The finishing touches to a home are what make a space feel lived-in, tying the home to the personality of its owner. Finishing touches don’t need to be grand decorating gestures. They can simply be smaller pieces that show off your personal taste. For the easiest and most affordable route, add those finishing touches to furniture with Furniture Stencils. You can paint and stencil areas such as dresser drawers, table tops, or even the insides of cabinets!
Our Tribal Batik Furniture Stencil can go global or glam depending on the paint color you use. Melissa Morton Ahrens used natural browns and creams to bring out a subdued tribal look. On the other hand, Phoenix Refinishings gave her cabinet a pop of bright blue paint to contrast with the pink and green.

A great way to decorate on a budget is with stencils. Our Aragon Damask Tile Stencil gave Lovely Nova’s cabinet an Old World look without the hefty price tag she would find in Pier 1 or World Market stores.

Plain, clear glass gets an upgrade! Our Endless Vine Furniture Stencil is used with a reverse glass stenciling technique on the underside of a dining table designed by Heather Bruno-Sears.

You can keep a glass dining table top looking beautiful for longer if it is stenciled.

Michele Bouldin says, “I used the Scrollallover Furniture Stencil and Duck Egg Blue and Old White Chalk Paint® to stencil the left hand sides of the drawers. Once that side was stenciled, I cleaned the stencil and reversed it to paint the right side. This was a great project and I'm really pleased with the results. I transformed a sturdy, but tired, tall boy into a glam little piece that I stenciled myself!"
Mary Ann Hopkins says, “I wanted to create a pop on this piece. I finished the vanity in a deep black and used the Mansion Grille Trellis Furniture Stencil with white and black shading to get the 3D illusion." Phoenix Refinishing also did a similar technique with this cute nightstand!
