As we continue to look at the traditional and modern types of wall finishes (previously covering wallpaper and painted plaster), we will take a look at the popular styles of faux finishes. We want to take this opportunity to emphasize how much the proper finish or faux application can add depth and character to any private or professional space; the interior of a business (and the condition of the structure as a whole) tells the public just as much about your company and your attention to detail as does a website or a branding program.
Communicate A Feeling with Faux Finishes
Faux finishes have gained an immense popularity in the last decade for both home and business uses thanks to a variety of applications and mixes. The versatility of this wall finish allows it to be used to create textures ranging from sand blasted, translucent, leather, and even a cracked oil painting-style look. Other popular looks include metallic and a weather-worn wood. Applied properly, faux finishes can transform any interior space from bland and corporate to intimate and intriguing, communicating the feel of your business in the common spaces.
Faux Finish Maintenance & Professional Assistance
Cleaning and minor repairs of these finishes is also easier than with wallpaper. While all of the transformative looks discussed can be done yourself, it is highly recommended to hire a professional interior designer to accomplish these tasks in the most efficient and desirable manner possible. Some of the faux finishes do require a familiarity with various types of application and can be very detailed in their execution. The confidence that your efforts will result in the desired effect is well worth discussing your options with an interior design professional. In our next blog entry, we will discuss repairs and maintenance of your wall finishes.
