True faux finishes use paints, glazes, techniques, brushes and softeners to create the look of something real, such as stone, marble and wood. Textured materials can also be used for a more physical faux look.
Decorative finishes use paints, materials and tools to create interesting and unusual looks/wall finishes as well as soft and subtle looks. Any finish can be used in stripes, harlequins and other patterns on the walls, floors and ceiling.
