Skill level: Easy Time: 1–2 hours (not including drying time) Color used: Dark gray Want an easy way to spruce up your place? Paint a few palm leaves. <p><i>This wall painting how-to is excerpted with permission from <a href="https://amzn.to/3JuRS7o">"Wonder Walls: How to Transform Your Space with Colorful Geometrics, Graphic Lettering, and Other Fabulous Paint Techniques"</a> by Roxy Prima and Phobe Cornog.</i> This design is a great way to bring foliage into your home if you don’t have a green thumb. We used gray to keep the look more subtle, but feel free to be bold and add color. This super-simple project won’t take you hours to complete, but it certainly takes your space up a few notches! We almost always prefer to use white chalk because it can be easily wiped off after painting. Pencil marks are more difficult to get rid of since you either need to erase or paint over them. In our case, our wall background was light gray, so the white chalk was visible. Our design includes about six groups of palm leaves, but depending on the size of your wall, you can add more or use fewer.
