With the right choice of colors and patterns, you can easily find ways to add charm and personality to your furniture project.
Floral Stencils VS Floral Transfers
If you’re looking to add a floral touch to your furniture, there are two main EASY options: stencils or transfers.
A stencil is usually a thin sheet of plastic with a pattern cut out of it and is used to produce designs by spraying or brushing paint onto cutouts.
Floral transfers are very thin paperlike material (kind of like tissue paper) that has a design printed on it. A thin sheet of plastic is stuck to it to help keep it protected until you rub the transfer off onto a surface.
Floral stencils allow for more creativity and flexibility when painting since you can choose your own color palette and vary the look of the design by adding additional elements.
On the other hand, floral transfers provide an effortless way to apply jaw dropping, beautiful designs with minimal effort.
Both stencils and transfers come in many sizes and designs. And you can pick and choose what part of each you want to use on your project.
Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference when choosing between floral stencils and transfers for painting furniture.

Techniques for painting with stencils or transfers on furniture
If you’re new to stenciling furniture or using transfers on furniture, it can be a bit intimidating. But with a few techniques and some practice you’ll be able to easily create beautiful designs on your furniture.
First, you have to make sure you have properly prepped furniture for painting. After doing your base coat, you should let it dry completely before moving onto stenciling or transfers.
It would be better to lay your furniture down then position your stencil flat on the furniture. This way you’ll be able to tape your stencil down so it doesn’t move while you’re working with it.
Depending on the size of your furniture and the size of your stencil, you may have to reposition it multiple times to get the full design on your piece. Just remember to remove the stencil carefully and let the paint dry before repositioning it for another section.

Do I need to seal the stenciling or transfers on my furniture?
You’ll definitely want to seal the stenciling or transfers on your furniture. Not only does a topcoat for painting furniture protect the design from wear and tear, but it can also add a beautiful sheen to your piece.
I usually use a waterbased polyurethane to seal my stencils or transfers. If you have the equipment, using a paint sprayer on furniture to apply the topcoat can give your furniture an even smoother finish. Here’s how to spray polyurethane to get the best results.
So there you have it, two easy ways to add beautiful floral designs to your furniture, along with floral painted furniture ideas for inspiration. Are you team stencils or team transfers?
