Venetian plaster is made from a mixture of lime putty and natural stone dust, which is highly versatile and can be used to achieve a variety of beautiful effects. This has made it a popular choice for high-end interior design schemes.
Here’s a look at how Venetian plaster and its variations such as polished plaster can be used to create elegant and charming hotel interiors.
Make a grand entrance
Venetian plaster is often used in lobbies and reception areas to create an unforgettable first impression. It can be used to set the whole tone of the hotel with polished or textured finishes that reflect the light to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
The unique quality of the plaster brings out a rich depth and subtly to the colour, imbuing the space with a lasting charm and character.
Dining in style
The right atmosphere in a dining area is crucial to a satisfactory guest experience, as eating is both a sensual and social experience. Venetian plaster is ideal for creating a pleasing ambience, as it has a warmth and depth that is impossible to achieve with regular plaster and paint or wallpaper.
Guest rooms
Venetian plaster is ideal for creating memorable feature walls in guest rooms. Avoid the curse of the bland hotel room by setting your guest rooms apart from the rest with tinted polished plaster. It can also be mixed with different pigments to create a metallic effect, which is perfect for capturing the opulence of a retro Art Deco style.
If your hotel has a more rustic country charm, then the plaster can bring a wonderfully natural textured finish with rich earthy tones. This effortlessly re-creates a timeless authentic interior that will make your guests feel welcome and relaxed.
Bars and lounge areas
Polished plasters are the perfect choice for bar and lounge areas, where you want to encourage your guests to enjoy pre-dinner drinks in a sophisticated and stylish environment. It looks beautiful under both natural and artificial light, so it will work well both day and night.
Whether you want to recreate an opulent feel with metallic plasters, or a sleek and contemporary look, Venetian plaster is an ideal choice for bar areas. It can also be incorporated with stencil designs to create patterns, logos or lettering that align with your company branding.
It’s a very practical medium for bars and dining areas as well, because it is very hardwearing and easy to keep clean, so it can withstand the inevitable spills and splashes of a commercial catering space.
Bathrooms
Polished plaster can be sealed to make it completely waterproof, so this makes it ideal for use in bathrooms. Avoid the constant battle with grime and mildew that can build up in the tile grouting by finishing your guest bathrooms with specially treated polished plaster.
Spa retreats
Create beautifully tranquil spa rooms with specially treated polished plaster that can recreate the appearance of natural stone. This will lend your spa area a timeless elegance and help your guests to have a truly first class experience.
