10 Dizzy Duck Stenciled Patios of 2020

2020 will be a year we all remember and look back on with mixed emotions. The world was floored by a pandemic and everything just stopped. People were isolated and lonely, small businesses had to fight to survive, and too many of us lost loved ones.

But for some of us lock down was a blessing in disguise. We had more quality time with our families, life slowed right down, and we had gloriously hot weather that summer. 

Us Brits were stuck at home while the sun was high and the days were long, so we looked to our neglected outdoor spaces to get our hit of vitamin D.  

Affordable DIY decor was at an all time high, everyone wanted to make the best of their gardens on a small budget, and stenciled patios became the biggest trend! Much to our delight.

We love how Catherine used a bigger stencil size to create the illusion of larger tiles, if you look closely you can see how the pattern actually sits across 9 small tiles.

We love how Wendy used masking tape to create faux grout lines on her large patio slabs, it really makes her stenciled tiles look more authentic.
