Even
though the chair rail stencil and the
stenciled table linen do not match in
desigh, they have been stenciled in
the same color, pulling the two together
harmoniously.
.
An
example of a stenciled frieze area.
Crown molding frames this example,
which uses a stencil that is large enough
to fill the frieze area. The design
should be 3" to 5" narrower
than the frieze in which it will be
used in and should be centered, allowing
an inch or two of space on the top and
bottom.
.
You
can create a frieze area by painting
the lower wall a darker color.
The design may fill the area (as in
the above example) or a narrower design
may be used along the bottom of the
frieze. This works very well
when there isn't any crown molding along
the ceiling. Using the color
of the lower wall in the stencil will
tie the two segments together nicely.
Wood trim may be added as a finishing
touch if desired.
.
Here
again we have a good example of using
a smaller stencil along a break in the
wall line (this time being tile - it
could be wainscoating or a chair rail
too). The stencil design does
not have to fill the whole area and
often is used rather as a compliment
than a dominant feature. Notice again
how the lower wall color is repeated
in the stencil design, tying the wall
together.
