PAPER FINISHES

Commonly known as "crinkle paper" or tissue paper faux, this finish adds depth to a flat surface. Depending on the sheen of the finish and the level of "crinkle" desired, the wall may appear unremarkable from a distance until the 3D effect becomes obvious upon closer inspection. Like any faux finish, the possibilities for this treatment are endless. It makes a stunning accent wall or entertainment center surround, and looks at home on ceilings and walls alike.

 This bold finish adorns a local accent wall and immediately became a conversation piece. The organic colors are
 bold without being overpowering.

Picture
 This matte black finish is deceptive. From a distance, the walls appear to simply be "black" but the texture becomes
 more obvious as you get closer.

Picture
 Varied hues of pink are mixed with different whites to create this finish.

Picture
 It may look like worn leather at first glance but the only creature harmed in the making of this finish was the
 decorator. Paper was applied over an asphalt-tinted base coat, with layers of black paint on top of the paper. The
 final step was a gloss clearcoat to bring out the character of the finish.

 Hints of shimmering turquoise accent the series of layered blues in this paper finish.

 From pale lavender to royal violet, this finish is sure to impress.
