@Steve758

You can also convert your lines into a LivePaint object and use the LivePaint fill tool to color them.

Draw your grid flat and create a pattern.


Create a rectangle
Choose Object > Path > Split Into Grid... To define the number of sections.
Fill your sections with whatever colors you want
Select the entire grid and drag it to the Swatch Panel to create a pattern.
Draw another rectangle which will be your wall (just draw a straight rectangle)
Fill the new rectangle with your new pattern
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh
Enter 1 row and 1 column for the mesh and hit OK.
Select the Free Transform Tool
Click a corner handle THEN hold down the Command/Ctrl+Option/Alt+Shift keys and drag to create the perspective appearance.
Move your new pattern filled wall into place.




Adding the Envelope mesh allows the pattern to distort along with the encompassing rectangle. Without the envelope you'll get a distorted rectangle but the pattern within will still be square and flat.

Note: You could also use the perspective grid rather than the Free Transform Tool.
