Faux Bois “Fake Wood” Wallcovering

Faux Bois is French for “Fake Wood”, and is definitely more fun to say. This amusing little mini trend is showing up in design elements, from lighting to accessories, and everything in between.

Cole and Son’s Woods wallpaper makes you feel surrounded by trees in the dead of winter. Some may find the pattern too stark while others appreciate the organic beauty. Michael Aram’s Enchanted Forest collection of iron cast wood pieces is as sculptural as it is functional. Fabrics are being printed with the faux graining and used as upholstery, window treatments, or even lampshades.

So whether or not this look is “ingrained” for you, it adds a whimsical feel to decorating a room. For some faux bois overload, as well as a good laugh, head over to http://itsknotwood.blogspot.com/ to see all where else the trend is taking over.
