You are planning to do some work around the house and you have decided to put giving a new look to your walls at the top of the list ... but with so many options what should you choose?

If you are not interested in the traditional styles, or maybe the room to be revived is that of a child, you can think of considering the project created by the curator of the blog Homeology, Germarie Bruwer.

In fact, with Bruwer's project, you can opt for ultra-colored walls obtained with a simple technique! Just let the paint slide down the wall, not with the help of a paintbrush but with a syringe (after removing the needle!).

Before proceeding with the painting, consider the need to whitewash the wall that will be used and remember to protect the floor by placing newspapers and/or plastic sheets on the floor.

Choose the color to start with, fill a syringe and start pressing without pushing the plunger completely so as to check how much color is actually needed to make the color stripe the desired length.
