Painted arches  murals are having a moment right now and are versatile enough to be incorporated into any room. Use them as a focal point  to help a space feel relaxed or bring visual interest to a room. Carefully chose where you want your arch to go as all eyes will be on it upon entering a room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the arch design in this project, we chose colors from the BEHR\u00ae Color Trends 2022 Palette<\/a>. The combination of colors is a soothing harmony and provides a sense of warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Angled Paint Brush<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint Tray and Liner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Create Base of Arch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a pencil draw vertical lines to indicate the base width of the arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2 – Create Curve of Arch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measure a piece of string to half the width of the arch base, allow extra string to attach a pencil. Tape one edge of string in the center, between the horizontal lines, top area. While keeping the string tight, use the pencil attached to draw the curved part of the arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3 – Paint Arch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use painters tape along the straight areas to prevent from painting outside the lines. For the curved areas, a small angled brush is helpful to use around the inside edges to create a thick boarder before filling in. Use a roller for larger areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
