Stenciling Home Decor Trends, Animal Print or Brick Stencils
Good Morning, all my stencil lovin' friends! We hope you had a fantastic 4th of July filled stenciled celebrations! If the grand old flag's red, white, and blue has your internal sparklers lit then you won't want to miss our post on how you can keep that flame sizzling all year long with our fresh take on that traditional color scheme. OK now that we got those things out of the way, let's chat about stencil designs. We've been telling you how Cutting Edge Stencils is dreaming up our next stencil designs. And we have been but instead of just forcing new designs on you, our fabulous and crafty fans, we want to see which stencil designs you've been craving. In the past couple of weeks we've taken a look at Nautical and Big Floral designs and then at Chinoiserie and Lace Inspired designs. Today we're going to take a look at two popular home decor trends; animal print designs and brick patterns. And after you've salivated over both stunning patterns, let us know which you'd prefer more! Ok? Now let's get inspiring...
Animal Print (Leopard) Home Decor Trend
From leopard prints to zebra stripes animal prints never seem to go out of style, they are just more popular than ever today! Even Elle Decor highlighted the trend last month noting how these various spots and stripes might become even more trendy in home decor! It really shouldn't surprise us especially since home decor is much akin to fashion and style. In last season's runway shows, animal print was making a huge comeback. But the animal prints in home decorating can run the spectrum of 'love it' to 'love to leave it behind'. Why? Because it’s such a strong pattern, that some people might be concerned that it would overwhelm the look of a space. But that’s not necessarily true and using a stencil to add animal print to your decor is the perfect way to test out a trend. Here are some animal print inspired patterns to help you make your decision.

Brick Home Decor Trend
As hopeless romantics, we just LOVE the rustic, earthy look that brick inspired designs bring to a space. Over the past year, exposed brick walls started becoming the hot household item. Unfortunately, they're not all that practical for most homes. So what's the next best thing? Faux brick patterns that emulate the real thing. So if you're just gaga over brick but you're lacking in masonry skill then this trend is for you! Here are some faux brick patterns to help you make your decision.
