Faux Finish Trends for 2009

Faux is in! Redecorating and renovating are huge right now but big budgets are out, leaving homeowners to look for a way to get big results with a little amount of money.  Faux painting is the perfect solution to the problem.  Here are some of the faux finish trends for this year.

  • Suede- this look warms up a room and is an amazing effect for walls. Since olive green is in this year, an olive green suede wall could look amazing.
  • Faux Fabric- the linen faux finish gives any room that subtle, warm look. A difficult finish to master but professionals can give you a room with this interesting finish to make any room special.
  • Distressing- creating an aged look has been popular for quite some times and will always be around, especially with kitchen cabinets.
  • Candlelight- this style uses a specialty topcoat and mimics the glow of candlelight on walls.  It is a beautiful, elegant choice that is hot this year.

If you are interested in redecorating your space to get big results while not emptying your wallet, contact The Faux Pro and we can discuss finishes including Venetian plaster, glazing, marbling, wood graining, textures, Italian plasters, gilding, custom stencils, masking patterns, trompe l’oeil and many other forms of decorative and faux painting.
