2 Tone Paint Walls Ideas for Modern Home Interiors

Are you looking for additional depth and a different kind of Style for the inside of your home? Trying new two-tone painting techniques is an attractive way to breathe new life into your surroundings. With the right tools and a clearly defined plan, you can execute a professional looking two-tone wall finish in your home! Use this three-stage guide to make beautiful two-tone paint walls easily.


Tools Needed to Create Two-Tone Paint Walls:


Before you begin, assemble all the necessary equipment needed to create dual tone paint walls:


● Two cans of paint colours of your choice

● Roller

● Paint Tray

● Measuring Tape

● Pencil

● String Ball

● Chalk Board

● Masking Tape

● Paint Brushes

● Scissors


Having everything on hand will make for a more effective and mess-free application of paint on your new two-tone walls.


Step 1: Mark and Measure the Wall Surface


Decide where the intersection of the two painted colours will be on your wall and mark the height of that point on the surface of the wall at regular intervals using a measuring tape and pencil. Accurate measurements are important for the application of clean lines between two-tone paint colours.


Step 2: Apply the lighter-tone colour first


When painting two-tone walls, always begin with your lighter colour. You will use a roller to paint the upper section of the wall with the lighter hue, where it will serve as a base for the second darker colour.


Step 3: Create a Chalk Line for the Split


To mark the split between your dual tone paint colours, run a string along a piece of chalk so it becomes coated. Stretch the string across the wall, aligning it with the pencil marks. Secure it with masking tape, check it’s straight, and gently snap the string to leave a clean chalk line.


4. Conceal the Divide


After allowing the first coat to dry completely, place the masking tape along the made chalk line for this crucial step. The use of masking tape is what creates a sharp, professional appearance for your 2 tone painted walls. 


5. Paint the Bottom Portion


Now, using the darker coloured paint, and your roller and brush, paint the bottom portion of the wall with the darker coloured paint. Use your brush to carefully paint the edge of the masking tape. By using a roller and brush in conjunction, you will achieve maximum coverage of the surface area without any gaps. 


6. Reveal Your 2 Tone Painted Wall 


As soon as you have painted both sides, carefully remove the masking tape while the paint is still wet. This will product sharply defined lines creating a perfectly finished dual-tone painted wall. 


Choosing the Right Colour for Your Dual Tone Walls


If you are not sure about what colours to choose for your dual-tone painted walls, try visualising the colours prior to painting by using a visualiser application like the ICI Dulux Visualiser app that allows you to see how colours will look on your walls before you paint them. 


Conclusion: 


Dual-tone painted walls are an affordable yet stylish way to add warmth and personality to your interior spaces. Dual-tone paint designs enhance the look of your room with character, depth, and elegance either through soft contrast of colours or through bold combinations.

Enhance Natural Tones with Gentle Cream

Add a soft cream hue to uplift earthy tones. Earthy colours bring to mind a peaceful autumnal stroll with a sense of grounding and belonging. But without a hint of brightness, these colours could seem overpowering. The ideal solution is provided by soft cream tones , which are similar to sunshine peeking through foliage or the foam on top of a café. They add delicate contrasts that give any area vitality. Tiny touches of cream The subtlety of cream is its beauty. Little changes can make a big impression, like a soft blanket over a terracotta sofa or a creamy linen tablecloth on a dark hardwood dining table. Picture the gentle flickering light of cream candles on a mantlepiece set against an earthy palette of browns and greens. A house becomes a sanctuary because of these little things.
