Is stenciling a little bit arts and crafts? Like, I used to be friends with this “fine art” painter who wouldn’t show his work at the local artisan markets because they were too “arts and crafts” for him. For a while, I think stencils went the way of sponge painting, but they’re back now, and modern wall stencils are better than before. Have a look at these beauties.

I love this elegant allover chain link design wall stencil by Royal Design Studio.

The Hollywood Squares Stencil by Royal Design Studio is an instant dose of mod packed into a wall stencil.

Can't afford that Marimekko Kaiku wall hanging? This $56 stencil from Olive Leaf Stencils is reminiscent of it.

Is the Navajo Blackrock Motif stencil by Henny Donovan cultural appropriation? I hope that it isn't, because I really like it.

A big, bold, repeating oversize damask wall stencil in mod colors is chic and affordable.

Any of these modern wall stencils will add a distinctly on-trend vibe to your home decor. And the choice is yours -- DIY or hire a professional painter to stencil your walls for you.
