing colors and patterns to create the effect you want, sketching your design, prepping and priming your walls, and applying your paint for high-quality results.

Create your own masterpieces or choose from one of 26 original designs, including bold geometrics, rich textures, delicate florals, lettering, muted gradients, and more. Why, Hello There!
