Faux Finishes

C&N Painting and Cleaning would love to spice up a plain room of your home with a fabulous faux finish! Faux finishes, are, of course, not the real thing, but they’re a much less expensive way of changing the entire look of a room. You can make it appear cozier, more luxurious, or like it’s from another time entirely! The possibilities are endless with our wide array of faux finishes.  
You’ve probably heard that painting is the easiest way to change the appearance of a room. Faux finishes take up a notch! Here are a few of the faux finishes we can create within your home or business:  

• Venetian Plaster 

Venetian plaster is a great technique because it has a subtle texture. Real Venetian plaster requires layers of plaster to be applied one at a time after the previous layer has dried. It’s laborious and time-consuming, and only master craftspeople can achieve near-perfect results.  

• Artisan Finish 

An artisan finish will give your walls the appearance of marble or stone without all that extra weight or expense. Artisan finish works well in small areas like fireplaces or mantles, where it really packs a punch and will draw everyone’s attention.  

• Metallic Paint or Plaster 

Metals are the material of the moment. Now, you can use a metallic paint or plaster to achieve a cool, trendy look without completely remodeling your house. When you get tired of the metallic look, it will be easy to prime and paint over.  

• Manda Mudd 

Plaster used to be a common alternative to drywall faux finish. You don’t see it in new homes much anymore, but we can recreate this look for you with Manda Mudd’s premium plaster wall finish. It provides rich color and great texture to flat walls.  

• Sandstone 

Sandstone is exactly what you might guess. It’s a gritty texture applied to walls that gives them a rough feeling. It’s a simple, fast texture to apply if you’re looking for a quick change that will give your room an added dimension of warmth and visual interest.  

• Texture Sand 

Texture sand is similar to sandstone, but it tends to be rougher, and most of these products go on in two steps instead of one. The sand incorporated into the paint reflects light, adding depth to the walls. It’s a great choice for just about any size room and any type of home.  

• Brushed Suede 

Few things compare to the luxurious feeling of suede. The application is a little tricky, but your C&N Painting and Cleaning team knows exactly how to achieve the look and feel of suede on your walls. We can advise you about where to apply this technique, since it tends to be more delicate than some other faux finishes.
