Unless you are talented enough to wisp a brush through paint and come up with a masterpiece, decorating with stencils is a great way for you to experience the satisfaction of being an artist of decorative painting.
And of course, art is all about decorating our lives. We want color and pictures everywhere we look. Otherwise our eyes would have nothing to gaze upon and our spirits would be bored.

You've come to the right place for great stenciling ideas and how to information. If you think that stencils are just for walls, you'll be surprised.
You can liven up any room by decorating a piece of furniture to match the theme of the space or create one of its own. I bet you have a worn down old dresser or out of style cabinet sitting around your house or collecting dust in the attic. Can you imagine it as the new focal point in your living room? Alright, so it might take a little imagination but put your mind to it and I bet you'll be dragging it out to the garage and slathering paint on it before you know what's gotten into you.
Using stencils while furniture painting is a great way to decorate! Custom hand painted furniture adds an exclusive feel to any room whether it's a formal living area or a child's room. Stencils can be applied to parts of the furniture as an accent or spread over the whole piece to create an entire scene. Here are some ways to use stencils to decorate furniture.
Paint an image on the inside panels of cabinet doors. A single Fleur de lis works great for a traditional look. Do you have an old armoire rotting in the shed? Put a coat of fresh paint on it and decorate each door with a matching stencil design. These pieces are great storage and even better to hide the TV so don't let old furniture go unused when you can create art with them.
Use several related stencil images to paint a still life on the top a table. Can you picture several different flower stencils bursting from the center of a table? Think of the color infusion you can work into the artwork. It would be an instant conversation piece. Be careful or everybody you know will want one.
We like to be unique. And since we were all created to be different, we should have our own style. As Clairee so eloquently put it in Steel Magnolias, "The ability to accessorize is what separates us from the animals."
Well, anytime you pick clothing off the rack at a store notice that it is also available in four different colors and 10 different sizes. In other words about 500 other people can be wearing the same thing. What a dilemma!
Oh wait! I have a great idea. Use a stencil to personalize your clothes (well not all of them). You can paint one large image on the front and center of a t-shirt or maybe just a small design on a pocket. Decorate a pair of jeans or a jean jacket. You can paint an image on the front legs of the jeans (near the ankle or on the thigh) or just a small emblem on the back pocket.
Can you think of a better way to make team or sport shirts? If it's for a kids group, getting them involved can be great fun not to mention a good team spirit building experience. Don't forget that stencils are designed to replicate an exact image every time used so the shirts for your team will all be alike.
Stencils can help you create some great art for framing too! I bet you didn't even think about that. You can customize the art in a room to really suit the decor. Choose the theme, color, size and combine stencils to make a scene! Create one art piece with a single stencil or use more to create a collection of art.
What about the walls? Using stencils to add pizazz to walls opens up so many opportunities. You can create borders up at the ceiling level or near the chair railing. Combine several designs to create a mural. Or just add one small image to add a little fun and mischief to a room (like a fairy hovering around a light switch).
As you can see, decorating with stencils is a great way to enhance the beauty of your home, your closet and yourself! I hope you enjoy the ideas and information in this article and have found some inspiration to decorate with stencils.
