Faux painting is a wall treatment that has come into fashion in recent years. This multi-faceted surface design is an art form. There are various faux finish techniques ranging from venetian plaster, glazing, wood graining, asian designs and modern finishes. This wall that I photographed in a local restaurant is a beautiful example of glazing. It enhances the architecture and introduces sophisticated decorative elements to both home and commercial decor. The lucite container of coffee and tea condiments offers an interesting contrast of familiar elements with the abstract artistry of the faux wall.
