I can&#8217;t wait to share these 7 simple steps to creating fabric color blocks for your walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sketch out the Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to sketch out your room. Next, decide what wall will be the focal point of the room and draw out a rough placement for your four color blocks. Finally, determine the size for each block and write it down on your sketch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/color-blocking?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=colorblocking&amp;utm_content=colorblockingphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step1-687x320-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"The first step to create your color block is to sketch out the room | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step1-687x320-1-1.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step1-687x320-1-1-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choosing a Color Palette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by determining the colors for your walls and then choose your accents. The main wall where the color blocks are positioned will be the focal point of the room and should feature the strongest color. Next, chose the colors for your blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/color-blocking?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=colorblocking&amp;utm_content=colorblockingphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step2-687x320-1.jpg\" alt=\"Chose a color palette for your color blocks | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step2-687x320-1.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step2-687x320-1-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip &#8211; Use paint swatches from a local hardware store to create your color palette.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Purchasing Fabric and Wood Supplies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Select your fabrics and wood for the frames and wood screws. Don\u2019t forget to bring your sketch with you as you\u2019ll need to know how much wood and fabric to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/color-blocking?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=colorblocking&amp;utm_content=colorblockingphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step3-687x320-1.jpg\" alt=\"Purchase fabric and wood supplies for your color blocking | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step3-687x320-1.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step3-687x320-1-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip &#8211; For extra support, buy corner braces.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Cut Wood to Size<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure twice, cut once! A circular saw will make the cleanest and quickest cuts, but a hand saw will work as well. Once you have made your cuts for each block, place the four pieces for each block in separate piles to stay organized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/color-blocking?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=colorblocking&amp;utm_content=colorblockingphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step4-687x320-2.jpg\" alt=\"Cut the wood to size | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step4-687x320-2.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step4-687x320-2-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip &#8211; Number the pieces.

Assemble the Wooden Frames<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the biggest block and work your way through the other blocks in descending order. Begin with the A and B pieces. Place the edges together to form a 90-degree angle. Secure two screws into the frame by drilling through the A piece into the B piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/shop-the-look\/details\/color-blocking?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=colorblocking&amp;utm_content=colorblockingphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"687\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step5-687x320-1.jpg\" alt=\"Assemble the wood frames | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step5-687x320-1.jpg 687w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/step5-687x320-1-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Pro Tip &#8211; Drill pilot holes before inserting screws to ensure the wood won&#8217;t split.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.

Next, secure fabric to the C piece. Then take the fabric from the corner of the B piece and fold over the corner of the C piece and secure with a staple.
