Step 4 – Before you start painting the wall, cover the floor and other furniture items with old newspapers or cloth to avoid any kind of drippage and spray stains. 

Step 5 – Wear the gloves and masks, and start painting using the color spray cans. Prime and paint your accent wall with a base colour first and then move onto applying other colours. 

Step 6 – Keep completing the geometric wall pattern one section at a time. 

Step 7 – Once the first coat of paint is still drying off, apply the second coat to cover any kind of inconsistencies and unfinished lines. It will create a bolder and vivid look.
