Temporary wall paint?
Question:okay so my temporary room is the blandest thing ever. I love colour and my walls and off white and I just hate it. Unfortunately, sine were only gonna be here for a littel while (couple o months) i dont wanna go through the whole ordeal of painting and then having to repaint in a few months. So like, i want to paint my walls , not completely, maybe just paint little doodles all over it, does anyone know what I can paint it with so I can scrub it off when we leave? some sorta water based paints?
Answers:
I would suggest a wall border. You can cut them into pieces to make "medallions" or decals. You can also use them around windows or to frame a section of wall. Put a matching strip of it across your headboard. Border is temporary, inexpensive and can be taken down when you leave, but it wouldn't hurt to try it on something that belongs to you first.
If youre only talking little designs then plain old artists watercolours would work. It may leave a shadowy stain though.
Well you can buy the acylis paints in the craft area at Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby and those will wash off with some work. However you can also find wall decals that can just be peeled off when you leave. I would suggest those. They are really popular for childrens rooms, but they have them for other things as well. That might be better, or cover the walls with some inexpensive poster art.
Reconsider painting and consider hanging colorful bedsheets or window curtains directly on the walls. Sheets are lightweight and can be hung with pushpins.
Try getting a white sheet (or colored one you like) and fabric paints, paint up the sheet the way you like and then use a staple gun to fasten the sheet at the top and bottom. You can even create gathers, or trim it all with wood trim. Like a mural or large pic. Then it can all be torn down.
Put up with no crappy decor for 2 months.
