Give tired floors a completely new look
A stenciled floor can give you the look of custom tile or a designer finish. Here’s why it’s worth trying.
-
Budget-friendly: Stenciling can cost less than replacing a floor with new tile, since you can refresh an existing surface with paint and a reusable stencil.
-
Durable finish: Proper surface preparation, compatible paint, and a protective top coat can help a stenciled floor hold up to everyday foot traffic.
-
Reusable: Each stencil can be cleaned and reused for another section of the same floor or saved for a future project.
-
Easy pattern alignment: Many repeating designs include registration marks to help you line up each repeat as you work across the surface.
Explore popular floor stencils for every space
Different surfaces can produce different results, so we've grouped our most popular designs by where they work best. Find your space below to see which stencils fit.
1. Wood floors
Wood floors take a stenciled pattern beautifully, especially in an entryway or a room where you want the look of inlaid tile without replacing the actual flooring. The Black Diamond pattern is one option for wood floors, with a bold geometric pattern that creates a strong contrast against painted or natural wood tones.
2. Tile floors
For tiled bathroom, kitchen, and entryway floors, tile stencils such as Corinna Floral design and Stardust design can refresh an existing surface without removing the tile. These designs can also be useful for painting tiles on backsplashes and other suitable tiled surfaces.
3. Concrete floors
Concrete floors can be transformed with bold, repeating patterns. The Nagoya design and Medina patio design offer geometric designs that work well for creating a decorative concrete floor.
4. Front porches and patios
Large patio stencil designs work especially well on outdoor concrete porches and patios. The Penelope patio design, Roses design, and Segovia patio designs are among the most popular for transforming a plain concrete porch or patio into a decorative surface with the look of patterned tile.
5. Decks
Wood decks can also be stenciled. The Tea House Patio design, for example, is designed at a larger scale that can work well across larger outdoor surfaces such as decks.

Find the right stencil for your patio floor
With so many patterns and sizes to choose from, finding the right stencil comes down to a few simple factors. Here's what to consider before you buy.
1. Choose durable material
Choose a durable, laser-cut Mylar stencil that is at least 10 mil thick, so it lays flat against the surface and is easily washable for reuse.
2. Match the stencil dimensions to your space
Match the stencil dimensions to your floor size, opting for smaller 12 x 12 or 16 x 16 inch designs for a repeating tile appearance in bathrooms and entryways.
3. Look for built-in registration marks
Select a stencil with built-in registration marks to ensure your lines stay perfectly straight across a wide floor.
4. Hide flaws with the right pattern
Hide concrete flaws and surface imperfections by choosing a busier pattern like Moroccan tile design or Portuguese tile designs.
5. Mimic premium materials on a budget
Mimic the look of premium materials on a budget by choosing stencils shaped like cobblestone, flagstone, or brick pavers for porches, patios, and outdoor surfaces.
6. Complement your furniture and style
Complement modern furniture by looking for clean, minimalist lines or simple Nordic shapes.
