Mano Venkatraman is quite
the artist and has been featured on our website before and included in art
contests on the HouseOfFaux.com
website.
Mano is also obviously a decorating enthusiast as you can tell by this
beautiful wall and doorway done with single stencils.
Though the stencil designs featured on the door and above the wall do
not belong to us, the picture shows how you can use elongated designs such
as our
Raised Plaster Oblong Panel or any of our
Raised Plaster Border Stencils to create the same look.
Any
singular stencil design can be repeated on a wall to create an all over
look as Mano has done here. Notice how the placement seems random, but yet
upon examination is simply 4 rows of the design, each row being offset from
the one above and with either an even or odd number of design in each row.
Everything is evenly spaced in order to create uniformity and is simply
done.
Notice that the same design used at the top molding of the room was
also used across the front of the door. How beautiful!
Take a look at the adjacent wall and the unique treatment on that
wall. I've shown you how to do rolled plaster using a roller, diluted joint
compound and a wallpaper brush, I feel that this wall could very well be
that particular technique.
Hey Mano! Let us know how you did it! It's beautiful!
Designer's Tips:
To create an evenly spaced wallpaper effect on
your wall, simply measure your wall height and divide it by the number of
rows of designs you would like to use on your wall. This gives you the
placement for each line of stencil designs vertically (floor to ceiling).
Next, measure the width of the wall and divide
that number by the number of designs you would like per line. That will give
you how far to space each design apart.
When repeating to the next line, simply apply
the design directly in between the designs you did in the first line to
create an offset pattern.
