If you want to give a new face to the space where you live but don't have enough money to buy new things like wallpaper or carpet, you can start by decorating the floor with simple stencil templates. You will need paint, a lot of patience, brushes, various stencils and not least imagination.
Stencil patterns can be applied to any type of flooring: tiles, parquet, linoleum, cement or wooden floors. If you have decided to use the stencil for floor decoration, here are some suggestions that you should consider before starting work:
1. Choose the stencil pattern
The pattern you choose should not contrast with the style in which the rest of the room is decorated. The same goes for colors.
2. Create a stencil or buy one
You can buy or even make your own stencil. You can find plenty of suggestions online on how to build your own stencil. They can be made from cardboard or plastic material. Imagination plays an important role. Here is a video to help you create a stencil:
3. Cleaning the surface
This step is very important because the paint needs to adhere as well as possible to the floor. So it is advisable to wash the floor beforehand to remove dirt and grease stains.
4. Apply paint over the stencil
After you have fixed in your mind the places where you want to apply the pattern, start painting. We recommend that you maintain symmetry in the positioning of the pattern so as not to overload the surface and give a sense of disorder.
