My Favorite Stencils
My favorite stencils for walls are the soft nature ones. Nothing too iconic, I like my wall murals to be subtle and relaxing. I believe they should have an affect on the room and the people in it without them actually being aware of the walls.
Anything Japanese and Chinese I love because it fits in with the other aesthetics that I am into like meditation, Asian food, green tea, bonsai, old Asian architecture and Japanese design.
I want the wall stencil and subsequent mural to soften the wall and make the room looker bigger and more peaceful. And anything to do with nature seems to meet that criterion. However animals and insects become to iconic for me. Even flowers are too iconic!
I like reeds, grasses, branches and leaves and a splash of water with a tiny hint of life, like a single dragonfly.
My all-time favorite wall stencils are bamboo stencils. These are great for anyone and everyone as they don’ really define or express a specific interest as apposed to putting a picture of a dragon on your wall.
If you use subtle differences between the colors the final result works on a subconscious level and calms the room including its inhabitants.
I am currently getting my bamboo stencils from YouStencil.com they are the best I have found online!
