Trompe l'Oeil at Home: Faux Finishes and Fantasy Settings

Trompe l'Oeil at Home: Faux Finishes and Fantasy Settings by Chambers, Karen S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780847814206.

With a breathtaking collection of photographs, this volume shows how rooms can be magically transformed through tromp-loeil murals, objects, paintings and fabrics, as well as with painted faux finishes that dazzle and beguile the viewer. These ingenious techniques turn wodden floors into opulent marble expanses, adorn plain walls with neoclassical moldings, upgrade ordinary furniture to period pieces, and add sumptuous garden views to windowless rooms.
