box-sizing: border-box;
height: 40vh;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
padding: 20px;
}

.slanted:before {

transform: skewY(2deg);
position: absolute;

right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}

.slanted:after {
content: "";
background: red;
height: 40px;
transform: skewY(1deg);
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}

.slanted:before{    
top: -20px;    
}

.slanted:after {
bottom: -30px;
}

HTML

<div class="slanted">
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Perspiciatis et    debitis pariatur perferendis adipisci doloribus aspernatur ea quo illum a.</p>

Solution

  • Simply change skewY for .slanted:after to a negative number and adjust the height accordingly (numbers below just an example - adjust to how you want it):

    .slanted:after {
    content: "";
    background: red;
    height: 80px;
    transform: skewY(-5deg);
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    z-index: -1;
}
