Stencil – FAQ
What is stencil decorating and how does it enhance interior spaces?
Stencil decorating is a creative technique where reusable patterns are applied to walls, ceilings, furniture, or architectural details to add texture, pattern, and visual interest. It’s a cost-effective way to introduce custom design elements without wallpaper or murals.
Where can stencilling be used in a design scheme?
Stencil finishes can be used on feature walls, borders, ceilings, cabinetry, floors, and bespoke joinery. They are suitable for residential, commercial, and hospitality interiors, adding layered pattern and depth to both contemporary and traditional spaces.
What types of stencil patterns are available?
Stencil designs range from classic motifs and geometric repeat patterns to bespoke custom artwork. Patterns can be subtle or bold, tailored in scale and colour to complement any design aesthetic.
How does the stencilling process work?
Stencilling involves positioning a precision-cut template on the chosen surface and applying paint or decorative mediums through the cut-outs. Multiple colours and layering techniques can be used to achieve rich effects and dimensional finishes.
Is stencil decorating suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes — when applied with appropriate paints and sealers, stencilled surfaces are durable and long-lasting. Protective finishes can also be added to increase resistance to wear and facilitate easy maintenance.
Can stencilled designs be customised for my project?
Absolutely — stencilled patterns can be developed to suit your specific design vision, whether that’s a bespoke motif based on a theme, logo, or architectural detail. Customisation ensures the finish perfectly matches your interior scheme.
