The decorative finish originated from the 1st century. It’s used to imitate natural stone and surfaces. The technique involves a lot of layers with short overlapping strokes. The Roman Empire popularized the technique by using it inside cathedrals and other structures. Throughout history, Venetian plaster has been seen in art, architecture, and design.
There are many different styles that can involve a plaster finish. The image above features fluted plaster walls. It creates an elegant and luxurious design. I fell down a rabbit hole and found more plaster wall designs by Kamp Studios. I hope you found this blog post helpful.
