Earlier this month, I told you that I am hoping to incorporate an Indian paisley pattern into my future home, whether through upholstery, accessories, or--ideally--wallpaper. In the
post, I shared two paisley pattern stencils I had found on
Etsy as a more affordable solution to achieving the look, which got me thinking: wallpaper can be so expensive! And although it is often worth the cost in living rooms and dining rooms where entertaining often occurs, stencils can be an affordable alternative to wallpaper in less formal rooms. And if you don't have the patience to put these stencils on your wall, you can use them to make a pretty backing in a bookshelf, dress up a dresser, or even make a fabric more fabulous!
So for today's Friday Find I am featuring some more stylish stencils that start at just $18.95 on
Etsy. Many (if not, all) of these stencils are reusable and therefor, unlike some of our favorite wallpaper patterns, won't be discontinued...as long as you don't lose them in the back of your craft closet. Another incentive to use stencils: sometimes Etsy vendors will work with you to personalize stencil sizes and even designs!
Other trellis options:
Caning, rattan, and woven pattern stencils--perhaps for a sun room, guestroom, or eat-in kitchen?:
Greek key stencils for an accent wall, office, or media room?:
Ikat would be ideal in a library:
And of course, some pretty paisley stencils:
Distinguish an entryway in a weekend with these medallion stencils:
These Chinoiserie stencils would be the perfect way to dress up a powder room or dining room:
Chevron, maybe for an office or a nursery?:
Enjoy!
