ToggleVenetian plaster is a high-end wall finish made from natural lime putty and marble dust. Applied in multiple thin layers and burnished to a smooth or slightly textured surface, it mimics polished stone or marble. The result is a luxurious, breathable, and eco-friendly surface that adds depth, character, and elegance to any room.
Originating from ancient Roman techniques, Venetian plaster was perfected during the Renaissance in Venice. Artisans developed the craft to reflect light off walls and create the illusion of depth in narrow Venetian spaces. Today, it continues to symbolize craftsmanship and timeless style.
In Colorado’s dry climate and diverse architectural styles, Venetian plaster provides both practical and aesthetic advantages:
Moisture-resistant and breathable
Natural mold resistance
Customizable color and texture
Durable and long-lasting
It works beautifully in living rooms, entryways, bathrooms (when sealed), upscale restaurants, boutique offices, and feature walls.
