After the dark blue paint has dried, precisely mark the exact height for the top line of the stripe. You can do this by using a tape measure to mark the desired height from the floor at several points around the room. An alternative, more precise method, is to use a laser level. A laser level (which can be rented from rental stores like Tate's in Boise, Idaho) projects a perfectly straight, continuous line around the room, which can then be directly taped over.

Tools and materials

  • Laser Level — Projecting a perfectly straight line for marking

  • Tape Measure — Measuring the precise height of the stripe
