Feature Wall Venetian Plastering in Westdene

Homeowners throughout Westdene in West Sussex choose Sussex Interiors, and we serve neighbouring areas including Upper Hartfield and Wallands Park too.

For bathrooms and wet rooms, Tadelakt is applied and then sealed so it is genuinely water-resistant, unlike standard Venetian plaster which is decorative rather than waterproof. This is what allows a seamless, tactile plaster finish to be used where you would normally expect tiles, giving a wet area a soft, continuous surface with no grout lines to maintain.

Because a plaster finish is hard to judge from a description alone, we can show real project photography across different finishes and colour casts. Seeing how polished plaster, Marmorino and Tadelakt have turned out in other homes makes it far easier to picture the effect in your own room before any work is booked.

The finish itself is built up by hand in multiple thin coats rather than one thick application. Each layer is applied and then burnished before the next, which is what develops the depth, movement and light-reflective sheen that defines Venetian plaster. It is slow, deliberate work, and rushing it is exactly what flattens the final result, so we let the process take the time it needs.

Genuine polished plaster is a specialist finish, and it is not something most general decorating firms take on in-house. Because we have invested in the materials and the technique, the work stays with one team from preparation through to the final burnish rather than being subcontracted out, which is a large part of why the result comes out consistent.

Being genuinely local means a prompt site visit for Westdene enquiries, and the same applies for other areas we cover such as Twineham and Tompsets Bank.
