FAUX FINISHES

Working with designers, decorators and directly with the client, a compilation of information defines the needs to be filled by the artist. Looking at a swatch or sample board and then seeing a photo of a completed space done in that technique can make the difference in choice of finish, colour depth and of course style. The choice of style, bright and bold to soft and dreamlike, allows a custom approach to each contract. No one else will have the same completed design.

With today’s products that can imitate any finish from old world to high tech, the transformation depends not only on the artist’s skill but also on an understanding of what chemical reactions products have with each other. With that information, stone, wood, metal, marble, or any custom finish can be duplicated. Clear, tough protective coatings make faux finishes realistic, even in high traffic areas. Think out of the box and the possibilities are endless.
