15 Amazing DIY Sharpie Walls

If you’d like to try out a bold accent wall but can’t commit to a design, there’s an easy and inexpensive way to take the plunge.  Sharpies!  Wall paper is a great option for maximum impact, but it can be extremely pricey – and what if you fall out of love with the design in a year or two?  Taping off and painting designs can be time consuming and run you a pretty penny too, depending on the paint you choose.  Sharpie paint pens offer the best solution!  You can go bold or simple, geometric or floral, whimsical or traditional – all with the flick of your wrist.  Plus, a paint pen – while permanent – is easy to paint over (especially if you use water-based instead of oil-based pens).  People have done amazing things to their homes with sharpies, and here are 15 of our favorite DIY sharpie walls to inspire you.

15 Amazing DIY Sharpie Walls

Woodland Accents // The Quietest Noise

This sharpie feature is confined to the area around the doorway, so it doesn’t overpower the small nursery.  In a charming blue color, it’s the perfect way to brighten up a baby’s room.

 

Ikea Fabric Inspired Flowers and Birds // Owen’s Olivia

Instead of covering the wall with fabric, you can use an overhead projector and the pattern on the fabric to trace and create a customized look.

 

Giant Floral // Cheryl Heap

A giant floral mural may not be for everyone, but this is one way to embrace a bold statement and make a huge impact.

 

Gold Flowers on Black // All The Trees of the Field

Try gold flowers on a black background for a glamorous twist.

 

Permanent Frames // Art Wall

Filling an entire wall with sharpie frames is whimsical and fun, plus makes a great spot to hang artwork – especially from the kids!

 

Gold Herringbone // 4 Men 1 Lady

A herringbone pattern is classic and timeless.

 

Gold Diagonals // Cuckoo 4 Design

Diagonal stripes that meet at the corner of a small room give a nice punch to the space.

 

Gold Arrows // DIY Show Off

These arrows are a subtle nod to the boho/tribal trend without being over the top.

 

Sharpie Shiplap // Clover Lane Blog

Want shiplap but can’t bear the though of nailing boards all over your walls?  Sharpie!

 

Gold Diamonds // Vintage Revivals

These gold diamonds add a 3-D detail that makes them pop like crazy.  They’re cool and effortless.

 

Lines and Diamonds // The Bold Abode

Lines and diamonds combine for this clean and simple geometric pattern.

 

Gold Scallops // Classy Clutter

Scallops are a softer alternative to crisp angles and lines.

 

Overlapping Circles // All Things With Purpose

Overlapping circles can create a striking pattern.  Using a light sharpie on darker walls is a great twist on the sharpie trend.

 

Bold Angles and Stripes // Two Thirty Five Designs

The bold angles and stripes are done in mostly black with just a bit of silver and gold thrown in.  The result is amazingly bold and perfect for a teen or tweens room.

 

 

Bold Geometric // A Beautiful Mess

Using a template made out of cardboard, you can create a bold geometric, repeating pattern like this one – which is a little southwest in feel and oh so perfect.
