Many years ago I remember reading an article in Martha Stewart Living about faux bois and I was intrigued. Faux bois is a French term meaning “false wood” and it refers to a material or finish that appears to be real wood, but isn’t. A faux bois effect can be achieved by painting, printing, or imprinting a design on textiles or pottery. I love the natural yet chic and glamorous effect it adds. I used very subtle faux bois plates on my Thanksgiving table that you can see here. I love how it is used in the photos below.
Below are some ideas for introducing faux bois into your decor.
Straws / Pillow / Rug / Fabric / Paper Plate / Bowl
Have you ever used faux bois in your decor? Are you like me and leave it to smaller accent pieces or do you go all out with a carpet or painted walls?
