voking rooms from Pompeii to Versailles, the wall surfaces, ceilings and floors become the essential support for everything else entering into a room. Glazed walls may offer a soft ambiance, while simulated inlayed floors, or striking landscape vignettes on a ceiling mural create unique and creative backgrounds for furniture, paintings and objects. With an international clientele, Freccia Studios expertise bridges many styles, and can effectively transform a space into a period theme or national style, be it Swedish Folk, Italian classic, Formal French, to American Arts & Crafts, for example.
 

Featured Story: Tapestry Mural

A very stylized painting process with mythological animals, fruit trees and textured background afforded a perfect synergy between the dark oak paneled room and large heavy furniture. Though tapestries are always woven of cloth, I decided to create the old, worn appearance by painting on top a frescoed surface. Aged plaster walls provide a depth and sense of solidity I felt was appropriate to achieve my goal.
