Decorate With Minimal Cost

Personalizing your bathroom walls with stenciling is an economical way to decorate your home if you are on a budget, and who isn’t? Researchers have shown that people spend a large portion of their lives in their washrooms. Research has also shown that the mood and decoration of a bathing space can unconsciously change the disposition of those entering it, even if they don’t initially notice it. So why not express your creativity by stenciling your bath and at the same time improve the mood of those entering therein?

Adorning your walls with stencil patterns is not complicated, and can easily be done in a single afternoon. Stenciling doesn’t require anything more than creativity, paint, brushes, and the stencils you want to decorate with! If you’re not experienced and have never stenciled before, then we recommend getting some cardboard, to practice on, before actually starting the project.

Before you begin to design a luxurious and interesting lavatory wall with stencils you need to come up with some simple patterns you can incorporate into your room’s design, we recommend getting a pen and paper to doodle with so you don’t forget any of your good stenciling design ideas you come up with for your bath!

Get Your Cues From Other Bath Elements

Look around your present grooming space and try to incorporate some of the shapes, patterns and colors of your fixtures and décor into your preliminary design ideas so there is some form of consistency in your design elements. If you don’t have any good stencil wall ideas or if you’re not confident in your design concepts then you can always buy pre-made stencil templates for interior walls. You will find these cut out patterns in most home improvement stores, and you will have plenty of design solutions to choose from.

Another option would be to get “Debbie Travis’ Decorating Solutions” it is a phenomenal book, with more than 65 paint and plaster faux finishes for every room in your home and is sure to inspire and motivate you to decorate your walls. So once you’ve picked your favorite cut-out template, or designed something you’re happy with, you can move on to the next step to decorate your home with a mural or stencils!

Practice! That’s right, if you want to personalize your bathing area with stenciling you need to make sure that you do it properly. And this can only be done if you practice painting over a pattern outline on cardboard or paper to create original designs for your bathroom walls. You don’t want to have to redo your walls because of an unnecessary mistake so test out your stenciling ideas and painting methods first.

Practice Makes Perfect

Another creative stenciling technique is to combine layers of stencils to create a unique bathroom wall, or you can use reverse stenciling techniques to update your bathroom as well.

The third step is what you’ve been waiting for! You can finally start to add art and design to your home walls using stencil designs. Take the custom designed stencils you’ve made, or the ones you purchased, and attach them to the wall with some masking or duct tape.

Make sure they are properly fastened because if they begin moving after you’ve started painting, the stencil outlines will be blurred and paint will seep underneath the stencil pattern and everything will be ruined.
