Geometric stenciling is a sure way to add interest to a small space that you can completely DIY, right down to the stencil. Simply print your pattern of choice, then trace onto a blank plastic stencil sheet and cut, just as the ladies of A Beautiful Mess did for the bathroom. Pro tip: Make a few half- or quarter-sized versions of your stencil to help you navigate tight corners.

Large accent stenciling can replace wall hangings, bringing color and interest to an otherwise ho-hum wall. Oversized stencils like this from Cutting Edge Stencils use larger foam rollers rather than small brushes, meaning shorter work time and almost instant gratification.

Love Your Laundry Room
8/11
Sorting your lights and darks can get a whole lot better with a laundry room refresh, as we see in Kelly from View Along the Way's home. She repeated a full-wall peacock pattern by temporarily hanging her stencil with a light coating of spray-on adhesive during painting—just enough so she could lift and relay for the rest of the wall.

Accent an Alcove

Reminiscent of damask roses, this stencil that Angie from Angie's Roost chose for an accent wall provides designer-wallpaper style at a fraction of the price. The paint's rich shade of copper lends itself to the upscale direction of the alcove refresh.

Lift Your Spirit

Stenciled artwork will come to life when you replace the paint with a plaster. You can pre-tint the mixture with any water-based paint to match your decor, then paint it over a plaster stencil like this one from Victoria Larsen Stencils. Once dry, a darker, translucent wall glaze will help the raised detailing stand out even more.
