Faux Painting Stenciling

Faux painting stenciling is a fun way to add an interesting element to any environment. And it's so easy with stencils.

Stencils are a brilliant solution for those of us who love to paint and create but are not quite comfortable enough to hand paint images in place.

Stencils come in so many different designs that it's easy to find the image for faux painting stenciling that you have in mind or maybe just by browsing what's out there you might get inspired by one you see. Either way, it's so much fun to create images on the walls or furniture or whatever that will fool the eye into thinking it's a real object.

Here are a couple of doors that have been transformed from plain brown stained foyer doors to a welcoming surprise. Read more about this project and how you too can spruce up the doors in your home at Trompe Loeil Stencils where you'll find all the details and I hope some inspiration.

Here is another example of what you can do to invite a touch of the past to your doors. This is a very simple stencil and best of all it's free for you to try out working with faux painting stenciling patterns at Trompe Loeil Free Key Bow.

The Key Bow is a part of all the doors in old houses so if you're interested in adding a little character or some interest in your home, try this little stencil and I think you'll be motivated to paint much more with faux painting stenciling. Which brings us to our next project that will hopefully motivate you from a very small painting to a very large Wall Mural.

As you'll soon come to see, faux painting stenciling can be very small or very large. You can paint an ant on a table top or you can paint a full size garden on a wall. It's up to you - you are the designer.

Pssst! Don't miss the video below!

So as you see, you can use stencils to add a tiny painted image or cover a whole wall like this. I know it looks like a large project but actually it was started and finished in one weekend. The stencils make it easy and at Stencil Wall Murals you'll find a great video so that you can follow along with the whole process.
