via Full House    In case you are inspired to use the look of Faux Bois in your home, I have rounded up a few easily available products below...        For those DIYers out there, here is a fun tutorial for creating your own Faux Bois stamp to imprint on fabric or paper. Martha Stewart has a paint kit which can be used to replicate the look on furniture or walls. What are your thoughts about Faux Bois? Is this trend facing it's final days or still a look worth using? Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design? If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Room Rx! |

Trends: Faux Bois
The look of Faux Bois (the term has French roots and means "false wood") continues to be a healthy design trend these days, which is amazing as it has been on the scene for quite a few years. My first exposure to it was thanks to style diva Martha Stewart (who may even been the reason it became a trend). There is something classic about the look and I can honestly say I am not tired of it. Faux Bois can be found on everything from textiles to furniture and is organic, yet bold and graphic. Even just a touch of it can make quite a statement.
Love a little dose of this, the floors in the Coastal Living space look amazing! I'd probably tire of it quickly, but a fabulous look, particularly in a photograph! Janell
ReplyDeleteI just discovered this term the other week, and now I'm seeing it EVERYWHERE. I am stashing it away in my design file to use in the future!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the paint kit. It would make a fun and unexpected statement for a book shelf or dresser. Hmmmm...perhaps in my guest room :)
