“This is my bathroom before and after I painted the floor tiles! I used the Renaissance Tile Stencils Set A and I painted the floor with Rustoleum chalk paints and sealed it with a matte finish. These stencils were exactly what I was looking for! This project was very rewarding!” – Holly Durdin
“We absolutely love Royal Design Studio stencils and have been so impressed with their products! We used my favorite Annapakshi Indian Damask Stencil – it really made this dresser a show stopper! We used Napoleonic Blue and Giverny Chalk Paint® for the colors and used Artisan Enhancements top coat to complete the look!” – The Painted Swallow
“Fireplace redo painted and stenciled with the Renaissance Tile Stencil Set A. I couldn’t be happier with it, and constantly have to convince people it’s stencil painted and not purchased cement tile. I love how it turned out! J” – Angie Delvecchio
“I had this old bamboo rug in my workroom that I used to paint on, build things, etc. I decided I wanted to paint and stencil it. I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Duck Egg Blue and used both the Aveline Damask Stencil and the Anastasia Tile Stencil. The project was fast and I couldn't be happier with it. It turned something old, dated and tired into a beautiful addition to my living room and was much less expensive than buying a new rug. It is just beautiful and I love it! Thank you Royal Design Studio for producing quality stencils, they were both a dream to work with.” – Becky Schooler
“This is my kitchen before and after using the Mandala Fusion Stencil. I used 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of Grab N Go white latex paint for the base color, 2 coats of Rustoleum Charcoal Chalk Paint for the stencil, and 3 coats of water based polyurethane sealer. I love the stencil and the outcome. I got a ton of likes and people asking where to buy the stencil. Thanks!” – Carolyn Denham
“I just renovated this furniture piece. I really love furniture with curves and I knew I could make this chest of drawers shine again. I used the Fortuny Damask Stencil, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® in Old Ochre, Chateau Grey, and Old White, Clear Wax, and Dark Wax… and voila!” – Irida Kyriakopoulou
“My husband and I used the Herringbone Brick Wall Stencil to give new life to our outdated kitchen backsplash. For a long time, I've wanted a herringbone backsplash but the tile option was just very pricey at the hardware stores we checked out. When I found Royal Design Studio Stencils online, I fell in love with the look. This project was also much more affordable and budget friendly!” – Nitzan Singer
“I had this little dresser floating around the house and wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, waiting for inspiration to strike. And it did! I have a lot of white furniture and wanted a conversation piece. I painted it with the Tribal Batik Furniture Stencil. I’m so in love with this dresser!” – Jenna Lunde Perkins
“Before, this room was lacking any interest or excitement. When I saw the Mandala Fusion Wall Stencil on Royal Design Studio’s website, I immediately fell in love and I knew this is what the bedroom needed! I decided to use it on only one wall so it would be the focal point of the room and so it wouldn’t be too busy. I started by painting the wall black, and then stenciled it with an off white color. Surprisingly the stenciling part wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be considering the fact that the pattern was very intricate. I am beyond excited with the finished result, I have been sharing the pictures with all my family and friends and everyone absolutely loves it! No one believes that it’s not wallpaper!” – Lucia Buenrostro
“I’m very proud of my foyer makeover! It was boring and didn’t show any style, so I decided to make a change with a modern and cozy design. I used the Contempo Trellis Stencil and Royal Stencil Cremes for the walls. It gives the special effect of classy, elegant, and cozy! I also decided to paint carpets instead of buying them because I have dogs and it’s difficult to keep them clean and in the same place. I used the same stencil to create a long runner for the hallway and a carpet entrance for the door. I really love the whole project because this stencil was perfect for matching the walls and floor. It made my foyer so welcoming and charming. I love it!
I really hated the horrible green in my master bathroom. I used was the Mamounia Moroccan Trellis Stencil, primer, and Behr porch and patio paint. I’m so happy and the results were worth it! I love my master bathroom!
