Some people choose to take their design even further by using painting techniques on top of their base coat, like antiquing, colorwashing or stenciling.
If you are inexperienced with stenciling, consider creating a rustic design that will hide small flaws.
Of course, some crafting stores will offer a small selection of wall stenciling materials; however, the selection of wall stencils available online is huge.
In addition, and perhaps the most important decision when choosing a stencil to decorate the walls of your home, is the amount of time and energy you are willing to put into the stenciling project.
With a little practice, stenciling can become as automatic and as relaxing as writing a letter or enjoying a cup of coffee.
