Faux fabric wall treatments impart warmth and drama to any interior. Decorative painting techniques simulate the appearance of lustrous antique silk wall coverings, or, if you prefer, textured woven fabrics.

Faux Fabric Paint Effects: From Burlap to Watered Silk

For example, walls can be “wrapped” in hemp, linen or moiré silk paint effects. We can even paint faux ‘seams’ to create the effect of a fabric-panelled room.

So whether it’s painted denim-look walls for a boy’s bedroom or peach silk walls for a Georgian drawing room or the look of burlap for a midcentury modern interior, we can emulate whatever textile or fabric your project requires.
