Faux Woodgrain

Woodgraining is a faux finish technique that can repair, restore, or lend a certain vibe to your interior

Arteriors has perfected the art of faux bois for use in different design requirements – to remedy issues with existing architectural finishes, to restore a woodgraining surface by matching previous wood finishes, or to bring a certain fresh and inspiring ambiance to your place. Decorative painting faux wood grain finishes convey a seaside feeling with a faux driftwood, majesty with faux mahogany, and an organic calm with faux white oak. The traditional finish is integral to many trompe l’oeil treatments and often essential in historic home renovations. 

It is an important tool in executing the designer's vision.
