Here are some ideas that patterned paint roller may interest you to paint your home items.

For the cabinet: Choose the decorative paint rollers with the patterns that you like best and suitable with your house/ room. Then, roll the patterned paint roller on the surface of the cabinet, allow it to dry. If you want to paint the background of the cabinet, you should paint the background first, and then print the patterns by design rollers (the patterned paint rollers).
For the kitchen: Match the colors of the room walls with the paint roller patterns that you will be painted on the surface of the kitchen. You should divide sections once painting the patterns by the paint stencil rollers (2 parts – counter tops and cabinets). Paint the patterns each counter top and cabinet to make sure the design printing on the surface is leveling. You can make reference to the decorating method for the cabinet which I listed above.
For the shelves: Up to the size of the shelves which you choose the suitable patterns. And the colors should be matched with the owner’s character or age. You only use the patterned paint rollers to paint the layer at the back of the shelves (wall inside the shelves). If you like the shelves at the same colors as well as patterns, you can use the patterned paint rollers to paint whole the shelves.
For the small stools: Thinking of the room with unique things inside, you can style your stuff by print the patterns on the layer of stools. Each stool has its style which will make your room/house quite special.
For the room divisions: The room division helps your room to save and open space. The thing you need to do is “making the room divisions different from the others.” No need to hire the artist to draw or carve on the surface of the room division, you only use the special and convenient tool called “the ?paint roller” to bring the patterns that you want to the wall division.
For shoe shelves: Everyone need shelves for storing their shoes. A little bit decorating will help your shoes shelves more fashionable and modern. Your guests surely give you a high appreciation once they see your unique shelves in the corner of the room. Like the general shelves, you can print the pattern roller paint on the back of the shelves. Thus, follow the method of painting the patterns on shelves above or you can print the patterns on those sides of shelves and its back just be painted the simple color.Style your style, style your house and enjoy the new space!

The patterned paint roller slip on the wall surface
To avoid the patterned paint roller slip on the wall surface, you shouldn’t paint the background too glossy because it is difficult for the patterns to print on the wall surface with the glossy background. If you have already painted the background with the glossy layer, you should roll the soft pattern design paint roller slowly to make sure all patterns printed tightly.

In a case of your patterns on the wall surface are dirtily blur; you should roll the patterned paint roller on the A4 sized paper first to get used to working with the roller. Do it three times before using the patterned paint roller on the wall surface. Almost people who use the patterned paint roller at the first time, meet this situation because of their hands aren’t used to working with the patterned paint rollers.
Bad quality of paint
The patterns on your wall surface aren’t as beautiful as the patterns as you find out on the wall samples or in the category.
