Decorative painting and specialist paint finishes play an important role in the revival and reinvention of interior design.

From  trompe l’oeil frescoes of Pompeii to  painted decorative plasterwork in Georgian interiors and Art Deco’s burnished surfaces, these traditional decorative techniques have added richness and depth.

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, faux fresco, dragging, cross strié, and stipple and wipe.

Specialist Paint Finishes for Traditional Design Schemes

Specialist paint finishes can restore and match original heritage interiors. They can also recreate a period look and feel.

Specialist Paint Finishes for Modern Interiors

We can also apply traditional paint techniques to contemporary interior design projects, accenting modern interiors with unique lustres, textures, and colour glazes.
