15 memorable Handmade Sharpie Walls

Read the sequence from the top before cutting, painting, or moving pieces.

If you’d like to try out a bold accent wall but can’t commit to a design, there’s an straightforward 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 direct, geometric or floral, whimsical or traditional – all with the flick of your wrist. Plus, a paint pen – while permanent – is straightforward to paint over (especially if you use water-based instead of oil-based pens). People have done memorable things to their homes with sharpies, and here are 15 of our go-to Handmade sharpie walls to inspire you.

15 memorable Handmade 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 well fitted 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 // Handmade 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 direct 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 well fitted for a teen or tweens room.

Bold Geometric // A striking 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 well fitted.
