Blog
Venetian plaster is a natural lime-based decorative finish originating in Italy. It creates a smooth or polished surface with depth and movement that paint cannot replicate. It’s popular for luxury interiors because it reflects light beautifully and ages well over time.
We supply a wide range of Valpaint decorative wall finishes in the UK, including Venetian plaster systems, textured decorative plasters, concrete and cement-effect finishes, metallic effects and microcement systems. Each finish can be customised in colour, texture and sheen.
Are Valpaint finishes suitable for bathrooms and wet areas?
Yes. Many Valpaint finishes are suitable for bathrooms, showers and wet areas when the correct system and protective sealers are used. We always advise on the most suitable decorative plaster system depending on moisture levels and usage.

Our training programmes are designed for professionals who want to master high‑quality decorative finishes. Each session focuses on practical, hands‑on learning using the full range of Valpaint systems, including Venetian plaster, microcement and advanced decorative textures.

Wonderful service from a great company. We love our silver feature lounge wall. Andrea did a Wonderful job and was so pleasant to interact with. Everyone thinks it is a wallpaper- not paint.
I cannot recommend Andrea and his team more!! This is the second time I avail of their services and I have already booked them again for another big job in January. Andrea's professionalism and attention to details is unmatched. His meticulousness, expertise, punctuality and passion have exceeded my expectations. He is very knowledgable, goes above and beyond the terms negotiated and he always delivers high standard results. I have attached images of my new feature wall in the kitchen - which everyone loves!! The exceptional paint makes it look like a living wall, like real moss, and it reflects the light beautifully. Thank you Andrea and Team!!!
