Buying real and textured surface can be very tight in your budget. Since paint is most times more economical then the real thing, why not add a little trick to your place to deceive your viewer’s eyes with something that looks real. What you see isn’t always what you get. This is what Tromp L’Oeil made of. It
achieves the sense of being three dimensional with a technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion. Their placement and realistic preciseness is just amazing. Surprises like these are what make interior design so much fun and fascinating.
From the french word Trompe L’Oeil, pronounced “trum ploy” its meaning translates literally “to trick the eye” or “to fool the eye”.
Inexpensive, simpler furnishings, along with interiors and exteriors of buildings can be made to look
more expensive using techniques in wood graining (faux bois )and marbling (faux marbre). A three dimensional effect can be given to flat walls and ceilings. With the use of shading, shadowing and viewpoint skills trompe l’oeil artists and muralists can use their flairs to craft windows, doors and other openings like break aways, and rips and tears to open a room and give it depth.
