Faux Finishes

Faux finishes are valuable decorating backdrops, which add personality, character, warmth, and a sense of time and age, pulling your accents and furnishings together beautifully.

The French term ‘faux’ means false or fake. In speaking of painted faux finishes, this would include faux stone, marble, bois (wood), suede, linen and leather. The term has also been used to include other special paint techniques such as sponging, ragging, combing, and color washing.
