Faux finishing, or decorative painting, is the process of applying multiple layers of interior house paint and glaze to craft a textured or photorealistic pattern, such as wood grain, marbling, a cloudscape, and onward to more complex murals and trompe l’oeil. Most of the other faux-painting titles in the market focus on either room shots *or* finished paint swatches but do not successfully evoke both inspirational and hard-working images. Designer Faux Finishing fills that empty niche. The room designs in Designer Faux Finishing will inspire homeowners to transform their homes into leather-worn libraries, ancient grottos or French streetscapes with just a little help from paint. Each image shows a faux treatment within the context of interior color, design, and lighting, enabling readers to make design decisions when working on their own or with interior designers. Twenty of these photos feature tutorials that deconstruct the techniques used and instruct readers on the nuances of replicating those looks in their homes.

"Twelve brand-spanking-new techniques and a bunch of old favorites (sponging and ragging, to name just two). What's novel? An unusual combination of spackle and paint and faint swirls of Miro-esque colors against solid-hued walls. A definite plus are extensive directions, not only for each technique but also for questions about color, preparation, and equipment. Good close-up color photographs make this instructional text even more valuable. Work checklist, glossary, and metric equivalents appended.""--Booklist. ""Good for public libraries."--"Library Journal. "
