Paint A Bedroom Camo

If your children love the military and everything related to that subject, giving them a camouflage room is exactly what they need. Before anything else, you need to focus on the walls. Painting simple camo in the room is not as difficult as it may sound. With several different colors to choose from, you cannot only focus on the design itself, but on the colors your children are inspired by and love.


Instructions








1. Choose which colors you are going to use for the camouflage design. You can stay within original camo colors, like different green hues and browns. If the room is for a girl, pick a darker purple color and lighter shades of pink and grey.


2. Using your stepladder, tape off the top of the walls where they meet the ceiling. Unless you want an entire room of camouflage, you will need the tape as a guideline that signals when you have reached the top.








3. Paint the walls of the bedroom in all one color. Choose the lightest color that you will be using in order to give the room a solid base coat before painting the camouflage.


4. Stencil on your own camouflage shapes with a pencil. The whole point of camouflage is to blend in and have no clear shape, so feel free to be creative with the sizes and shapes of your design.


5. Paint within the stenciled shapes, and vary the colors so no two shapes are touching with the same color.
