What Are Common Faux Finish Techniques?
Faux finishing, sometimes called faux painting, is a way of painting a wall or other object such that it looks as though it is made of a different material or that it something else altogether. For instance, there are faux finish techniques that create the look of wood, marble, and a wide variety of other textures. Other faux finish techniques actually paint murals of different items, such as bricks, in order to create the desired effect. Most faux finish techniques aim to create patterns in a regular way, and may involve applying a textured item to the wall or creating a design that appears natural by hand. Those that require actual reproduction of an image, such as a window, will be more difficult to complete because these items must be painted like pictures.
