Decorative Finishing

Expert Faux Finishes That Transform Interiors

At Granath Color Works, we specialize in the ancient art of decorative painting, turning ordinary surfaces into extraordinary statements of craftsmanship. Using techniques passed down through generations, we create hyper-realistic faux wood graining and marble effects that are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

Every finish is applied entirely by hand with meticulous layering, glazing, and detailing. The result is not just a convincing imitation. It is a work of art that adds soul, luxury, and architectural significance to your interior.

We create breathtaking faux wood graining and marble effects using time-honored traditional techniques.

We excel at:

  • Realistic wood graining (mahogany, walnut, oak, cherry, pine, and custom species)

  • Elegant marble and stone effects (Carrara, Calacatta, Verde, Emperador, and more)

  • Architectural elements: doors, millwork, mantels, columns, and paneling

  • Fireplaces, ceilings, and large-scale feature walls

  • Historic restoration and period-appropriate finishes

Whether you envision subtle elegance, bold drama, or a perfectly nuanced neutral palette, we approach every project with meticulous attention to surface preparation, color theory, and enduring quality. From historic restorations to new-construction luxury homes, we treat each space as a unique canvas.

Meticulous. Artistic. Built to last for generations.
