A faux finish can make such a difference in a room. Sometimes we use it to completely dominate the design of a space, like with a painted floor in a foyer. But what I like more is when it is used as a detail to make a room sparkle. Like a bamboo finish in the back of a bookcase that compliments the bamboo blinds. Or the wonderful sheen of a venetian plaster in a dining room that glows with candlelight. Or here in the photo above with the troweled metallic glaze in a two story foyer, reminds you to look up!
