Venetian plaster delivers a durable, timeless finish that can't be replicated with paint.
Whether it's a single feature wall or an entire space, every finish is applied by hand, in your home, and tailored to the room:
Ancient Craft, Modern Application
The use of lime plaster dates back to the end of the 8th Millennium BC, and the fact that artifacts made from it still exist today speaks to its durability and longevity. Venetian plaster is not a painted-on faux finish. It's genuine Italian limestone mixed with fine Carrara marble aggregate, applied in thin layers with a spatula or trowel, then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture. When light reflects off the finish, it enriches the colours and brings organic warmth to the wall; a result that only improves with age.
A Range of Finishes, All Done by Hand
We specialize in a range of custom wall treatments including Marmorino Carrara, Marmorino Classic, Tadelakt, Intonachino, Velvet Marmorino, Veneciano, Venetian Plaster, and Tuscan finishes. Each one is a custom fusion treatment that combines traditional Italian lime products and techniques, all applied by hand, tailored to your space, and finished to your exact specifications. Together, we'll choose the colour and finish that best complements your project, whether you're after the old-world feel of Tuscany or Venice or something more understated.
Seamless Restoration & Custom Matching
Already have an existing plaster finish that needs repair or restoration? We can match any finish for service or repair, including custom wood graining, plaster relief, metallic, and other specialized decorative techniques. Whatever the finish, we'll blend it seamlessly, preserving the integrity of your space while bringing it back to its original standard.
