ARCHITECTURAL ORNAMENT

 

Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating & Colour Consulting offers painted finishes for architectural elements, including friezes, cornices, ceiling roses, pediments, pilasters and columns. Traditional decorative techniques like stipple and wipe, gilding, and hand painting can help restore decorative plasterwork and give a period look to new or replacement mouldings and architectural features. Marbling, wood graining, dragging, colour washes, metallic effects, antique patinas, and other faux finishes are available for doors, window casements, fireplaces, panelling, skirting boards, banisters, etc. We have worked extensively in Georgian, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, and Art Deco interiors. For each project we offer complimentary colour consultation and samples tailored to your goals.

Based in London, UK, Nicola Thwaites also works regionally and in Europe.
