Textured Finishes

Textured finishes on walls and ceilings can give your room a truly unique look. Textured painting techniques add depth as well as visual interest, and include faux finishes such as stucco, plaster, and Venetian plaster finishes, crinkled-tissue treatments, embedded materials, and decoupage. 

Having painted textured finishes in the NJ and NYC area for over 25 years, I have experience with a wide variety of textured painting tools, techniques and tricks to help create the depth and drama you are looking for in your spaces.  I hope you find some inspiration for your home’s interior by looking at my textured painting projects today!
