Decorative finishes
Special decorative finishes can be obtained using different techniques and materials.
Finishes differ from shiny to matt, smooth to textured, achieved by using different techniques like sponging, stencilling, stippling, cloth dragging, marbling, glazing....
The range is unlimited with textures being created in the basecoat and one or more colours being used as top coats. From the effects of antiquity, and the delicate friezes and decorative elements of the 18th century, to the vibrant glazes and subtle colour washes popular in modern, minimalist interiors, decorative finishes have been used for centuries to enrich and enliven interior space.
Colour tints are used to achieve a unique and customised look with depth and warmth colours. Large selection of finishes, textures and colours allows you to create very special effect for your home, whether you are looking for a classical prestigious style or more modern finish. It is through the artisan’s imagination and the refinement of technique that truly wonderful effects are created.
Using decorative finishes in any interior design scheme is very beneficial when a rare marble or exotic wood is rendered with paint for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. Such decorative finishes can be painted on nearly any surface with very few limitations and an artist is able to alter colours to match existing room colours. This would not be possible if you're using a natural marble or stained wood. Wood graining is less costly and more ecological than using hard woods. Faux marble can be applied for a fraction of the cost of installing real marble, and in less time. Similarly, metallic finishes successfully emulate the richness of gold leaf, bronze, copper and steel. In their own right, special decorative effects enhance mood, light, texture, and space.
