Before
A Faux Finish is a wallcovering technique utilizing paint, specialty glazes or applications, a variety of decorative artists tools and many steps and processes.
The word Faux in French means 'fake' or 'false; thus the Faux Finish gives the illusion of something that is either expensive, difficult to replicate, or created to look like something else.
For example, a Venetion Plaster in the right color scheme can be applied to your wall to create the look of marble. Or a wall can have the illusion of a textured wallpaper such as with the Leaf teqhnique. Leather or Suede are a few popular looks to add depth and demension to your room.
The dramatic appearance of crackle takes on the characteristics of aged metal patina. Tissue Paper from afar has a subtle texture, however, it gives way to a stucco or cement appearance.
