Faux Paint trends on Long island
Continuing trends in faux painting and decorative paint treatments on long island this year seem to be still holding strong with a more updated and clean look. I am getting requests for more venetian plaster, more troweled tight Lusterstone and the ever popular metallic paint finishes. My best selling finishes are still the metallic tissue paper finishes, i have less requests for tuscan or mediterenean looks. Metallics applied in simple layered washes, over texture and in pattern forms are trends worth paying attention to. Metals don't have to mean contemporary or modern, these finishes can still radiate that arm home look that people like, these paints from Modern masters, and Faux Effects come in such brilliant colors that the options for a gorgeous back ground or accent wall are limitless. I really like using these paints on ceilings and in murals, the effects are stunning.
