• Camouflaging Imperfections: Faux painting can cleverly disguise imperfections on your walls, such as cracks or uneven surfaces, providing a flawless, smooth finish.
• Enhances Lighting and Space Perception: Certain faux finishes can manipulate light and create optical illusions, making a room appear larger, cozier, or more spacious.
• Quick Turnaround Time: Faux painting projects typically have shorter completion times than extensive renovations.
• Cost-Effective Elegance: Faux painting provides a cost-effective way to achieve a luxurious look. Hence, you don’t have to put too much of your hard-earned money into getting this art done on your walls.

Faux Finishes

We master a range of faux finishes, including wood, metallic, marble, and more. Our skilled artisans meticulously recreate these materials’ texture, color, and appearance.

Types of Faux Finishes

Wood Grain Finish:  This technique replicates the look of different wood types, from oak to walnut. Ideal for furniture or cabinetry, it provides a warm, natural ambiance to any space.

Marble Finish:  Marble finish gives surfaces the elegance of real marble. It’s perfect for achieving a luxurious and timeless aesthetic in spaces like bathrooms and countertops.

Metallic Finish:  Metallic finishes emulate the appearance of metals like copper, gold, or silver. They add a modern, sleek touch to surfaces, often seen in contemporary interior designs.

Suede or Leather Finish:  This finish creates a soft, textured surface resembling suede or leather. It’s excellent for adding a touch of luxury to accent walls or furniture.

Venetian Plaster Finish:  Venetian plaster is a smooth, polished finish that imitates the look of polished marble. It depicts sophistication and works well in both classic and modern interior settings.

Concrete Finish:  Concrete finishes provide an industrial, urban look. They are versatile and range from raw concrete to a more refined, polished appearance.

Dragged or Stria Finish:  Achieved by dragging a brush through wet glaze or paint, this finish creates fine, streaked lines. It’s great for adding subtle texture to walls and creating a sense of movement.

Rag Rolling Finish:  As the name suggests, rag rolling involves applying glaze or paint with a rag to create a textured effect. It adds depth and interest to the walls, offering a rustic or weathered appearance.

Texture Application

Texture application is an art form in itself. Our experts apply various techniques to create textures that suit your taste and complement your décor, adding a tactile dimension to your walls and ceilings.

Here are a few textures you can apply on your wall: 

Comb texture:  Comb texture creates ridges and grooves resembling comb marks, achieved by dragging a notched tool through wet plaster or mud.

Knockdown texture:  Knockdown texture starts with an orange peel texture and is then flattened using a trowel, resulting in a smoother surface with a gentle mottled appearance.

Orange peel texture:  Orange peel texture mimics the dimpled surface of an orange peel, achieved by spraying a drywall compound mixture onto the surface.

Slap brush texture:  Slap brush texture uses a stippling brush or stomp brush, creating irregular patterns and a slightly raised, artistic appearance by gently slapping or stomping the mixture onto the surface.

Popcorn Texture (Acoustic Ceiling Texture):  Popcorn texture, also known as acoustic or cottage cheese texture, creates a bumpy, lumpy surface resembling popcorn. It’s often used on ceilings to absorb sound and hide imperfections.

Sand Swirl Texture:  Sand swirl texture is created using a roller with a thick-nap cover. It involves rolling a thinned joint compound onto the surface and then swirling it with a brush or broom, creating a sandy, textured appearance.

Murals are an excellent way to infuse creativity and artistry into your space. Our mural painting services allow you to choose from a wide array of themes and designs or bring your unique vision to life with a custom mural.
