Stencils and Stripes
Stencilling is an affordable option for adding interest and personality to a wall space. Companies like Cutting Edge Stencils and Royal Design Studios have come up with some amazing designs and tutorials to make this process do-able and beautiful. Although it does require a bit of DIY spirit and ambition, the end results are stunning.

Stencilling can also apply to situations other than walls . It can transform a piece of furniture:

Another paint treatment for walls utilizes just paint and painter’s tape, and turns the walls into STRIPES!

Stencilling done right is such an inexpensive and gorgeous way to add detail. I’m currently working on a fabric paint project using stencils.
