“After a long period of using white in decor, I wanted to introduce dark colors to the bedroom. Since the bedroom is small, just one painted effect wall was enough. The most uniform walls, with the fewest possible enclosures, sockets and other building technology features are the best choice for an effect wall. A dark yet calm and down-to-earth color scheme is relaxing, turning the bedroom into a cozy nest.” says Susanna Vento.
The wall was painted using Harmony-interior paint, in shade L487 Mole. Give an old, worn cane screen a new lease of life with the Mole shade of matt Helmi-furniture paint. The nightstand was painted in a dark blue with the shade Denim N429.

1. Clean any dirt away from the wall surface and use masking tape to mark out the areas to be painted.
2. Paint the wall using two coats of Tikkurila’s full-matt Harmony-interior paint in shade Mole. For an even result, use an extension rod and plenty of paint. Finish the surface with long upward strokes using a roller.
