Welcome to FauxByDesigN
Have you noticed the recent trend in home design and decorating?  It’s not a trend.  Faux Finishing has been transforming homes for years and never goes out of style.  Even the simplest wall techniques such as ragging or subtle sponging can add beautiful warmth and ambiance to your home.  Whether you are striving to achieve a totally modern look, or, the aged Old World look of Tuscan walls – faux finishing will work with any decorating style. 

Remember:  Your walls are the most important backdrop for your furniture, lighting, plants and accessories.  Faux Finishing &/or Decorative Painting can set the stage for how your home looks and feels.
