Let’s get stenciling! simple stenciled tile floor collage simple stenciled tile floor productsThe stencil used for this DIY floor upgrade is the Primavera Tile Stencil. The paints used were Benjamin Moore Navajo White, Blue Danube, and Nantucket Fog. Spray adhesive is optional and can help reduce paint seepage but is not necessary. Because there is more than one color being used, we suggest using professional stencil brushes for each color to avoid them mixing while stenciling. simple stenciled tile floor stencil circleAfter placing your stencil, use your professional stencil brushes to stencil in each part of the design. Make sure to offload the excess paint on your brush onto a paper towel before stenciling the floor. This helps reduce paint from seeping underneath the stencil. The number one mistake when stenciling is having too much paint on your stencil brush or roller! simple stenciled tile floor stencil bluePounce your professional stencil brush up and down for maximum coverage.
