Painting a Chevron Pattern on Sloped Ceilings/Walls

I was looking for inspiration for painting my office/guest room which has sloped ceilings. I found a lot of varying info on whether I should paint the slops the wall colour or ceiling colour and I couldn't find many images of people who'd tried to paint patterns. So I thought I would share my project.

Step 1: Chevron on Sloped Ceiling Walls

These guidelines will apply to any sort of wall. I just couldn't find any examples on a sloped ceiling when I was looking for painting inspiration and wanted to share how my project turned out.

While the chevron is pretty well gridded and square, because of the sloped ceiling, it looks a little twisted from different angles. I don't mind this look but it's something to consider about how it will work for you.

Step 2: Draw Your Grid

You can draw your grid onto the wall in pencil or I used yard and tape so I wouldn't have to use eraser afterwards. The less amount/bigger your squares, the more chevrons you will have. I used a 4x4 grid for my large chevron.

Step 3: Tape Your Lines

Tape from bottom corner to opposite top corner of your square and then vise versa. Keep your tape lines as straight as can be. Use a ruler to double check when you can.

Step 4: To Avoid Your New Colour From Bleeding Under the Tape, Use a Brush and Run Your Main Wall Colour Along Your Tape Lines

I believe this trick really made a difference in my lines and I wish I had learnt it earlier for previous painting projects.

Thanks to Greyson and Sharrah of Love Your Life for sharing this tip in their Chevron tutorial.
