ABOUT STENCIL ME PRETTY
Stencil Me Pretty began the way many family stories do—not with ambition, but with nostalgia. A single design laid out on a kitchen table, a tired wall waiting patiently for its second life, and a question that felt deceptively simple: How do you make a room speak the language of the memories you want to live with?
Nostalgia became the material we worked with long before paint ever touched a wall. We learned quickly that a stencil isn’t merely a decorative device; it’s a way of conjuring a feeling you thought you’d lost. Every design holds a story, every pattern carries traces of human history—layers of culture, aesthetic traditions, and the small, stubborn beauties that survive the passing of years.
We wanted to create environments that felt full: not cluttered, but meaningful. Not loud, but resonant. And in the process, we discovered stencils—those democratic little miracles that let anyone breathe intention back into their home.
When Behance named us the #1 designer of flower stencils in 2024, it wasn’t just an industry nod; it was an acknowledgment of the sensibility behind the work. The judges weren’t responding to trends—they were responding to that unmistakable pulse of familiarity and longing in the designs.
Other honors followed:
• Julia Morgan Awards (2016) for classical and traditional excellence.
• 5280 Home and LUXE Red Awards (2018) for residential design rooted in charm and craftsmanship.
• IIDA Calibre Awards (2020) for contributing to polished, collaborative commercial spaces.
• Best of Houzz (2021) for the endorsement that matters most: homeowners choosing what they trust.
A FAMILY STORY
Stencil Me Pretty was born in 2015 as a small act of courage by Hossein—a solo entrepreneur at the time, armed mostly with determination and a stubborn love of pattern. But the true co-founder was six years old.
His daughter, Fatimah, had an uncanny instinct for beauty, the kind that can’t be taught. She would march into the room with grand artistic propositions—“The company should make something like this!”—and, more often than not, those ideas materialized as real products.
Years later, she’s still the quiet muse behind the brand, still walking in with sketches and half-formed visions that somehow point true north. She is the reminder that design, at its best, is collaborative, playful, and familial.
A leader in custom stencil design and production in the US
WHY CUSTOM STENCILS, AND WHY US? A stencil is a small act of authorship.
It lets you decide what your walls remember and what they forget. It invites you to participate—to lift the stencil, reveal the pattern, and see your home become more yours than it was the day before.
Our designs are built for that moment. They’re precise, intentional, and quietly layered with the echoes of places and eras that still feel strangely close: the warmth of an old French shopfront, the geometry of Persian tilework, the vegetal flourishes of Victorian parlors, the curves and flourishes your grandmother would have recognized instantly.
Nostalgia is the main ingredient, but craftsmanship is the method. And the combination seems to work. Time and again, homeowners tell us what the awards only hint at: that the designs feel alive—as though they’ve stepped out of memory and onto the wall.
THE HEART OF THE BRAND
Stencil Me Pretty is, at its core, a studio devoted to memory—its textures, its patterns, its comfort. The work may be meticulous, but the purpose is simple: to help people transform the places they live into places they love.
Because a stencil is never just a pattern.
It’s the feeling you meant to keep.
