There’s a booming new trend in interior design and that is wall patterns by way of stenciling. Whether they’re hard geometric shapes or flowing organic tapestries, one thing is for sure, they all say something about you. That said, below is a gallery of 10 fabulous stencil designs and a guess at what they might say about the designer.
You’re a bold contemporary…
This bright green geometric pattern on top of a stark off-white background screams contemporary. The clean lines and the surrounding décor are telltale signs that this designer appreciates, above all, the sleek contemporary elements of modern design.
You’re living in the wrong era…
Though these designs are both geometric and of the same color palette, by simply inverting the use of the colors, you instantly time travel 40 years. By making the green the predominant color and by being a bit more “liberal” with the lines, this designer revisits The Wonder Years. But, maybe you’re just being ironic.
You’re having a baby…
The second you use pink as your base there’s little doubt that a baby nursery is under construction. Of course, while we’ve seen nature themes on nursery walls before, these smaller butterfly stencils are a welcomed more minimalist alternative to the other full-wall patterns in this gallery.
You belong in nature …
While the other stencils in this gallery simply confirm the fact that you’re indoors, this humble grove of birch trees is a welcomed change of scenery – bringing the great outdoors to your living room! This is a great stenciling idea for the person whose heart is in nature and has a home by obligation.
You need to expand your social circle…
By all means, we support the idea of having pets in the home but if there are more animals than humans in your household and if assorted cats and dogs are stenciled from wall-to-wall, we encourage you to make some more two-legged friends.
You’re a seasoned vintage…
This darker wall with metallic foil stenciling is one of the more elegant options in this gallery but it’s also an indicator of your personal vintage. Sure, it’s all kinds of classy and maybe even chic, but it’s also the furthest thing from contemporary and very telling of your birth year, or at least of your admiration of eras gone by.
You pay attention to detail…
Whether this is contemporary or rustic is still under consideration, however, one thing is clear, this designer pays attention to detail. Between the clean lines and the monochromatic tones, this choice of stencil is a nice way to decorate the walls without burning your retina.
You ‘re a big game hunter, or maybe a taxidermist…
While most of these stencil designs are at least in the realm of tasteful, this particular zebra print bathroom suggests that the designer is either a pith helmet-wearing safari enthusiast, or possibly in the middle of having an animal stuffed when they chose to wreck the walls in such a way.
You’re one funky mutha…
Either this designer trades stock for a living and takes their work home with them or they’re just that funky. Although this stenciled wall certainly falls in the far-from-subtle category, whether it’s high-design or just plain tacky is in the eye of the beholder.
You wish you were Bruce Lee …
What does having an over-sized picture of a ferocious tiger stenciled on your wall say about you? Well, it combines the two elements above and adds one last option: It says you hunt big game, you’re one funky mutha, and/or you wish you were Bruce Lee.
