What is faux painting?

Faux painting (or faux finishing) usually refers to illusionistic painting on the walls of a room.





For instance, if a room is just drywall but you'd like to make it look like marble without actually putting marble slabs on the wall, you would faux paint a marble-like texture using paint only onto the wall to make it appear as if the wall was made of marble. This can be done to replicate any texture desired such as wood, metal, leather, etc.What is faux painting?

Faux painting is a fake or inexpensive way to paint/decorate without spending a huge amount of money to get professional looking results. You can make your wall look like suede/leather without putting suede/leather on them, marble, stone, brick, crackle, wood, textured, etc. You can also make them look more dimensional with layers of colors. Using a ragging technique or stipple effect. You can also paint things on your walls to make it look like something is there but isn't. Like a window or a cabinet. This is called Trompe L'oeil which means to fool the eye. I hope I helped.
