Wood Graining Paint Effect on Doors
Wood graining or faux wood painting is a form of specialist decoration that emulates the natural characteristics of wood.
In the past it was used to replicate exotic, rare or expensive woods, providing a cost-effective way to add consistency and grandeur to an interior. Nowadays, the art of wood graining is used in much the same way, allowing cheaper woods to be upgraded or previously painted surfaces to be disguised.
To create a realistic and convincing finish, it’s essential to pay close attention to the movement of the grain and the intricacies of individual woods. In the pictures above Lee painted new pine doors to look like aged oak (and match the breakfast table), a painted fire door to look like pine (and match the other house doors), and mdf to look like oak and burr walnut.
“Thank you so much Lee, our faux fire door looks amazing, we are so pleased with the result! It’s now becoming the focal point of our house and your wonderful artwork is quite the talking point of all our visitors.” Mrs S, Harrogate.
Lee works as a specialist decorator throughout Yorkshire and is within easy reach for faux wood graining projects in Harrogate, Leeds, York, Wetherby, Ripon, Otley, Ilkley, Wakefield, Halifax, and all the surrounding areas.
