There are as many varieties of stencil styles as there are wallpapers, so be prepared for an overwhelming amount of choices. It’s best to start out knowing what kind of look you want, and then narrow it down from there. Do you want something that’s an Art Deco or Art Nouveau style? Or maybe something more graphic and modern? There are also ceiling stencils, mural stencils, nature-inspired stencils, and monograms and other custom stencils.

Make sure you know what kind of area you want to cover with the stencil, and what size stencil you’ll need. Do you want a repeating pattern? A simple accent? Or something more subtle? Think about what will enhance the look of your home the best, and pick the style that will work best for you.

Also, try to avoid cardboard stencils. Yes, they’re a bit more inexpensive, but they can be come a mess quickly, and rip and tear easily. Plastic stencils not only help avoid these issues, but the can also be washed off and reused, so you really get your money’s worth.
