There are many ways to achieve a faux finish, including wood grain (discussed earlier), sponging, ragging, & bagging. In these photos, you'll see a variety of sponging techniques.
Color choices, contrast, the number of colors used, and technique all combine to make a nearly infinite number of results. You can make a wall look like leather or aged plaster or as though it is wallpapered seamlessly.
Bathrooms, small and large, are a perfect place for a faux application. The smaller space lends itself well to being brought alive with color and texture. Even a simple two color finish as shown here can make a dramatic statement. Likewise, a small transition wall is perfect for a faux finish. In the photo with the cross, the homeowner wanted to blend apricot and light green in a great room. Using a combination of those colors to create a transition wall resulted in the look of aged copper complemented by the ornate bronzed cross. Similarly, the faux finished bridge in an entry way achieved the goal of blending two colors in the foyer as well as tastefully introducing the variety of eclectic decorations in the home.
