Every finish, perfected

From classic venetian plaster and marmorino to bespoke abstract patterns — a full range of decorative plastering services across Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull and the wider West Midlands.

At Venetian Plaster Craft, we believe a wall is not merely the boundary of a room — it is a canvas. Using traditional Italian techniques and sustainable lime-based materials, we have refined three fundamental textures to suit any architectural style across the UK.

I

Polished Plaster — The Fine Signature

"The essence of classical Italian luxury — where the wall becomes a mirror."

Known as Stucco Veneziano or Spatolato, this finish represents the pinnacle of refinement. It is achieved by applying multiple ultra-thin layers, which are subsequently burnished with a stainless steel trowel to bring a natural lustre to the surface — without the use of synthetic lacquers.

Visual appearanceIntense lustre, crystalline reflections and a depth that evokes genuine marble.
To the touchPerfectly smooth, cool and vitrified.
Ideal forCeilings (to visually raise room height), grand entrances and accent walls in reception areas.
VibeElegant, commanding, sophisticated.

Marmorino — The Medium Signature

"The perfect balance between satin and natural stone."

Marmorino is our most versatile finish. It contains a medium grain of marble dust, which lends it body and a quiet presence. It is not as striking as polished plaster, but it has a subtle depth that responds superbly to the natural light of British windows.

Visual appearanceMatt-satin finish with cloudy tonal variations that give walls an organic quality.
To the touchFine texture, similar to hand-honed marble stone.
Ideal forContemporary living rooms, bedrooms and commercial spaces where a calm, Quiet Luxury atmosphere is desired.
VibeTimeless, warm, minimalist.

Textured Plaster — The Coarse Signature

"The raw character of stone, shaped by hand for modern interiors."

Textured Plaster is our statement of craftsmanship. Using a coarse aggregate, this finish — which includes styles such as Travertino, Pitted and Dragged — allows the creation of three-dimensional patterns. It is the artisan's signature, where the movements of the tool remain immortalised in stone.

Visual appearanceMatt, robust, with pores, striations or dramatic relief. Can perfectly imitate architectural concrete or quarried stone.
To the touchStrongly textured, granular and warm.
Ideal forMedia walls, fireplaces, modern restaurants or bathrooms (for a natural spa aesthetic). Excellent for concealing minor wall imperfections.
VibeIndustrial, organic, authentic.

Metallic Paints & Liquid Metals: The Contemporary Glow

"Where decorative art meets precious reflections."

If classical Venetian plaster evokes history, our metallic finishes are the definition of sophisticated modernism. These are not simply paints — they are rich layers of metallic pigments that interact with light to create a dynamic, vibrant surface.

The most sought-after metallic effects in the UK:

Soft Silk & PearlA discreet, pearlescent shimmer that shifts depending on the angle from which you view the wall. Ideal for master bedrooms and lounge areas where a relaxing yet luxurious atmosphere is desired.
Burnished Gold, Silver & CopperImitates hand-applied metal leaf. Can be finished with a smooth or lightly striated texture. Ideal for niches, coffered ceilings or accent walls behind a bed or television.
Oxidised & Rust EffectsAn industrial-chic look imitating the natural oxidation process of copper (verdigris patina) or iron (rust). Ideal for modern offices, restaurants or interior fireplace surrounds.

Why choose Metallic Paints from Venetian Plaster Craft?

Light PlayUnlike matte paint, metallic finishes "work" with your home's lighting system, offering depth even in darker rooms.
Wipeable & DurableMost of our high-quality metallic paints are washable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Seamless ArtWe apply these finishes using stainless steel trowels or specialist brushes to avoid unsightly streaks, achieving a continuous, seamless result.

Microcement: The Seamless Revolution

"Seamless surfaces, without joints. Minimalism elevated to an art form."

If Venetian plaster is the jewel of walls, Microcement is the total solution for durable surfaces. It is a cement and polymer compound applied in a thin layer (2–3 mm), yet offering incredible resistance.

Why is Microcement "The Next Big Thing" in the UK?

Seamless LivingSay goodbye to grout that darkens in the bathroom. Microcement creates a continuous surface, visually much more spacious and far easier to clean.
Waterproof ExcellenceThe ideal solution for wet rooms (walk-in showers), tiled baths and kitchen worktops.
VersatilityCan be applied over almost any existing surface (old tiles, plasterboard, concrete), eliminating the cost and disruption of demolition.
Underfloor Heating CompatibleIn the UK, underfloor heating is standard in new homes. Microcement has excellent thermal conductivity.

Microcement styles at Venetian Plaster Craft:

Industrial ConcreteThe raw, grey aesthetic typical of London or Manchester lofts.
Polished Concrete LookA finer variant with subtle reflections, for a clean and modern aesthetic.
Coloured Earth TonesShades of Sand, Terracotta or Greige for an organic, Mediterranean design.
