Cutting Edge Stencils

I always liked the elegant note wallpaper adds to a space.However, I was never fond of the idea of hanging it, committing to it for long term and then..removing it of the walls.

Luckily, today there is a better alternative which allows you to achieve the same stylish decor without all the hassle: wall stencils.



Wall stencils allows you to be creative: you can stencil an entire room, an accent wall or even the ceiling.

In the last edition of "Better Home and Gardens" magazine, they featured a ceiling which had a damask stencil applied over. It looked like something Candice Olson would have done- very elegant and distinctive.

Also, you can use these stencils to add a decorative motif to your furniture. A very interesting idea I came across is to use the for the back of bookshelves. Also, if you apply them on a large canvas you can use as artwork or even as a headboard for your bed.

Recently, I had the pleasure of using a wall stencil I got from the CuttingEdgeStencils shop. CuttingEdgeStencils offers a large variety of stencils which are great for any decor: from modern, contemporary, classic to French Country and Shabby Chic.

Also, the stencils for the kids' rooms add a playful and chic note to the space.

I picked the Clematis stencil to create some artwork I need for my modern living room. Since I am currently renting, I can not use it for an accent wall, but using this stencil on a large canvas allows me to bring the color I need in my space.


From the start I was impressed with the quality of material this stencil is made out. Also, it is very easy to apply it as long as you use the proper tools and just the right amount of paint, the results are stunning.
