Trompe l’oeil is a French expression and literally means “trick of the eye”. The art of trompe l’œil is to paint extremely realistic imagery that creates the optical illusion that the objects or views are really there, and are not just a two-dimensional painting. One of the most famous examples of this is the violin painted on the inner door of The State Music Room at Chatsworth House.
Trompe l’oeil is an incredible finish that opens up a whole world of painted illusion, fun and whimsy. Enormous enjoyment can be had by manipulating the normal constraints of a room or playing around with everyday objects.
Popular projects include false windows, doors, impossible views, columns, archways, and visual plays on everyday objects. The possibilities are nearly limitless, so why not call Imaginative Interiors today and discover the wonderful world of decorative illusion and trickery.
