DIY Mudcloth Accent Wall
Mudcloth Pattern
I’ve been seeing mudcloth everywhere lately in home decor–pillows, art, wallpaper, you name it. It’s usually a simple pattern in neutral colors, so it’s pretty easy to work a little boho flair into your home. A DIY mudcloth accent wall is an easy project you can complete to get the look of wallpaper at a fraction of the cost.
After starting our laundry room makeover and faux shiplap wall, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw Simple Life Pastor’s Wife stenciling her hallway in this cool, modern chevron brushstroke pattern. She ordered the stencil at Cutting Edge Stencils, so naturally, I spent the next two hours trying to decide which would work best for my project. I love the look of wallpaper, but hate the idea of having to remove it when I’m tired of it.
Budget Constraints
I woke up super set on having a patterned accent wall for the laundry room. Since I had just completed the painting and shiplap wall, I really hated to spend more money on a stencil that would likely be used for only one project. (I also have another project in my mind I’d like to keep some money back for. See, my wheels are always turning!) I decided I would just paint a pattern myself, since it was a small area, and I already had the paint, anyway, so it wasn’t any extra cost. The stencils are large, so I think they’d be more ideal for using on a larger scale wall.
I’m still eyeing a couple stencils and would definitely recommend using one for a larger wall. Not everyone is comfortable painting patterns on their walls, and it’s a perfect solution for that.
