Have you guys seen these patterned paint rollers yet?
I think they are pretty darn neat.
They sure would be a lot faster than a stencil and cheaper than wallpaper.
The Painted House sells the applicators and rollers and they are not too spendy either.
You can pick up the applicator for $16.00 and the roller for $25.00.
So far they sell 4 different patterns.
And you can paint them on a wall, paper, or even fabric.
It looks really easy but I would love to try it out myself.
You can check out The Painted House website for more info on how it works!
So far they sell smaller patterns, I hope they add some larger scale ones too!

So, what do you think?
Would or have you tried a patterned roller?
This is a great idea! I would love to try this one out. The last pattern with the deer is so cute!

Yes, but they ship from the UK, right? Pricey shipping to the US.
True, but when I checked out the shipping it would be about $16.00 for both items. It definitely adds a little cost, but doesn’t seem to unreasonable to me.
It’s ideas like this that make me mad that I couldn’t think of it. lol Thanks for sharing!
LOVING!
I am just wondering how you make sure that you roll in a nice way upside-down? I mean that the patterns are paralell and not over each other. Any ideas?

I haven’t ever used it myself, but they have a website with instructions.

Combining rubber stamps and paint rollers… Brilliant! Why didn’t I think of this?!
Very cool idea! I would love to try this at home would look cute in my boys bedroom. Yels x

But does it work on textured walls? Nothing seems to work on textured walls!
Love the idea*

Danielle.. my dad owned a company when I was a little girl that he painted homes with this same roller technique.. My mom still has all the boxes of rollers and trays. He had tons of different rollers some that were wide and some that were narrow to do borders. It was so cool.. He named his company Liquid Wallpaper and he used to go all around Lethbridge painting walls for folks. So amazing.
Whoa, what an ingenious idea. It’s like a stencil and you don’t have to worry about making sure your stencil is straight. And it’s a great alternative to wallpaper.
These are awesome! I would love to do this on one wall in my powder room. My only concern is that it requires a higher skill level than it appears. Do you know how difficult this is to do? Seems like you would need to be an experienced/expert painter which I am not. 🙂
my dad did lots of practicing. we had a fake wall that he used over and over as he learned to line it up and keep it steady. but after some practice he became very good at it. we had different patterns all over the house in each room. Sometimes he did tri-color patterns with his divided trays.. so cool. Just takes some practise to keep a steady hand all the way from the top of the wall to the bottom and how to not overlap but to go right beside the last pattern.
i bought one of those a few years ago from rollerwall, which has dozens of patterns. they actually discontinued my pattern while i was thinking about it and it was two years before it was back in stock:

still haven’t used it. found a demo of my pattern here and it doesn’t look so easy. several practice runs on a roll of paper seems prudent:

This is a great idea! I would love to try this one out.

I’d love to try these, I bet it would be a bit hard to get the hang of it at first, but once you did, think of the possibilities! Happy Holidays Danielle! Janell
