Faux Finishing

Create Distinctive Spaces with Custom Artisanal Finishes

The difference between an ordinary room and an extraordinary one often lies in the details. At Deco Style, we specialize in transforming standard walls and surfaces into distinctive design elements through our expert faux finishing services. Throughout Greater NYC and Long Island, our skilled artisans create custom decorative treatments that add depth, texture, and visual interest to residential and commercial spaces.

Whether you're seeking the timeless luxury of marble without the weight and cost, the warmth of wood grain on unsuitable surfaces, or completely custom artistic effects that can't be found elsewhere, our faux finishing techniques deliver the perfect balance of beauty and practicality.

Our Artistic Faux Finishing Process

1. Creative Consultation

We begin with a thorough understanding of your vision:

• Discuss your aesthetic goals and design preferences

• Evaluate your space, lighting conditions, and architectural elements

• Present sample options and technique demonstrations

• Consider functional requirements and traffic patterns

• Develop a custom approach tailored to your specific environment

2. Meticulous Preparation

Perfect faux finishes require the ideal foundation:

• Properly clean and assess existing surfaces

• Repair any imperfections or damage

• Apply appropriate base coats and primers

• Protect surrounding areas and fixtures

• Create sample boards for final approval before full application

3. Artistic Application

Our skilled artisans employ specialized techniques:

• Apply multiple coordinated layers with custom tools

• Build depth and dimension through expert application methods

• Execute precise hand-detailing for authentic appearance

• Create consistent yet naturally varied patterns

• Seal and protect finishes with appropriate topcoats

Faux Finishing Techniques We Offer

Marble and Stone Simulation

Achieve the luxurious appearance of exotic marble, travertine, limestone, or granite without the structural requirements or significant expense of actual stone installation.

Wood Grain Effects

Create the warmth and character of fine wood on surfaces where real wood isn't practical, with custom color variations and grain patterns matched to your design vision.

Metallic Finishes

Transform surfaces with the sophisticated sheen of bronze, copper, silver, or gold effects, offering depth and reflectivity that flat paint can't achieve.

Textured Plaster Techniques

Add subtle dimension with Venetian plaster, Italian stucco, or custom textural treatments that create depth and tactile interest.

Glazing and Color Washing

Build rich, translucent color effects with subtle variations and depth that create movement and visual interest on walls and ceilings.

Concrete and Industrial Finishes

Achieve contemporary industrial aesthetics without structural changes through realistic concrete, rusted metal, or weathered surface effects.

Surfaces We Transform

• Walls and Feature Areas - Create dramatic focal points or subtle background texture

• Ceilings - Add unexpected detail and dimension to overhead spaces

• Cabinetry and Built-ins - Transform standard millwork with luxury finishes

• Furniture and Decorative Elements - Revitalize existing pieces with custom artistic treatments

• Columns and Architectural Details - Enhance structural elements with appropriate decorative finishes
