The book opens with a detailed introductory section covering what stencilling is; how to draw, cut and transfer templates; paint types and paint mixes, and everything you will possibly need to know about materials, equipment and techniques.Then the book presents over 70 original practical projects for using stencils in the home, from themed room treatments to decorative accessories. There are many inspirational room schemes to choose from, such as transforming a kitchen with French country-style curtains in fresh blue and white, or more opulently, a baronial dining room with a golden frieze of fleur-de-lys.
