Application:
Prepare your surface by cleaning and ensuring it's smooth and dry. Apply an even layer of your preferred decoupage medium- we love DIY Paint Liquid Patina or Wise Owl Varnish. Carefully position paper and gently smooth from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles and wrinkles. Apply additional medium over the top to seal, working gently to avoid tearing.
Design Vision:
This romantic imagery pairs beautifully with vintage, cottage-core, and elegant interiors. The soft, dreamy palette and classical composition work especially well on bedroom furniture, creating spaces that feel refined and timeless. Layer with distressed finishes or pair with soft neutrals for sophisticated results.
The Ophelia Story:
Inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, Lefebvre's Ophelia depicts the tragic heroine with classical grace and romantic sensibility - a timeless symbol of beauty and poetic melancholy. This design brings literary romance and French academic artistry to your DIY creations. 051
