What Is a Faux Finish?

Faux finishes are decorative paint finishes that replicate the appearance of materials such as marble, wood, leather, or stone. Often, a glaze or other topcoat is used to create the desired effect. Some are more elegant while others are more rustic, enabling you to craft the perfect style for each of your rooms. And believe it or not, faux finishing is easier than you think—especially with the experts at Village Paint guiding you through the process.

Benjamin Moore’s creative glazes and unique effects transform ordinary surfaces into dramatic works of art. The brand offers everything from a latex glaze to translucent, pearlized, and metallic options. The unique Paint Extender also gives you more time to create the custom effect you desire before the paint dries.

Modern Masters

Virtually any faux finish texture is possible with Modern Masters’ glazes, crackles, and varnishes. They also provide products that can be used to fix and fill existing textures and correct wall imperfections.
