Venetian plastering is becoming increasingly popular as a decorative wall finish in bedrooms and living rooms. It is a great way to add texture and character to a space without having to invest in expensive wallpaper or paint.
Venetian plastering is a relatively easy DIY project that can transform your bedroom into a beautiful, stylish space. However, it is important to take your time and do the project correctly. Here are some ways you can use Venetian plastering in your bathroom.
1) Marmorino
Marmorino is a popular type of Venetian plaster that can be used to create a luxurious and eye-catching finish for your bathroom. It is composed of finely ground marble or limestone and resin or acrylic binders, which are applied in thin layers that can be quickly polished with a trowel to create a smooth, shiny surface.
Marmorino is available in a variety of colors and finishes, from glossy to matte, allowing you to customize the look of your bathroom according to your own individual style. It is both water-resistant and durable, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms that are exposed to high humidity or frequent cleaning.
2) Travertine
Travertine is an elegant type of natural stone that is often used for Venetian plaster in bathrooms. Travertine is known for its earthy color tones and unique patterns, often showcasing a variety of hues from cream to golden brown. This type of stone is a great choice for Venetian plaster in the bathroom, as it adds a luxurious and timeless look to the room. It also provides a durable and easy to clean surface.
Travertine Venetian plaster is best used in bathroom walls and ceilings. It can be applied in a polished or tumbled finish, depending on whether you want a glossy or matte look.
3) Stencil
Stenciling is one of the most popular ways to use Venetian plaster in the bathroom. This technique involves using a stencil to create a pattern or design onto your wall with the plaster.
You can use a standard stencil or have a custom stencil made to fit your wall. The plaster is applied with a trowel in thin layers, and the stencil is used to create a unique design. You can use a variety of colors to give a stunning look to your walls. Stenciling is an easy way to add texture and color to your bathroom walls.
4) Spatulato
Spatulato is a unique Venetian plaster technique that involves a trowel being used to create a textured, layered effect. This technique can be used to add depth and dimension to a bathroom wall, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. The trowel is used to spread the plaster in a comb-like pattern, creating a zig-zag pattern of ridges and valleys.
The ridges and valleys can be further enhanced by using different plaster colors, creating a beautiful two-toned effect. This technique is particularly suited for larger walls and can create a wide range of patterns and textures. Spatulato is an ideal choice for accent walls in bathrooms as it can create a dramatic and luxurious effect.
