Faux Finishing
Faux finish painting is a hot trend for interior home decor it has greatly enhanced the look of ordinary rooms to extraordinary looking rooms. It can do wonders to your space. It creates the room and mood of its own, to an otherwise boring look.
Where Can You Do For Finish Painting?
Faux painting techniques can be performed on just about anything. You can’t perform it on drywall, steel, even on glass. You can take a dull ordinary looking window frame and do a “faux painting woodgrain” finish on it. So now, all of a sudden, you have a beautiful window instead of boring plain looking painted window. You can refinish your fireplace mantel and do a “faux painting marble” on that too. This can save you a lot of money and time. You don’t have to buy a new fireplace and you don’t have to hire a stone mason to install it.
Faux Finish Painting Techniques
In some instances you start your finishing the regular way with the base coat of regular latex paint. The second third and fourth and so on consecutive coats are applied in special techniques and materials, which I will talk about a future posts. If you choose to do a wall with some specialized techniques on it, read up on the procedure carefully. Acquire all the necessary materials and the proper tools to perform the specialty finish. I would strongly recommend to experiment on either a large piece of drywall or a wall somewhere that is not important to experiment on. Once you have learnt and experimented with the materials and techniques and you feel comfortable you can perform this application on the wall you choose you can go ahead prepare your new wall. If you’re doing a frame than practice on a piece of wood or something similar to what you’re planning on doing the finish on. Again if you’re comfortable with what you did on the practice piece of wood go ahead and do it on the good peace.
