How to Create a Herringbone Stenciled Wall Like Restaurant Impossible

Isn’t this Herringbone Wall absolutely amazing? If you want to know how to create a herringbone stenciled wall like the one featured in Restaurant Impossible at the Double H Ranch you’ve come to the right place. I was privileged enough to be asked to help on Restaurant Impossible’s Holiday episode. I can’t wait to share with you how we created this Herringbone Wall!

.

This Herringbone stenciled walls turned out amazing. I can’t tell you how proud I am of how this project turned out. The bright colors created such an impact in this corner. A huge thank you to Royal Design Studio for providing us the stencils and stencil brushes for this project.

Herringbone Stencil

stencil brushes

Stencil Ease Re-positionable stencil adhesive from Amazon.com or any local craft store should have it in stock

Laser level or chalk line from your tool box

 

The stencil we used is “Herringbone Shuffle” stencil by Royal Design Studio. It is a single overlay stencil that is super easy to use. It also comes with a ceiling filler which makes the ceiling work much easier to do.

Tip:  If you are new to stenciling, I would suggest using no more than 5 paint colors.  8 paint colors was a lot to keep track of.

And there it is…the first stencil pattern going up. There is no going back now! lol  One stencil down…100 to go!!!

Herringbone Wall Instructions

We kept our lines straight by using a Craftman laser level. You could also use a chalk line and mark off the walls ahead of time.

I want to thank my 2 partners-in-crime, Lori Pierce & Kristi Wyckoff for doing such an amazing job on these walls. I couldn’t have done it without these two! Well I could have but it would not have been fun! {smile}

Here is one last glimpse of this amazing room. I love everything about it. I love the bright colors; the herringbone patterned stencil; the new chairs; the wall decals and the artwork in the corner. Don’t blink…there are so many little details that make such a statement.
