   Stencils are old-fashioned. Just paint the walls a solid color. Then after they dry, go back with painters tape and make designs or stripes on the wall in nice geometric patterns with the second paint color.

   Here’s a nice look with step-by-step directions:

   Also, you can paint 3 walls one color and use the second color as an accent wall on the fourth. Here’s a cool technique: This procedure can be sloppy: in addition to masking off the adjoining walls and ceiling, securely mask baseboards with plastic to prevent leakage. Use a roller to apply a heavy coat of paint to a section of the wall, press a large piece of plastic to the surface, crinkles and all then peel the plastic away (picture:http://img.diynetwork.com/DIY/2003/09/18/d136_6fa_e.jpg) .

   how about painting the lighter of the two colors on the top half, darker on bottom half and pick three coordinating colors to stencil along the line between paint colors…use a laser level on tripod and blue painters tape to mask for line.
