Venetian Plaster

Experience the Enduring Beauty of Authentic Venetian Plaster

In a world of mass-produced materials and synthetic substitutes, true Venetian plaster stands apart as an authentic expression of timeless craftsmanship. At Deco Style, we specialize in applying this traditional Italian technique throughout Greater NYC and Long Island, creating walls and surfaces with unmatched depth, luminosity, and character.

Our skilled artisans meticulously apply multiple thin layers of natural limestone plaster, carefully burnishing each application to create surfaces that capture and play with light in ways that conventional wall treatments simply cannot achieve. The result is not merely a finish, but a living surface that develops character over time and connects modern spaces to centuries of architectural tradition.

Our Authentic Venetian Plaster Process

1. Comprehensive Surface Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your walls:

• Analyze existing surface conditions and structural integrity

• Identify any moisture, texture, or preparation concerns

• Discuss your aesthetic goals and functional requirements

• Consider lighting conditions that will interact with the finish

• Develop a tailored approach for your specific space

2. Meticulous Surface Preparation

The foundation for exceptional Venetian plaster:

• Properly clean and prepare wall surfaces

• Address any imperfections or damage

• Apply appropriate primers and base coats

• Create sample areas for color and finish approval

• Protect surrounding areas from the application process

3. Artisanal Application Techniques

Our skilled craftspeople employ traditional methods:

• Apply multiple thin layers of natural limestone plaster

• Build depth through successive applications

• Execute meticulous troweling techniques for proper texture

• Burnish surfaces to the desired level of sheen

• Apply appropriate protective treatments when needed
