SPECIALIST PAINT FINISHES

 

Specialist paint finishes and decorative painting have played an important role in the revival and reinvention of interior design, from the trompe l’oeil frescoes of Pompeii, the hand-painted details and painted plaster of Georgian interiors, to Art Deco’s burnished surfaces. Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating – London UK - offers wood graining, stone blocking, marbling, gilding and metallic paint effects, in addition to broken finishes such as colour washes, colour glazes, fresco, dragging, cross strié, and stipple and wipe. These specialist paint finishes can be applied to create a period look and feel, or to restore and match original interiors. The techniques can also be applied successfully to contemporary projects, accenting even minimalist interiors with unique lustres, textures and colour glazes.

Though based in London, UK Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating also works regionally and in Paris.
