PAINTING SERVICES - FAUX FINISHING |
Painting introduces an endless amount of possibilities to change the appearance of your interior space. Faux finishing takes that to a whole other level. Faux finishing is a special technique used in order to achieve a custom pattern of paint application. It has become extremely popular during the last decade especially in urban areas such as Manhattan. This unique finishing technique allows the artist an unlimited amount of styles and patterns to work with. The basic concept is to apply one base coat in a uniform color and than set the tone with the glaze coats. The glaze coats are a different color, which when applied is added as a second or third color to the base coat. Depending on the artist's style and the application method, the texture is decided. You can use different techniques and tools that are more common such as sponging, combing, ragging, and brush strokes or create your own individual texture. One of the most popular applications in New York City is called Venetian Plaster. This application, which was very common in Italy beginning in the 19 th Century, is a local favorite because it creates a marble look and a smooth polished feel. When faux finishing, the only limit is your imagination. You can use it throughout an entire space or only highlight one small section such as a kitchen back-plash. MyHome's faux finishing artists have all the tools, skills and experience to use faux finishing in order to turn your dream into a reality.
