About Henny Donovan Motif
Motif has been established to showcase and sell the range of exciting up to date stencils from artist, designer and author Henny Donovan. Henny's reputation as the most contemporary stencil designer has grown rapidly - "one of the most fashionable collections around is Motif" - says the Mail on Sunday. Henny's innovation in stencil design has done much to dispell the bad rep of 80's stencils, and her break-through signature range of oversize designs has brought the decorative possibilities of stencilling firmly into 21st century living and design. The Motif website is the only outlet to purchase Henny's original stencils and stencil paints.

Stencil Paints
An extensive palette of 75 up-to-the-minute chalky colours, including soft pastels, muted tones and bright, lively hues - giving a diverse range of colour choices for all types of stencilling projects, so you can mix and match to different colour schemes. These paints are ideal on their own, or make perfect base colours for Metallic Stencil Paints and Glitter Stencil Paints. The Stencil Paints can also be used on fabric, but for a really permanent finish use our Fabric Paints. The Stencil Paints are divided into 12 different colour palettes for ease of reference - to find the colour of your choice click on the colours above in the Paint Box Index, or on one of these links: Whites & Naturals / Yellows & Oranges / Reds / Pinks / Lilacs, Lavender & Purple / Blues / Aquas & Turquoise / Emerald & Sea Greens / Natural Greens / Light Greens / Greys & Charcoal / Browns & Black
Fabric Paints
24 vibrant shades, specifically designed for stencilling and hand painting onto fabric. This paint is perfect for stencilling fabric for curtains, blinds, cushion covers, tablecloths - or T-shirts and jeans and more, giving a fully washable finish.
Metallic Stencil Paints
Our Metallic Stencil Paints will give a lustre and sheen to all stencilling projects. Used on their own they create a subtle, reflective finish, or when used over our Stencil Paints give a deep, rich lustrous effect.
Metallic Interference Paints
Our selection of modern Metallic Interference Paint shades give a two-tone effect metallic paints in five beautiful colourways.
Glitter Stencil Paints
Great crystal colours that really sparkle and shine in turquoise, rose, lilac, gold and more. Glitter Stencil Paints are particularly appropriate for festive decorating projects, but are equally effective for projects where you want to achieve a real metallic finish, as applied densely they have a deep lustre with a highly reflective finish.
Universal Tinters
A useful addition to the stenciller's paint box, Universal Tinters are a highly concentrated water-based colouring agent. They are great for adjusting existing stencil colours to exact project requirements or for creating new colours with paint, varnishes, glazes and other decorative mediums. They can be used to colour both water-based and oil-based products.
Acrylic Varnishes and Mediums
Non-yellowing, water-based acrylic varnishes are ideal for sealing and protecting stencilled areas or matt emulsion on walls. Acrylic Varnishes come in Matt, Eggshell (Satin) and Gloss finishes and can be applied over all water-based (latex) and acrylic paints. Also try Pearl Shimmer Varnish, a pearlescent, metallic over-varnish and slow-set Acrylic Scumble Glaze for waterbased paint effects.
Decorating Equipment
Motif also offers useful tools, materials and equipment for all interior decorators for perfect stencilling - go to Equipment Range to view all equipment and accessories.
