Faux finishing in home design

  • Housetrends
Wall treatment softens a master bathroom
The natural texture of leaves in the Leaf technique from Sherwin-Williams softens the contemporary design of this master bathroom.

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. 

Kitchen design showcases an accent wall

The High Polish Fresco technique from Sherwin-Williams, used to create an accent wall in this gourmet kitchen, mimics the smooth sheen of architectural stone.

Interior gets a sophisticated shimmer

The Brushed Metallic technique from Sherwin-Williams offers subtle texture and shimmer. It is the perfect addition to create soothing ambiance in a master bedroom.
