Is Venetian Plaster Outdated?

 

On the contrary, it has undergone a renaissance several times, as its value has been 100% proven and appreciated, and its techniques continuously refined.  Householders are returning to traditional materials and methods for ensuring superior quality and sustainability, especially in times of climate uncertainty.   

Certain inferior composites used as a temporary economic strategy generally create much disappointment after a few months have elapsed.  Other styles of décor will naturally be invented in due course.  But we can observe an overridingly positive reaction when a truly excellent product is widely recognised and deservedly holds a secure place on the market.

Once, wallpaper was the accepted and prestigious solution for covering interior walls, with a wide range of designs and prices. However, it often proved a great drama to hang it properly, with all the difficulties involved in evenly glueing and aligning the long strips. And while detailed,  repetitive patterns were popular, now it’s considered preferable to have a plain background to mount focused images on, that can be changed easily if desired, as in a gallery.

Venetian plastering methods without doubt offer more elegant solutions for domestic and commercial premises, a clear statement of integrity.  A stimulus and a harbour like no other, conveying a sensation of timelessness.  Fashions may come and go if that is what you prefer, but the quality is intrinsic and universally understood on instinctive levels.
