Thank you for the reply. Really informative video but didn’t really help with my situation ☹️  Attaching some more reference pics. I tried drawing a line and getting a structure using loft but it isn’t smooth. Also no idea on how to get two shades- black on top and white below.

It looks like just applying a bitmap with a Unwrap UVW modifier might do if you only want an image on the walls.

If the previous suggestion did not work out then maybe you could try to actually create the lines and connect them on the walls themselves then select the lines and then use the 'create shape from selection' option in editable poly. try it with a duplicate object to see if it works out, this way you can the exact shape on the walls and be able to aline t perfectly since the objects pivot will be the same.
