Texture / Faux Finish

Faux finishing is a painting technique used to create the illusion of texture on a wall. Most faux finishing is applying one or more accent colors over a base color. This technique usually requires several applications over several days.

There are many advantages applying faux finishes over conventional wall finishes like wallpaper, paint, paneling etc. It can be applied to almost all surfaces, including dry wall, sheet rock, plastering, wood, metal, fabric, glass, and ceramic. Faux Finish can hide the imperfections of the any surface. Faux Finish can change how large or small a room looks.
