Faux finishing is a home design technique that allows you to go one step beyond traditional wall coverings, such as paint or wallpaper, and create surfaces that resemble everything from marble to old-fashioned plaster. “Faux finishing allows individuals to be artists on their own walls,” says Rick Watson, director of product information and technical services at Sherwin-Williams. “There are more faux finish options available than ever before.”
Watson says Sherwin-Williams is seeing a lot of glazes, Venetian plaster and metallic finishes gaining in popularity.
