DIY stencils wall stencilThis stunning makeover by 4 Men 1 Lady blog was one of the first where we saw one of our stencils done on a ceiling. It really is such an elegant and perfect look for a bathroom redo. In Michelle's words, "I Stenciled the ceiling with this great trellis pattern and added crown molding. It is one of Cutting Edge Stencils' newest patterns. That was a task! I had silver paint in my hair for days after I finished this because I sponged it rather than rolled it on." If you weren't planning on adding silver highlights to your hair like Michelle, you may want to try to purchase a dense foam roller instead of the sponge brush. It may also make the project a bit faster. wall stencil DIY decor

From Plain to Stunning Stenciled Ceiling

Michelle added ceiling trim in her bathroom which gives any room a bit of extra detail and elegance. Adding trim is a great way to create a classy transition between a stenciled ceiling and a painted wall. Well done Michelle! Doesn't the Trellis Allover stencil look stunning? Ceiling stenciling

The Final Look

This room makeover has been one of our most popular and inspiring over the years. In a small bathroom space like Michelle's, stenciling the ceiling is such a great option. Also, stenciling a ceiling is not the easiest DIY paint project, so choosing to do so in a small room like a bathroom, isn't as much of a pain in the neck (hehe). If you are having trouble choosing which stencil pattern to purchase, here are a few suggestions:
  • If you don't want a "directional" stencil, choose a detailed pattern that has a less obvious direction than our Damask stencils for example. The Zamira Allover stencil, Casablanca stencil, Rabat Allover and any similar designs are great.
  • If you want to go for something a little bit faster and easier, try a wall art stencil like any of our flower stencils for a simple feminine look.
  • If you are looking for a design that clearly had a top and bottom, your best bet would be to buy a damask stencil.
