Venetian plaster is a refined lime-based finish known for its depth, movement, and timeless elegance. At Deco Plaster Studio, we specialize in artisan Venetian plaster walls—applied entirely by hand for residences and commercial interiors throughout New York City, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley. For another stunning lime-based finish, see our Roman Lime Plaster installations.
As you watch the timelapse installation on the left, you're witnessing centuries-old techniques applied with modern precision. Each layer is meticulously crafted to create walls that aren't just surfaces, but living art that evolves with light and time.
Every successful installation begins with meticulous surface preparation. We ensure the substrate is clean, stable, and perfectly smooth—the essential foundation for a flawless finish.
A uniform base coat is applied to create a consistent foundation. This layer seals the surface and provides the canvas for the subsequent finish layers.
Using specialized trowels, we apply multiple thin layers of Venetian plaster in a cross-hatch pattern. Each layer is allowed to cure slightly before the next is applied, building depth and character.
Once the final layer is dry to the touch, we burnish the surface with a steel trowel. This compression technique brings out the natural sheen of the marble dust, creating the signature luminous glow.
After thorough inspection and any necessary touch-ups, we apply a protective wax or sealant if requested. This enhances durability while maintaining the plaster's breathable properties.
Made from slaked lime, marble dust, and natural pigments—completely VOC-free and environmentally friendly.
When properly applied, Venetian plaster becomes part of the wall structure, lasting decades with proper care.
Unlike paint or vinyl, Venetian plaster allows walls to breathe, regulating humidity and preventing mold growth.
The marble dust reflects light in unique ways, creating depth and movement that changes throughout the day.
