Faux Finishing

Faux finishing is the art of preparation and finishing a surface to give it texture, polish and an enhanced appearance. Italian plastering is the external application of texture from distinct graduated colors to rough finishes to create spectacular effects.

BedroomThe word “faux” actually means false, and refers to the technique of making one material look like another. For example, a fiberglass column made to look like marble, or a plain sheet rock wall made to look like stucco. Regarding decorative painting, it is creating artistic finishes for surfaces that mimic many things such as wood, leather, stone, and many more.

Originating from the Roman empire, the artistry of faux finishing and Italian plastering is now made possible in your very own home so you can have the luxury and indulgences that have been sought after by artisans throughout the world.

LivingroomFrom bare walls, rooms, kitchens to hallways, boring, old and new, we can create the perfect atmostphere that suits your style - and your budget - with the valleys of Tuscany, a cozy rustic retreat, or a sleek contemporary loft.

So allow me to bring all that beauty into your home and into your life.
