Tuscan Fleur De Lis Wall Decor

Stencils

Stencils are an easy way to incorporate a Tuscan fleur de lis on your wall. You can find ready-made stencils that feature the design at your local craft store in a variety of sizes and patterns. If you want to create an accent wall, look for a large fleur de lis stencil and center it near the top of the wall. For a delicate look, opt for smaller stencils and use them to create a border along the top of the walls. You can also stencil a fleur de lis chair rail in the center of the wall for added decorate interest. In a Tuscan-styled room, the walls are typically a warm shade of terracotta, gold or red, so use a darker paint for the fleur de lis stencils, such as black or chocolate brown. For a contrasting look, you can also use cool shades such as blue or green.

For an even easier Tuscan fleur de lis border along your walls, use a wallpaper border. You should find several options when it comes to patterns that feature the fleur de lis. Opt for a design that has a warm, earthy color palette to match the Tuscan color scheme in the rest of the room. You may even find wallpaper that mimics the look of textured walls, which are a staple in Tuscan design. As with the stencils, you do not have to use a fleur de lis wallpaper border only at the top or bottom of the wall. You can hang it in the center of the wall to mimic the look of a chair rail as well.

Because Tuscan decor makes use of natural materials to create a rustic, old-world feel, metal elements are often incorporated. You can find attractive metal plaques in the fleur de lis shape that are ideal for a Tuscan-inspired room. They are typically made of wrought iron and come in a variety of sizes. If you opt for a larger plaque, you can hang it by itself on the wall above a fireplace, sofa, or other large item in the room. However, you may also choose a series of small fleur de lis plaques and create a grouping of them in an area where a smaller scale is required.

Another attractive option when it comes to Tuscan fleur de lis wall decor are wooden panels painted with the image. You can find panels that make use of a warm color palette that is ideal for the Tuscan style, and may even find panels with a distressed appearance that gives them an old-world feel. Because they come in a variety of sizes, you can opt for a single large panel or place a series of panels together. If you use square panels, you can arrange them in rows to create a tiled effect for the wall.
