5 Fabulously Easy Ways to Stencil Walls with Metallic Royal Stencil Creme Paints

Stenciling is one of the fastest, easiest ways to add pretty pattern to almost any surface. But did you know that there is a special paint that is designed JUST for the sole purpose of making stenciling even faster, even easier, and even MORE beautiful?? After stenciling for most of my life (over 30 years now!) I decided that what the stencil world needed was the ultimate stencil paint! I dreamed of beautiful metallic colors, a creamy consistency, excellent coverage and effortless application. I wanted a paint that would make it easy for even beginning stencilers to achieve great results-the first time. And I wanted a paint that even experienced artisans would appreciate. Because, after all, doesn’t everyone want to get great results in less time?? Of course, they do! And so, Royal Stencil Creme paints were born! Check out this FREE 9-page instructional booklet on the basics of how to use Royal Stencil Creme paints, and then read on for some pretty stencil painting ideas that you can try for yourself using stencils from Royal Design Studio…

Tone-on-Tone Pearlescent Stenciling

5 Fabulously Easy Ways to Stencil Walls with Metallic Royal Stencil Creme Paints

Our Pearl Oyster Royal Stencil Creme is one of our best selling colors. It’s easy to see why! It simply pairs well over any color of paint. We paired it here over Behr Premium Plus Ultra paint in a color called Posture and Pose with a newer stencil in our Bonnie Christine Stencil Collection: Petal Play. Royal Stencil Creme paints are designed to be used with our high-quality Stencil Brushes. Stenciling with brushes offers much more control than stenciling with rollers. Other advantages are that you use a lot less paint and have very little to no paint “bleed-under” as long as you remember to offload your brush onto paper towels each time you reapply paint. The 3″ Super Large Stencil Brush shown here makes stenciling a larger scale pattern a breeze. The densely packed bristles hold a large amount of paint so you can stencil farther and faster with each load of the brush.

Stenciling with Pearl Oyster Stencil Cream looks particularly pretty over light pastel colors, as stenciling with it gives the look of a shimmery damask fabric that changes depending on the light and your point of view.

Shades of Silver Stenciling

Antique Silver Stencil Cream helped us transform a $5 thrift store table into a shimmery showpiece in a very short time. The clean lines of the table called for a geometric pattern and the Asmir Triangle Furniture Stencil was the perfect fit. For this effect we placed 2″ painter’s tape around the edges of the table to create an inset pattern. After finding the center point of the table top we began the pattern centered there so that it ends the same way at each edge. More tape was then used to mask off and stencil a 1/2″ stripe all around for a fabulous finishing touch.

Two is Better Than One Stenciling

Alternative colors of Royal Stencil Cremes create a simple 2-toned dimensional effect with the African Plumes Wall Stencil above. For a more subtle look we mixed 1 part Pearl Oyster Stencil Cream, with 1 part Antique Silver Stencil Cream to create a soft silver color and did that on every other row. Then in between we simply used the Pearl Oyster color. Pairing multiple colors within a pattern is a simple way to further customize a stencil design.

Another 2-toned stencil effect is shown above with the Mughal Trellis Wall Stencil. A good trick to get a nice complimentary colors is to use a variation of the same color as your accent. For this stencil treatment we combined 1 part Aged Nickel Stencil Cream and 1 part Smoked Oyster Stencil Cream to create the lighter color. Then, we used the Aged Nickel color alone for the darker color. Since each color includes the Aged Nickel color the two hues marry well together, and the result is soft, pleasing, and quite stunning. Use smaller stencil brushes will allow you to limit the stencil paint to just the design elements you want.

Fade to Black Stenciling

Besides a wide range of metallic paint colors, we also have created a Flat Black Stencil Cream. Here, we used it over Behr Ultra Premium Plus Ottertail with the Uzma Circles Wall Stencil. In this case we used a 4″ stencil foam roller to apply the black stencil creme quickly and evenly. The Uzma Circles stencil comes with an extra little pattern texture detail that you can place as you wish within the circles. It adds a fun, custom detail that allows you to bring in another accent color, or simply used the background color of the wall as we did here.
