Venetian Plaster Feature Walls in Bishopsworth, Bristol

Venetian plaster feature walls in Bishopsworth, Bristol. One wall finished in polished plaster to give a room a focus, at a fraction of the cost of doing all four.

Picking the Right Wall to Feature

The best wall is usually the one you look at when you walk in, or the one behind a bed, sofa or fireplace. Walls broken up by doors and windows are the wrong choice, because there is not enough unbroken surface for the finish to show. We will walk the room with you first.

Matching a Feature Wall to the Rest of the Room

A feature wall works when the other three walls step back. Keeping them in a plain, quiet colour drawn from the plaster lets the finish do the work. Going too far the other way, with strong colour on every wall, means nothing stands out and the room feels crowded.

Timescales for a Single Wall

Once the wall underneath is flat and sound, a feature wall is usually two days: base coat and first pass on day one, final coats and burnishing on day two. If the wall needs replastering first, allow drying time before we start, which we set out in the quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Venetian plaster feature wall cost in Bristol?

It is priced by the square metre, so a single wall costs far less than a full room. The condition of the wall underneath makes the biggest difference, since a wall needing replastering first adds work. We measure up and quote for free, with no charge for coming out to look.

Which room suits a feature wall best?

Living rooms and bedrooms are the most popular, usually behind a sofa or a bed. Dining rooms and hallways work well too, because you see the wall from a distance. The main thing is picking a wall with a decent run of unbroken surface and some side light on it.

Can a feature wall be extended to the rest of the room later?

Yes, and plenty of customers do exactly that. We keep a record of the base colour and the mix used, so the later walls can be matched to the first. Since each wall is hand applied there will be slight variation, which is part of how the finish looks anyway.
