How to Stencil an Accent Wall

A stenciled accent wall is both affordable and easy to DIY.  In this post, I’m going to teach you how to stencil an accent wall, for 1/5 the cost of most wallpaper.

PAINT THE WALL

First, you’ll paint the wall the color you’d like for the background. Even if you’re keeping the wall the same color, I still recommend a fresh coat of paint for the best results.

1

Locate the center of the wall

When stenciling an accent wall, you need to start from the center of the wall, moving top to bottom, then alternating left and right.

2

Level the stencil

Check your stencil with a level. It’s most important that the stencil is level vertically.

3

Roll on your stencil paint

Pour the pattern color into a paint tray and with a small foam roller, begin to roll the paint onto the stencil. 

4

Using a small brush or cotton swab, go in and touch up the paint. A few of my dots were a little faint and small in spots I had trouble getting flush to the wall or when I didn’t wash my stencil soon enough.

Touch up the stenciled areas with paint
