I am decorating my sons room in a camouflage theme. I want to paint 1 wall with a camo pattern. Need guidance

Question

I do not know where to start.

The room has hardwood floors, and I am not sure what color I should paint the other three walls, I was thinking tan.

Answer 1

I am so happy that I know the answer to this..... Maybe I will get the points!!!
Buy 3 colors of paint... a dark, medium and light tone.. for instance get cammo green, medium brown and light tan. Then take an old cotten rag... like a cut up sheet and roll the rag in the darkest color first and just roll the rag all over the walls. When it dries, do the same thing for the brown and let it dry and last take a sponge or one of those things you use in the shower and just sponge the lightest color on last. I would do all the walls like this and paint the ceiling in one of the solid colors.... good luck!

Answer 2

You may consider using a mural instead of paint. A mural goes on like wallpaper and is much more attractive than paint. I'd reccomend doing the tan color for one wall, dark green for two walls, and a mural for the fourth (across from the tan wall. This will add depth to the room. Or you can mural or wallpaper the entire room!

Answer 3

Get a sample of the camo you want - is it drab green or desert tan? Take the same to the paint store and ask them to color match the three colors in the fabric. You'll only need a quart of each. I would use a lighter shade of one of the colors for the rest of your walls. Draw out the different shapes on the wall, and paint them! Have fun!

Answer 4

I agree that tan would be great. But, if you paint three walls tan, then the fourth wall should be tan with the other 2 camo colors (so deep green and brown blotches.) This is a really cool idea that I wouldn't have thought of! Have fun with it!
