Faux Finish Painting

FauxFinishWhat was old is now new and modern.

A painting technique found in older homes and historic structures, faux finishes creates the illusion of a surface, without expensive materials needing to be installed: marble, wood grain, leather, tortoise shell, and other organic materials, to name a few. To do this, M. Brett’s skilled team of house painters applies colored glaze to a wall, and then breaks it up with a sponge, cloth, or brush.

In both modern times and in the past, this technique gained popularity for a few reasons. One, it allows for an elegant, stunning space without spending excessive amounts on wood, stone, or fabric. Two, paint transforms the character of a room, and with a faux finish, your flat-seeming space suddenly has depth. It’s longer or smaller to your specifications – and, not to mention, more artistic looking – without new construction needed.

M. Brett’s experienced painters can create an array of stunning effects in a reasonable amount of time:

  • Multi-dimensional softness
  • Harlequin
  • Venetian plaster
  • Chalkboard paint
  • Checkerboard
  • Color washing
  • Fresco
  • Dry brushing
  • Reflections
  • Glitter
  • Sponging
  • Texture
  • Stripes
  • Ragging
