Ragging

Ragging on and ragging off are techniques that have become increasingly more in style in the last few years. Creating the random natural look of “scrunches” across the expanse of your walls can be a challenging and exhausting task. We have years of experience using these techniques that will save you time, frustration and the anguish of getting it “just right”. We’ll get it right for you.

Color Washing

When blending colors to create the colorwashing finish, we can deliver the look you are hoping for. Like many of the specialty finishes we provide, colorwashing requires time and talent. Entrust your walls, especially those high walls, to Marco Polo Studio.

Wood Graining

Maybe you are installing new kitchen cabinets and you would like your wood grain door (or other) to match. We can match most styles with impeccable results. Our Priniciple Artist, Mark Dorman, has a keen eye for color and detail so rest assured that your home or business is in good hands – the hands of a professional, dedicated artisan.

Striping and Shadow Striping

To achieve the high class look you’ve always been wanting, our artists can apply the striping technique to enhance any room. In a room with dark furniture, striping can actually lighten the appearance of your room.
