3 Ideas for Faux Painting Los Angeles

Posted on September 30, 2021

Are you looking for a way to add beauty and sophistication to your home? Faux style painting can do that for you. If you have never faux painted your home before, you may not know what you want or what would look best in your space. But there is no need to worry! CertaPro Painters is here to help. In this article, we’ll discuss what exactly faux painting is and the three faux painting trends we’re on board with.

What is Faux Painting?

Faux and decorative painting uses a variety of paints to achieve the desired look. Most faux painting techniques combine a flat base color with a matching glaze, which creates a different effect depending on what you use to apply it. Various tools are used like brushes, rags, sponges, and rollers, depending on the final effect.

If you are looking for a different type of look in your home, this type of paint may be the solution for you! To help you decide, we have listed on three favorite options. Here are three of our top faux painting ideas:

Marbleizing

Marbleizing is a combination of glazing and delicate brushwork that replicates natural marble. The process involved adding blobs of different shades to the surface and then adding in the marble veins. Homeowners like this type of painting because it ands depth and sophistication to a surface.

Graining

Graining is the process of replicating the texture of wood grain. Wood has become increasingly popular the last few years. It can be costly to buy true wooden pieces, especially with the price of lumber going up. Instead, make your own wood furniture and flooring with faux painting!

Color Wash

Color wash faux painting refers to a layer of colored glaze creating a multi-tonal textured effect. It is the most popular faux painting technique. This is because homeowners love the way the base coat can shine through while also providing a unique look. If you are on a budget, this is also a fairly easy DIY project!