My mom is coming to visit me and I wanted to set up my guest room in a very personal way so she could feel at home. This is the same Mamounia Moroccan Trellis Wall Stencil that I used for my bathroom floor and I never imagined that it would come so perfect for her room.” – Araceli Patino

“This is my new favorite stencil project! For several years I strongly disliked my kitchen tile floor. I used the Toledo Tile Stencil with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. Royal Design Studio stencils come with great how-to instructions. I now look forward to walking into my kitchen on this beautiful floor!” – Janice Fresh
“This is my laundry room. The before pic is after I tore up the terribly ugly vinyl sheet floor. I filled all the holes and cracks in the concrete, then I vacuumed and washed the concrete of all debris and dirt. I painted the floor with two coats of Graphite Chalk Paint®, then stenciled the floor with the Toledo Tile Stencil and Pure White Chalk Paint®. I sealed it with two coats of Annie Sloan Floor Lacquer. I love it!” – Janene Buchler
“This is a mid-century vintage kitchen workspace, commonly referred to as a "Hoosier Cabinet". It needed major repairs and reinforcement before I could finally get to the fun part and stencil it. I used the Wisteria Bonnie Christine Stencil, ½” Royal Stencil Brush, and Behr paint with a stippling method. After priming, painting, and stenciling the porcelain table top, I floated a clear bar top finish on it to protect the stenciling when using the table. The finish is super durable and shiny and looks really nice over the stenciling. It is now our bar in the family room.” – Dale Farley
“I stenciled my office wall with the Hollywood Squares Wall Stencil. I was looking for a wow factor and I wanted to keep the style very contemporary. I think I achieved both with this bold pattern. Working in my office is now something that I look forward to everyday!” – Alexandra Solorzano
“A family member was getting rid of this desk because it was outdated and old, but I saw some potential past the flower power drawer liners. I wanted to turn it into a makeup vanity with a sleek and interesting design. I painted the desk black, added faux leather to the drawer fronts and painted this stencil pattern on the top. I felt like the Shibori Japanese Furniture Stencil added a modern and unique look to the project.” – Ashley Kurek
“Thank you to Royal Design Studio for creating such a beautiful stencil patterns. Feature walls are a simple yet high impact way to transform any room in your home. I used Cheetah Spots Wall Stencil to transform my feature wall and very happy about the result.” – Tumay Gunaydin Design
“After viewing alternatives for our tiny entry floor I decided on stenciling using one of your stencils. While the project was time consuming it was well worth the results! We primed with 2 coats; 2 coats of the dark blue, then stenciled with the Wonderment Trellis Stencil; and lastly 2 coats of a sealer. We love our floor!” – Chrisandra Burgess
“I was looking for the perfect stencil for my fireplace and found the ONE on Royal Design Studio’s website!! The Toledo Tile Stencil completely transformed my fireplace. I will definitely return for more!” – Carrie Buck
“We wanted a fun, inexpensive, waterproof option for the guest room we were creating in our basement. The floor was concrete and I suggested painting and stenciling it, and we decided that would be a low risk, low cost experiment. I am so glad we did. It is stunning and so much fun. We used Sherwin Williams porch and floor paint with a stain finish as the base. We stenciled with a metallic gold. This was a jaw dropping gorgeous combination. Because it is a floor, we needed some kind of sealer, so we put down three coats of Breakthrough clear in satin. Those who see it are mesmerized by it. I absolutely love this floor. The Palace Trellis Moroccan Stencil was well designed and a very good quality.” – Katheryn Heinz
“Thank you for the inspiration!” – Catherine White used the Anatolia Tile Stencil on her wood floors
“I have a nightstand and a dresser that I’ve wanted to stencil for the longest time. I didn’t want to go through all the work of stripping the items to paint so when I saw Royal Design Studio’s Paint Peel N Stick™ Canvas I was really excited. I painted the canvas first with Old White Chalk Paint® and then stenciled the Rockin’ Roses Stencil with Paris Gray Chalk Paint®. They turned out exactly the way I was hoping they would.” – Jan Souza
“I was happy to suggest Royal Design stencils to a client as an alternative to wallpapering her mudroom. The choice of Mamounia Moroccan Trellis Wall Stencil was a perfect fit.” – Monica Marquette
“This is my first ever stenciling project – I used the Gigi Scroll Modern Furniture Stencil, French Flourish Stencil, and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® to bring my 2 tired dressers back to life. It was easy to do and I am thrilled with the finished result and how it revamped my furniture!” – Teresa Cunningham
“This is my daughter’s bathroom. The original wallpaper was bubbling significantly, the paint cracking in places, and the whole thing was in dire need of a makeover. I stripped off the wallpaper and replaced some molded and rotted drywall and trim. I used Sherwin Williams paint and Modern Masters Satin Nickel for stenciling the Uzma Circles Raven + Lily Wall Stencil. I LOVE the outcome! And so does everyone else!” – Andrea Woolum
“Thanks to the Vase and Pearls Damask Wall Stencil, the ugliest room in this house is now my favorite! I now hate to turn the lights off! It's the first stencil I've ever done and I love it!” – Heather Brumbaugh
“Dark and dated heavy wall hangings brought into the light with the fabulous Cable Knit Wall Stencil and Palace Trellis Wall Stencil from Royal Design Studio and some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®. My client was thrilled with the transformation and so am I!” – Lee Debetaz
“For my DIY project, I added some filigree to our cabinet doors using Filagree Panel Furniture Stencil, Bright Gold Royal Stencil Creme, and 3/4" Royal Stencil Brush.” – Emerald Viado
