As it’s the start of a new year how about creating a new
look for 2015? If it’s been a while since you changed the colours and theme in
your home why not try using stencils to give a fresh new feel? This is a great
time of year to start preparing for a makeover and the only limit is your
imagination.
Stencils and paints can be a great alternative to wallpapers
giving so much more flexibility on colours and design and so allowing a much
more personal touch for your décor.
There's no limit to
where you can use stencilling in your home. Add a feature wall in your living
room, dining room or bedroom. Try a stencilled border in your kitchen, or a
frieze of animals
and clowns in the nursery? If you have stripped floorboards,
stencilling an edge border or a repeat pattern wall-to-wall can add a whole new
feel to a room.
We have everything from traditional damask wallpaper
stencils to modern and retro designs; animal prints to flowers and
butterflies, and will be adding more to our website in the coming months. Many of
our standard designs are available in various sizes to suit your space.
Repeating patterns don’t
have to stretch across an entire wall. Try using small sections on kitchen and
bathroom walls to create a tiled effect. A geometric design can be repeated as
a straight side-by-side pattern, some may work well offset or even overlapped
to give a more random effect. A stand alone image can bring a little something
different to your home. Whether it's flowers, birds or cute animals for a
children’s room, stencils can make your rooms unique. Our lemon
tree stencil for example would look great in a kitchen or hallway as
it brings a natural feel in your home.
One of the great things about stencils is that you can use
them in your own choice of colours, either for a completely new look or to
match existing furnishings. Whatever the atmosphere you want to achieve for
your home you can use a combination of bright bold colours or muted pastel
shades to create your perfect décor. There’s nothing stopping you from breaking
the sequence with different shades or go all out and use a different colour for
each shape.
Complement your decorative stencilling with a few
accessories for that finishing touch, for example use the same stencil pattern
on cushions using fabric paint, or a different design but with matching or
harmonising colours.
For something unique and personal why not design your own
stencil to make your decorating reflect your personality? We can cut your custom
design allowing you to use your own patterns, shapes, images or wording
throughout your home.

year, check out our range of Stencils,
