Decorative Finishes in Charlotte, NC

Faux techniques use glazes, layered colour and hand tools to give a flat wall depth or texture, or to imitate another material. The result depends on the base coat, the glaze and the hand applying it, and the same finish can read quite differently in two rooms with different light. Bring a photo or a description of the look you want to the estimate, and we talk through where it suits the room and what it involves. Another reviewer had a creative paint design done in their master bedroom and wrote that it came out perfect.

Colour consultation is help choosing paint colours and combinations that suit your style, your lighting and the space. A north-facing room pulls colours cooler and darker, a room with strong afternoon sun warms them, and warm-white bulbs push greys toward beige. Undertones decide whether a grey reads blue, green or purple next to your floors and cabinets. A large sample on the actual wall, looked at in morning and evening light, tells you more than a small chip in the store. A Google reviewer wrote that Zach was patient and helpful while she picked out paint colours, and that she gets compliments on the result.

Sheen is part of the decision too. Flat and matte finishes hide wall flaws and look soft, eggshell and satin wipe clean more easily, and higher sheens catch the light and show texture. An accent wall in a different sheen from the walls beside it adds contrast without a new colour. We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints, so you can choose from either brand's colour range.

Decorative work is priced from the room and the finish you choose. Our published price guide lists a 10 by 12 foot room at $300 to $800 and walls only at $2.75 to $6.00 per square foot. A faux finish or a multi-colour design is quoted on its own at the free estimate, which sets the real number. Financing is available.
