Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating, London UK, offers specialist painted finishes for interior architectural ornament, including decorative plaster, friezes, cornices, ceiling roses, pediments, pilasters and columns.

Traditional decorative techniques like stipple and wipe, gilding, and hand painting can help restore decorative plasterwork. Paint effects can also give a period look to new or replacement mouldings and other architectural features.

Marbling, wood graining, gilding, dragging, colour glazes, metallic effects, antique patinas, and other faux finishes are available for doors, window casements, fireplaces, panelling, skirting boards, banisters, furniture, and architectural ornament.

We have worked extensively in Georgian, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, and Art Deco interiors.

Based primarily in London and the south, Nicola Thwaites Specialist Decorating London works with interior designers, architects and  private clients. As a small business with 30 years in the field, we are experienced, reliable, creative and competitive.
