My project is going slowly, but I finished building and painting the feature wall in my son’s new bedroom. Now I just need to install and program the LED strip along the top!
My wife got the idea to do a geometric mountain feature wall from Pinterest. I am really happy with this outcome and feel I did a better job than the influencer DIYers who did similar projects that inspired this one. Giving the mountains a 36° slope to match the roof line was a pain in the butt, but the end effect was worth it.
Thanks to everyone here who helps with thoughts on patching wall cracks and LED lighting methods. I’ll share photos of the full room once it is complete.

Looks pretty cool, not gonna lie though, the stark black paint and odd unexpected angle (as I scroll the feed on my phone) gave me major Hoise of Leaves vibes! I’d be haunted by that wall, haha

Hah! I love it. If it helps at all, the color fidelity in this photo isn’t great. The mountains are actually a non-vibrant shade of blue-green that gets turned much darker by my phone’s camera. The natural lighting today also doesn’t help with it raining outside. We specifically chose the color of the White Mountains of New Hampshire through the haze of a warm summer day.
I have found photographing this project to be especially challenging. Between the changing light throughout the day and the limits of my phone camera, it is hard to get both accurate colors and a proper impression of the texture of the wall.

Yes! I felt like I was staring down a stairwell for some reason, haha. What a triply optical illusion. It looks like solid work, though, OP!
