Marbleizing or Faux Marbre is one element of Faux painting or Faux finishing. Faux painted finishes is a term used to describe a wide range of Decorative Painting Techniques. From the French word for “fake”, Faux Painting began as a form of replicating materials such as Marble and Wood with paint, but has come to encompass many other decorative finishes for walls and furniture. Most people think of it as Marbleizing, but technically Marbling, Faux Painted marble or Faux Marbling is used to make walls and furniture look like real Marble. This can be done using either plaster or glaze techniques. The ability to recreate and imitate the look of various species of polished and Antique Marbles today is indispensable to High End Designers, Architects,Home Owners and Decorators in search of it’s elegant, grand and sophisticated look.
