Faux finishing is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a unique look. There are many techniques listed as follows:
 
Sponging, ragging, dragging, combing, texture graphics, feather daubing,
cellophane stomping, spritzing, and swirling.
 
Whether it’s a wall, switch plates, outlet covers, or air duct vents, faux finishing is the way to go. The possibilities are only limited by your creativity. The effects can be made with as little as 2 colors and up to 5 or 6, depending on your project.
