Faux painting – marble / wood

Faux painting techniques have long been celebrated for their ability to replicate the beauty of natural materials with an artistry that transcends mere imitation. At Hare & Humphreys, we specialise in creating bespoke faux finishes that evoke the rich textures and timeless elegance of marble and wood — bringing warmth and character to interiors both historic and contemporary.

Our marble faux finishes capture the depth, veining and subtle tonal variations of prized natural stones. From the soft translucency of Carrara marble to the dramatic contrasts of Portoro and Verde Alpi, our hand-painted surfaces add luxury and sophistication without the constraints or cost of quarried stone.

Equally, our wood graining techniques replicate the intricate patterns and warm hues of fine timbers — from polished mahogany to weathered oak. Applied with precision and care, these finishes enhance cabinetry, panelling and architectural details with the rich patina of natural wood.

Each faux painting project is tailored to its setting. Working closely with designers, architects and private clients, we develop finishes that complement the room’s light, style and function — creating surfaces that delight on every glance and stand the test of time.
