How much should I expect to pay for faux finish?

Faux finishing or faux painting means painting or applying certain finishes to surfaces and materials to make them look like something else. It can replicate the look and feel of many different materials, including marble, granite, various wood grains, metals, and leather. Some techniques make walls and surfaces look antique or distressed, while other create more abstract patterns and textures.

There are two main categories of faux finishing: glaze painting and plaster application. For glaze painting, special paints, sometimes mixed with glazes, are applied to the walls using rags, sponges, brushes, or rollers to achieve the desired effect.
For special tinted plasters, they are carefully applied to the walls using trowels or spatulas. 

The cost of faux finishes depends on different factors such as prep work, size of wall/room, and the type of finish. The national average cost for faux painting services is $2,000 to $4,000, with most homeowners paying $2,400 to apply a marble effect to 400 sq.ft. of walls. It can cost as low as $250 to have simple stripes painted on a feature wall or as high as $10,000 for Venetian plaster on four walls of a room.
