Faux finish wallpapers are a growing trend for creating the look of real materials at a fraction of the cost. It’s not until you touch these wallpapers that you realize they are a faux finish. With so many styles faux finish wallpapers can be used from traditional to contemporary spaces.
Brick and concrete wallpapers create an industrial rugged appearance to your home. They are great for adding an architectural feature to a space that lacks a strong focal point.
Faux wood, or faux bois—French for fake wood, is one of the most popular trends in faux finish and have only gotten more and more realistic. This bistre lumber is the perfect example, with its highly detailed and knotty look it’s hard to believe it’s not real!
For a wood look with an even more overwhelming aesthetic a wallpaper mural is a great option with the rare and exceptional takes on a wooden expression.
For a rustic country vibe and a casual atmosphere faux animal skin wallpapers are another contemporary option.
Faux fabric wallpapers give you a big sense of drama without any hassle. A wallpaper mural such as this leather one makes a startling impact and is great for use as a feature wall.
Faux tile is another growing wallpaper trend allowing you to get the sheen, depth and detail of real tiles. The results are striking and will certainly save you time and money if you wish to achieve a tiled aesthetic.
