4 simple steps for painting walls with stencils correctly

First, select the color you want to paint the walls with. White and beige are easy to work with, while a darker color gives the room more originality. You can then combine the base color with a metallic accent. Paint the accent wall first and allow it to dry for two to three days. Then buy a wall stencil or make your own. You will also need a spirit level and tape. Place the stencil in the right position, level it and secure it with tape. Now apply the accent color. Special stencil brushes are available and help prevent paint from running or smearing. Work carefully, and make sure the back of the stencil is clean.

Painting walls – which stencils are suitable?

The right stencil depends on two things: the size of the room and the existing interior style. The walls of a colonial-style interior, for example, suit classical motifs, while a modern apartment works well with geometric shapes. If you use small stencils, remember that they should cover at least half of the wall and be painted side by side. These are only guidelines, of course; you still have room to follow your own taste.
