Stenciling
Stencils have been used as far back as 3000 B.C. in China, and since then have been greatly used to create decorative finishes.

Stencils can be used to establish a theme for a room, used on walls, ceilings, furnishings and floors, over a base color or with other paint effects.

Stenciling can be applied as a single motif or a repeating pattern, and help to improve a room's proportions or to draw attention to an attractive feature.
