Venetian plaster
Venetian Polished Plasters
Traditional Lime based stucco, also known as Venetian Polished Plaster, is a luxurious decorative coating that can be used within your home or business on walls.
Venetian Plaster gives a high shine finish, reminiscent of marble in appearance, which is partly due to the incorporation of crushed marble particulate within the product.
The high shine finish of Venetian Plaster is one of the most laborious and time-intensive offerings we have, but we feel that the effort is worth it when you’re left with polished marble artwork on your walls.

Venetian Polished Plaster Feature Walls
Enhancing a feature wall or creating a focal point with polished plaster is one of the primary uses. This is what differentiates Venetian plasters from other plasters.
That’s not to say that it couldn’t be used throughout the whole space, but we find often it could be overwhelming, alongside added expense.
It’s easy to apply Venetian plaster. Applying it on just one whole wall can serve as a worthy addition to picking out details such as a fireplace, TV wall, or media unit, and where the natural light strikes giving the wow factor and complementing the rest of the decoration.
Coming from a decorating background, our artisans have a wealth of experience, depth of wisdom and artistic flair that comes in handy when undertaking these projects, which are critical to getting a polished plaster finish that gives you the desired outcome.
Unfortunately, not everyone in this field will give you the same level of expertise, care, focus and attention; instead, purely focus on getting paid as quickly as possible.
Consider how you plan to light the space, too and if your feature polished plaster wall will get its feature lighting. If you need some ideas or Venetian plaster design inspirations, browse our site or get in touch using the button below.
