In a previous post, we introduced you to our cat, Spike. Here he is again in our Allium stencil roomset photo. Spike is more than willing to model for the camera (we are sure movie roles are to follow). He quite often comes to work to help out and after an hour's worth of pen chewing and paper shuffling, collapses into my in-box for a much needed 4 hour power nap. The Allium stencil is one of Spike's favourite stencils. Using large motif stencils like this is perfect for impact on a particular area of your wall. Pattern is very much "in" for interiors, but for a more contemporary take, limit your pattern to areas of your room rather than covering all your walls with it. This stencil is a 3 layer stencil with an extendable stalk section so you can make your Allium as tall as you like or vary the height of each one as we have done here. You can make them as bold or as subtle as you like with your colour choice. We have stencilled our Allium in shades of brown, but for added impact, put them on a bright blue wall. The layers of the stencil give the Allium depth and look so realistic (despite their larger than life size) that even Spike was fooled. The Allium stencil can be found in our vintage section on our web-site. When you are there, you might also want to look at our Fennel stencil too. R
