- Background
of K&P Interiors
-
 In
1999 we founded K&P Interiors with the goal of creating a world-class
workingstudio for the two and three-dimensional decorative arts. We
have assembled an international team of artists that work solely for
our company and the collaborative artistic process sets our work apart
from many smaller firms. Our 1800 sq. ft. showroom in the Hart
Resource Center is open to the public six days a week, and is
a one-of-a kind place to see our finishes and architectural ornamentation.
Virtually every surface in  the
studio is painted, and columns, niches, mouldings and other architectural
ornament is finished and displayed. This creative setting allows clients
to see the effects in a way that is not possible from sample boards
or a photographic portfolio, and gives our clients the confidence
that we can execute our samples on larger surfaces. We also have a
3500 sq. ft. working studio where we paint murals on canvas up to
20 x 20 feet, do all our product research, and perform those painting
and finishing tasks that can be done off the job site. And, yes, we
accept commissions outside the greater Houston area.
- Why
Hire Professionals?
-
 Every
do-it-yourself show seems to demonstrate how easy it is to "faux
finish." Just sponge on different colors of latex paint, or blend
your colors with a rag or plastic and "presto" you have
a work of art. Trowel on some joint compound and you have instant
old-world texture! The subtle layered effects K&P achieves with
professional glazes, texture products, Venetian and Mediterranean
plasters take faux finishing to a entirely different level. Our finishes
have an organic feel with no evidence of how they were produced, no
lap lines where paint dried too quickly, and no dark lines in the
corners. Our professional team can carry out these effects over large
wall surfaces, and we understand the preparation and finish steps
that will produce an effect that will stand up over time. It is our
philosophy that faux finishes should provide a subtle background for
furnishings, framed art work, fixtures, and floor coverings. The decorative
arts provided by K&P provide a personalized environment for the
client, but we stress integration of the total interior.
