Faux Finishes, Fantasy Finishes and Murals

  No view? No problem!

This 'window' was added to a previously plain jane powder room, in addition to ragged walls and a stripe effect below the 'window'. Yes- the wall is completely flat, there is no window frame.

The above window was painted on artist's canvas and installed in a windowless office to add a serene relaxing atmosphere in this psychologist's office.  

Inspired painted effects by Ellen Leigh can be applied to nearly any surface, and are more economical than buying, hanging and later removing wallpaper.  They will not steam or peel and tear away like wallpaper, are more visually interesting than plain paint and certainly are more unique than either.  

Muralling is appropriate in unique nooks and crannies, on doors, in places where furniture does not work, or to add architectural interest or a focal point to a room. A mural can tell a story, create a mood, recall a memory, reflect interests or bring a dream to life.

Inspired Painted Effects are great in commercial spaces as well, creating a unique welcoming look for your business, an atmosphere and a look that no other competing business will have.

It takes creativity and the hand of a highly trained and talented artist to work with you to determine what type of mural or other finish to use in a space, and select the style, colors and techniques needed to inspire walls to new life.

Be sure to look through all the photos in the 'Gallery' section of this site for examples of how personal these works can be.  Hundreds of additional photos and samples are viewable at a personal consultation.  Click on 'Contact Ellen' and drop me an E-mail, a consultation can be set up at your convenience.
