Interior Decorating trends have long included faux finish painting as one of the most elegant ways to accent good interior design ideas. The fundamentals of interior decorating and design consist of three distinct components including composition, texture, and color.
Interior Decorating - Composition, in interior decorating and design, refer to an ancient Chinese philosophy called "Feng Shui." Which deals with the spatial placement of interior decorating elements.
Interior Decorating - Texture, in interior decorating and design, typically refer to fabric styles, as well as the use of metals, woods, and stone on walls, floors, and around windows or doors. Many times, textures like window treatments, stone, or centerpieces can be used as inspiration for an interior decorative theme.
Interior Decorating - Colors are the third component of interior decorating and design. They can complete any interior decorating theme, enhancing spatial placement or accenting texture design. However, each of these elements of interior decorating and design need to be orchestrated in concert with one another to achieve true decorative balance.
Interior Decorating - Faux Finishing, or faux finish painting captures the essence of interior decorating through the use of each of these decorative elements. For example, a soft glaze can change the perception of spatial placement, while a more complex faux finish can appear to lend texture, the depth of each depending on the colors chosen in the decorative theme.
