Add character and charm to an otherwise plain ceiling with medallion stencils or mandala stencils around your light fixture, or border stencils to create hand-painted crown molding. A simple and beautiful way to make any room pop!
Consider painting your ceilings 2-3 shades lighter than your walls instead of defaulting to “ceiling white”. Then choose an accent color to add decorative stencil elements such as Stenciled Medallion or Mandala Stencil around your light fixture. Click here for How-to Stencil Tutorials.

Add a stunning focal point around light fixtures and chandeliers

Popular Ceiling Stencil Styles
Whether you're drawn to timeless elegance or contemporary patterns, our collection has something for every aesthetic.
Medallion & Mandala Stencils: Perfect for framing light fixtures, our floral medallion stencil and boho mandala designs create eye-catching centerpieces that mimic the look of carved rosettes and ceiling roses. The Parisian Medallion and Celtic Medallion are especially popular for dining rooms and entryways.
Border Stencils: Our shell tile border and Greek Key designs let you paint the look of decorative crown molding or chair rail trim right onto your ceiling edge. The large lattice stencil works beautifully as a repeating border or can cover an entire ceiling for a trellis effect.
Accent Stencils: For subtle touches, smaller accent designs like the Essex Medallion or Acacia Ikat add just the right amount of detail around vents, smoke detectors, or smaller light fixtures.
Tips for Stunning Results
Here's a designer secret: instead of defaulting to plain white, try painting your ceiling 2-3 shades lighter than your walls. This creates a softer, more cohesive look. Then choose a coordinating or contrasting accent color for your stencil work. The results can be stunning!
Our house ceiling stencils are designed to be beginner-friendly. The durable mylar material lies flat against the surface, and registration marks help you align repeating patterns perfectly. Most projects can be completed in a single afternoon with basic supplies like a stencil brush or small foam roller, painter's tape, and acrylic paint.
