Getting started DIYs by Furniture And Choice Pick a spot that will be the focal point (the first place where your eyes land when entering) of the room for your accent wall. Step 1 Hammer in the nail or pin into the wall to mark the centre of the semi-circle of the arch.
After that, hold the pencil in line with the pin and let the string guide you to create the top outline shape of the arch.
Step 3 Use a long ruler or spirit level to draw a line down on each side of the semi-circle.
