Stencil Lisbon | 19cm

The stencil Lisbon

The designer was inspired by an old Portuguese tile pattern for this charming design. The special thing about the stencil Lisbon is that you can use it to print large patterns. This is because four parts of this stencil have to be placed together as a square. This gives you a large pattern. This has a fantastic effect on larger surfaces, especially on the floor. Incidentally, you can also work wonderfully with two different colours for this tile pattern. This makes it easy to achieve the look of old cement tiles. Especially if you use colours from the same colour scheme, such as different shades of grey. This principle can of course also be applied to shades of green, brown and blue. Let your creativity run wild!

Using stencil Lisbon on the floor - the preparation

Firstly, you should clean the floor well. The surface must be free of dust and, above all, grease. The best way to do this is to use To Clean from MissPompadour. Then apply the base colour. For tiles, it is best to use the Eggshell Varnish from MissPompadour. For an untreated wooden floor, you can also work with the wall paint. If the floor is already varnished, it is better to use the varnish. For easier work, you can extend your paint roller with a broom handle. Always paint the floor twice and allow the paint to dry thoroughly. Only then can you start stencilling.

Working with the stencil Lisbon

When applying the stencil, make sure you work perpendicularly. With floor tiles, you may be able to align yourself with the subfloor tiles. For a wooden floor, you should use a spirit level to determine horizontal and vertical lines. Mark these lines on the floor with a soft pencil. Use the markings you find on the stencil. If you are stencilling with different colours, allow the paint to dry well after each application before you start with the next colour. The stencil can be easily cleaned with water after each colour application. Finally, stabilise the floor with one of the topcoats from our collections.
