Are you looking for that personalized touch with a classic feel? Venetian plaster may be for you. An age-old technique, Venetian plaster is one of many faux finishes that are available for todays homeowners. It is a compound that is low in odor and thick in consistency and can be applied in a variety of ways. .
It can be made to looks like marble, suede, rough silk, fresco, pewter or other metallic finishes. It is often smooth to the touch and can give depth to any wall, ceiling or structure (i.e. columns, door frames, etc). Venetian plaster can be applied to nearly any surface and can be applied in nearly any color.
Because of its limitless possibilities, Venetian plaster can transform any home into a smooth contemporary space or give it that old world charm. With modern technology, it is now more durable than ever. It can even be washable and resistant to fungus and mildew, a perfect finish for a bathroom or any moisture-prone area.
It used to be that it had to be mixed by hand, which was time consuming and costly. It is now, however, available in a pre-mixed form, which is more efficient and economical. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to get the look and feel of marble, suede or unique finishes, then Venetian plaster may be what you are looking for.
