This effect was achieved by freehand painting and stenciling in a color slightly darker than the background color. |

I liked it so well I did it in the entryway of our new house, only using a lighter color than background. It is very subtle. | |
This living room had a built-in nitch. I emphasized it with a border of faux tiles. |

Both of these samples were achieved with a glazing technique. The first photo shows an off-white background with a brown glaze over it. The second photo (in a theater room) has a golden yellow background and a reddish brown glaze. | |
Copper and Bronze metallic paint over dark brown using loose criss-cross brushstrokes makes this tray ceiling look like hammered copper. | |
