Decorative & Faux Finishing Services in Little Rock & Central Arkansas
Brush & Pride Painting provides decorative and faux finishing services for homeowners, interior designers, and select residential projects throughout Little Rock, North Little Rock, Maumelle, Conway, and Central Arkansas. These finishes are a premium, specialty service, intended for clients seeking custom, artistic, and design-driven results—not standard production painting.
Decorative finishes require advanced craftsmanship, careful planning, and a collaborative design process. Our work is intentional, detailed, and tailored to the architecture and vision of each space.
What Are Decorative & Faux Finishes?
Decorative and faux finishes go beyond traditional paint application. These techniques are used to create depth, texture, movement, and visual character that cannot be achieved with standard coatings.
Depending on the project, decorative finishes may:
Replicate the look of stone, marble, or aged materials
Add architectural richness to walls or features
Elevate cabinetry and built-ins
Introduce custom artistic elements
Support a larger interior design vision
Because no two decorative projects are the same, each one begins with consultation, planning, and finish development.
Decorative & Faux Finishing Services We Offer
Brush & Pride Painting provides a curated range of specialty decorative finishes, including:
Marbling & Stone-Inspired Finishes
Custom faux marbling and stone techniques designed to replicate the appearance of natural materials. These finishes are often used on accent walls, columns, fireplaces, and architectural details.
Decorative Cabinet Finishes
Specialty cabinet finishes such as glazing, antiquing, distressing, and layered finishes. These are ideal for clients seeking cabinetry that feels custom, expressive, and intentionally designed rather than factory-standard.
Murals & Artistic Wall Treatments
We offer select mural and artistic wall projects when they align with our craftsmanship standards and design approach. These projects are treated as fine-art applications and require extensive planning and design development.
Please note: We do not specialize in commercial signage or logo-based branding. Clients seeking signage are typically better served by dedicated signage professionals.
Designer-Led Decorative & Faux Finishing
Decorative and faux finishing services at Brush & Pride Painting are provided primarily for interior designers, architects, and design-focused homeowners who value custom execution and collaborative craftsmanship.
These projects are approached as design partnerships, not production services. We work alongside designers to support and execute the intended vision—respecting proportions, materials, color relationships, and the overall aesthetic of the space.
While select homeowners may engage us directly, this service is best suited for clients who:
Are working with a designer, or
Have a clear design intent and understand the creative process
To maintain quality and focus, decorative projects are accepted selectively and scheduled intentionally.
Decorative & Faux Finishing Is a Design Process — Not a Paint Product
Unlike standard painting, decorative and faux finishes require:
Concept development and finish selection
Sampling and refinement when appropriate
Layered application techniques
Controlled drying and curing times
Careful execution and detailing
Because of this, decorative finishes take considerably longer than traditional painting.
Murals, depending on size and complexity, often require six months to a year or longer to design, paint, and complete. This timeline includes artistic development, approvals, surface preparation, execution, and refinement.
These extended timelines are not delays — they are essential to achieving refined, intentional results.
How long do decorative or faux finishing projects take?
Decorative and faux finishing projects take considerably longer than standard painting, and timelines vary based on complexity, scale, and design requirements.
Decorative and faux finishes require additional preparation, layering, drying time, and controlled application. These projects typically take significantly longer than conventional painting due to the craftsmanship involved.
Murals, in particular, are a much larger commitment. Depending on the size, detail, and artistic complexity, mural projects often require six months to a year or more to fully design, paint, and complete. This timeline includes concept development, design approval, surface preparation, execution, and refinement.
Decorative finishes and murals are not fast-turn services. They are artistic, design-driven projects that require patience, collaboration, and realistic scheduling.
Clients considering this type of work should be comfortable with:
Extended timelines
Multiple project phases
Design development before execution
The artistic nature of the process
This approach ensures the finished work meets the quality, detail, and originality these projects demand.
Important Information Before Requesting a Decorative Finishing Consultation

Please be aware:
All decorative and faux finishing projects require a paid consultation and design review
Consultation and design fees are non-refundable
Decorative finishes cannot be accurately priced without consultation
