Synopsis

Step-by-Step Paint Techniques & Faux Effects is an inspirational invitation for beginners and more advanced decorators to revitalize their homes by using simple but exciting paint finishes. What may seem like a complicated procedure at first, will become a thoroughly enjoyable and affordable method of enhancing the home by creating a range of stunning effects - from a leather look for the study to the cheerful Fantasy Marble that can transform not only trinket boxes, but pillars and wall sections as well. Clear step-by-step explanations accompanied by specially commissioned photography will guide home decorators, teach them about surface preparation and colour choice, and offer over 20 different projects that will appeal to a wide range of tastes and abilities.
