Create New Look for Traditional Tile Walls

                                                                            Create New Look for Traditional Tile Walls


As everyone know that tiles are more and more popular in home interior, no matter the ordinary tiles, or the gorgeous tiles. The reason is simple that tiled walls have a great look that turns an ordinary wall into a focal point for the living room, bedroom, bathroom, or even kitchen. However, installing tile is often a complicated job, involving several days of work. You must clean the wall, lay the grout or tile adhesive, arrange the tiles, and add more grout over the design. Using paint in place of the tile lets you recreate the look of a traditional tile wall, but with less work and hassle.
In fact, create new look of a traditional tile wall is simple, which is just with two paint colors. First is to protect the floors and any surrounding appliances or furniture with newspaper or plastic tarps. Then the following step is to paint the entire wall in a light color of paint, such as white or cream. The lighter color creates the look of grout lines between the faux tiles. Let the paint dry overnight.
The third step which is also the most difficult step that I though is to cut strips of masking tape into1/2 inch wide pieces. Place one of the strips across the bottom of the wall. Measure up 3-inches and place a second strip of tape. Add additional strips of tape every 3-inches, moving up the wall. Cover the left edge of the wall with another strip of tape. Measure across the wall every 3-inches, adding another piece of tape. Apply paint to the wall, painting over the tape lines. Once the paint dries, remove the tape. The white wall underneath mimics the look of grout lines. Make the squares bigger or smaller, depending on the size you want.
After finishing all of the steps, sitting on the floor, you will be filled with the feel of achievement. Are ready to create a new look for your traditional tile walls now? Come on! You also can make it well with the steps!
