“I wanted to share a great project we just completed on our front porch using the Chez Ali Moroccan Stencil by Royal Design Studio and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. The porch was always lovely, but the concrete was discolored and not uniform, so we whitewashed it and then stenciled it. We are so pleased with how our now stunning porch turned out, thank you so much.” – Sarah Jones
“I used the Tribal Batik Wall Stencil on a previously boring, white wall, and the difference is amazing! So impressed with Royal Design Studio Stencils!” – Sarah Stelfox
“WHAT FUN! Have to say this project was a blast. After pouring over the many Royal Design Studio Stencils (amazing by the way), the artist in me went for the drama with the Francesca Floral Wall Stencil. People are blown away when they see it... and the first thing they ask is "Can I touch it?!" My house is in a National Historic District and stenciling works so well for the look I was trying to achieve. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome.” – Carol Eberhardt
“Our friends were amazed by the results of our stenciled floor and the fact that it was actually plywood - not ceramic tile! BEAUTIFUL! We used the Concrete Quilt Tile Stencil. I now have many, many more stencil projects in the works!” – Kim Stewart
“My daughter wanted a mermaid room and her grey walls were boring, so I decided to paint an accent wall with Behr Pink Sea Salt and then stenciled mermaid scales using the beautiful Moroccan Scallop Wall Stencil. So happy with how the project turned out! My daughter loves it! Thanks for helping to make my daughter's room ‘mer-mazing’!” – Jamie Woodson
“This is an old antique glass cabinet. It was quite banged up and scratched in places and I wanted to give it a modern update which was easily achieved using the Hollywood Squares Stencil from Royal Design Studio. I painted the outside in a dark gray and the inside white. And I'm so much happier with it. Thank you so much.” – Marie Wallis
“The staircase used to have awful old dirty shag carpeting. First, we removed the carpet, then installed laminate flooring and painted the risers a dark grey. When I stenciled the Moroccan Tile Stencils Set, the stairway became something interesting and fantastic! I love the way they turned out and Royal Design Studio stencils are very easy to use.” – Cindy Young
“Just finished painting my basement floor with the Lisboa Tile Stencil from Royal Design Studio. I love it!!” – Kelly Hall
“I had layered gold leaf, turquoise, grey, and white, and then covered it in black. I then sanded to show the underneath colors. I stenciled the drawers black then offset the stencil a little and applied white for a 3D drop shadow effect. I used the Ornate Italian Panel Stencil.” – Mary Ann Simpson
“I bought this old kitchen cabinet at a garage sale for $3.00! My creative-self came out and thought it would look good as a shabby chic piece. I took the doors off the hinges for ease of painting. I painted the Harlequin Furniture Stencil in light gray and then used bronze Royal Stencil Creme to paint the French Love Letters Furniture stencil. I stood back and thought, “Wow! Did I do that?” I am so happy with how this project turned out. I love to stencil and Royal Design Studio’s cream paint is pure joy to work with. I wanted their video tutorials and they were very helpful!” – Janice Radigan
“Our living room wall is so bare and boring and we have been looking for the right wall painting to hang to our wall. But after a year, I looked for other solution and found out about wall stencil painting. I started watching videos on how to stencil on Royal Design Studio’s website and I got so excited to do it with the Love Birds Lace Damask Wall Stencil on our living room wall. We love the way it turned out and now we don't need to buy a painting. We got a lot of compliments from our friends and inspire them to paint with Royal Design Studio Stencils. We can't wait to do this to our kids’ room for our next stencil project.” – May El Monton

“We are currently renting and I wanted to change up the bathroom and still be able to change it back again before we leave. The French Love Letters Wall Stencil was perfect for that. I first painted a coat of teal wall paint and then stenciled using a cream iridescent metallic paint. The stencil is subtle but makes such a pretty impact.” – Beach Shack Designs
“This is our awesome stenciled wall! Everyone thinks it’s wallpaper because it turned out so well. When the light comes in during late afternoon, the Elsabet Trellis Wall Stencil shines off the metallic paint creating an amazing effect. The result was surely worth it!” – Jennifer French-Glick
“I finally got enough courage to stencil my bathroom with the Mansion House Grill Trellis Wall Stencil. Step one was to smooth out the textured walls and I'm proud to say I plastered them myself. I used Kelly Moore Canvas Cloth paint as my base coat and Champagne Metallic paint for the stencil. I am very pleased with the result. Thank you Royal Design Studio for providing how-to videos and creating an easy to use stencil.” – Kim Butterworth
“This is the tile in the entry of my house. I used the Toledo Tile Stencil with Amy Howard One Step Paint. I topped it all with four coats of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat. It is a great update to our 20+ year old entry tile without having to tear it all out. The stencil fit our tiles perfectly!” – The Teal Butterfly
“We were redecorating my daughter’s room and instead of getting her a new dresser, I decided to paint her existing dresser to match her bed. This was only my second painting furniture and stencil project in my entire life and I love the end result! I used the Rockin Roses Stencil and Shibori Furniture Stencil.” – Jessica Whitehouse
“I used the Lisabetta Floral Damask Wall Stencil to give my kitchen a fresh look. I was so happy how it came out! Thank you!” – Jennifer McDaniel
“This is a table that was given to me by friends who were moving. My son’s wife helped me every step of the way to completely transform this table. We stripped and sanded the table. Then we applied stain over the Jameela Vine Moroccan Stencil and the entire table. It was sealed with a satin polyurethane for long lasting wear and great shine!” – The Chalk Chick
“I have recently moved into a small space with an imperfect grey concrete floor and the new paint and Anatolia Tile Stencil was the perfect way to show off my personality and design AND cover the old paint spattered floor. Royal Design Studio’s website is filled with DIY ideas!” – Louise Male
“I started by scraping the walls to get rid of wall imperfections, painted the bathroom a very light gray and then added stenciling with the Classic Damask Wall Stencil in aqua to help hide any remaining imperfections on the walls. It turned out GREAT!! I just really love the Royal Design Studio stencil pattern, and the quality of the stencil is outstanding. I've gotten so many compliments from my friends and family; they say it looks like a professional job and I'm absolutely thrilled.” – Kathy Boyd
“Our back patio was in need of a freshening up! We considered tiling it but the extensive cost had us going in another direction. Luckily I discovered Royal Design Studio and their amazing stencil selection. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The Moorish Trellis Floor Stencil has been a game changer to the entire backyard!” – Julie Uddenberg
“I have a small bedroom/office downstairs. I hated the carpet so I ripped it up and decided to paint the concrete underneath. I selected the Toledo Tile Stencil. The prep was not too time consuming but the stenciling was really the most fun! I prepped the floor with bonding primer and painted the base color with two coats of concrete paint. I started the stenciling in the middle of the room and worked outwards towards the walls. I then sealed it with water-based polyurethane. Thank you Royal Design Studio for the awesome stencil!” – Debra Woog

“I’m just getting into furniture painting. I loved the French Love Letters Furniture Stencil and this stencil project!” – Cathy Winkler
“I have had these bookcases for years and while they were functional, they were definitely ugly. I wanted them to look cohesive so I painted them all with Kilz and bright white Behr Premium paint and then used Behr Premium in Flashy Sapphire to stencil on the back and sides with the Chez Ali Moroccan Furniture Stencil. It was so very worth it!” – Melissa Lemmons
