_{If you like the idea of a bespoke finish, this is the finish for you}.

I get this question a lot when I specify this product. Many people associate venetian plaster with the high gloss marble look walls that are seen around the world, this is still an option! But venetian plaster is now seen as a surface design which can be anything from a textured lime wall to the teal and pink explosion. It’s so versatile and bespoke that pretty much anything goes.

 Traditionally the finish is created using a mixture of marble, granite and lime dust. With the industry expanding into more of a surface design effect the mixes are changing. Clay based plaster holds the colour better and slate lime putty is used for those high gloss effects.

The range of designs encourages us to be innovative with the design choices. From metallics to highly textured finishes you can create a space that shouts your personality or that appreciates the age of the property and helps bring some old features back to life.

Why use it? I hear you ask. Well, it’s basically a piece of art. Yes you can buy wallpaper that creates a feature wall. But when it comes to venetian plaster it’s not just about the design, its also about the plasterer who is applying it. It’s a learnt skill and there are courses available. Some plasterers are employed due to the way they apply their designs. Take a look at a rennovation project we finished, its a great example of a finish with movement, it also has a metalic glow – https://into-id.co.uk/leeds-west-yorkshire/

So, if you are thinking of getting this finish in your home, office, restaurant etc. Make sure you find a rated and trained plasterer!
