On this page we will give you an idea of some of the many types of Faux
Finishes available and link to photos of some of our own work. We will
continue to add examples and suggestions as we have time and opportunity.
If you would like to try some of these for yourself, visit our
favorite supply and training site at Faux
Like a Pro. Or, if you would like to have the work done by a pro, give
us a call for a free estimate.
- Sponging
-
Sponging is a relatively easy way to add some life to your walls
and freshen up virtually any room in the house. Can also be used on
cabinets, fireplace mantles, or any other area you would like to
highlight.
- Ragging
-
Ragging is similar to sponging but with a different effect. Useful
in the same areas, but slightly more difficult to accomplish.
- Marbleizing
-
Marbleizing uses a variety of techniques and colors to achieve the
look of real stone.
- Wood Graining
-
Also known as Faux Bois. Wood graining can be done in just a few
simple steps to achieve a stylistic effect, or with care and artistry
to give the look of virtually any type of wood.
- Venetian Plaster
-
Venetian plaster is a coating applied with a trowel to look like
old Italian plaster. Can be rough and dull giving an aged effect, or
burnished to a brilliant shine to look like polished stone.
Metallic Finishes & Patinas
There are a variety of metal finishes that can be applied to almost any
surface. These can be made to look like brightly polished gold or silver,
tarnished brass, or given a green patina like old copper.
