Throughout history, painted finishes such as glazing, marbling, and graining have been used to solve a wide range of design issues. In addition to being decorative, these finishes can give interior spaces the illusion of being larger, higher, lighter, or more elegant. They can also be used to camouflage design flaws and damaged walls, or integrate new materials with preexisting ones. Popular in both restoration and innovation, painted finishes can also be one of the least expensive ways to decorate and renovate.
