🌹 Classic flowers
Rose, tulip and sunflower are the most universally recognised flower designs — timeless, versatile, and equally at home on a feature wall, a linen cushion, or a handmade card.
🌿 Botanical & leaf designs
Fern, monstera, oak leaf and dandelion bring the clean, graphic quality of botanical illustration into a stencil format. These designs are particularly popular for contemporary and Scandi-style interiors.
🌸 Exotic & tropical blooms
Lotus flower, cherry blossom and lavender bring an exotic quality to any project. The lotus is particularly popular for yoga and meditation spaces; cherry blossom for Japanese-inspired interiors and spring decoration.
🌾 Wreaths & botanical arrangements
The botanical wreath, christmas wreath and holly bring together multiple botanical elements in a single balanced design. Perfect for doors, walls, gift wrap and seasonal decoration.
🔵 Decorative & mandala florals
The lotus mandala and floral mandala designs sit at the boundary between the botanical and the geometric — intricate, symmetrical, and deeply satisfying to apply carefully.
Choosing colours for flower stencils
Flower stencils reward thoughtful colour choices more than almost any other design type. The rose and tulip look beautiful in their natural colours on white walls, but are equally striking as a monochrome silhouette in dark grey or forest green on a light background. The dandelion is particularly lovely in white on a mid-grey or charcoal wall — it has the quality of a chalk illustration.
For fabric projects, botanical designs on natural linen are almost universally beautiful. The fern, lotus flower and feather all have the organic quality that suits natural fabric well. Use earthy greens, dusty pinks and warm creams for a boho linen aesthetic.
Flower stencils for furniture
Botanical designs are among the most popular choices for furniture upcycling. The rose, cherry blossom and botanical wreath all work beautifully over chalk paint on drawers, wardrobe doors and table tops. Apply over a dried base coat, use a near-dry brush, and peel while slightly damp for the cleanest edge. Wax or varnish the whole piece to seal.
