What Are Faux Finishes?
Faux finishing is the art of using paint and glaze to replicate the appearance of high-end materials such as marble, stone, wood, plaster, concrete, and metal. These finishes add dimension and upscale style — without the cost of real materials.
Faux finishes are perfect for:
- Living rooms
- Dining rooms
- Accent walls
- Niches and columns
- Ceilings
- Fireplace surrounds
- Kitchen and bathroom spaces
- Commercial interiors
