Why Choose Faux Finish for Your Home

Faux finishing (or decorative painting) is the art of giving your wall the look of high-end materials. In short, it’s using painting to make your walls look like they are made of marble, wood, stone, etc. Specialized paints, glazes, and application techniques make that possible. Instead of flat, one-dimensional walls, you get texture, depth, and visual movement.

Benefits of faux finishes include:

  • Luxury at a fraction of the cost
  • Unique looks
  • Added depth and warmth
  • Increased home value
  • Long-lasting beauty

Our Faux Finishing & Decorative Painting Services

At Legacy Custom Home Remodeling, we offer a wide range of faux techniques. Regardless of subtle sophistication or bold statement walls, we always match your style. We work with homeowners, designers, and business owners across Houston to bring visions to life. Our popular finishes and techniques include:
Venetian Plaster

Incredibly smooth, hard, and luminous surface that closely resembles polished marble or stone. Multiple thin layers of hand-applied plasters, polished to give a premium, luxurious finish.

Color Washing & Glazing

A Translucent layer applied over a solid base coat to give the mottled effect where both the base color and the glaze color show through.

Metallic & Pearl Finishes

Paints, plasters, or glazes with fine reflective particles to catch and reflect light, create a shimmering, luminous effect that changes subtly as you move around the room.

Marbleizing & Stone Effects

Replicate the intricate veining, color variations, and depth of natural stone on your walls.

Wood Graining (Faux Bois)

Make your walls look like it is made from a more expensive or desirable wood.

Rag Rolling & Sponging

Dab, roll, or press a second color of glaze onto a base coat using a rag or a natural sea sponge. A classic, textured effect for traditional or transitional interiors.

Textured Plaster & Stucco Looks

Create an intentionally rough, irregular surface to mimic the appearance of old-world building materials like hand-troweled plaster or exterior stucco, bringing a sense of history, earthiness, and organic texture indoors.

Custom Murals & Stenciling

Transform a plain surface into a custom work of art by applying hand-painted or pre-designed artwork directly onto your walls

No matter the size of your wall or the scope of the project, our highly skilled artists can create a custom wall finish that perfectly fits your home’s style.
