Venetian Plaster vs Paint: Which Lasts Longer?

Thinking about upgrading from standard paint? Venetian plaster brings depth, durability and a luxury sheen that elevates any space in Leeds, Ilkley and beyond.

Why Choose Venetian Plaster

  • Durable: Hard-wearing, resists scuffs better than paint.
  • Luxury texture: Rich movement and soft sheen.
  • Low maintenance: Wipeable and easy to refresh.
  • Breathable options: Lime-based plasters are eco‑friendly.
  • Custom looks: Polished, matte, metallic or microcement styles.

Best Places to Use It

  • Feature walls around media walls and fireplaces.
  • Hallways and stairwells for a seamless, durable finish.
  • Bathrooms/kitchens with a protective sealer applied.
  • Living rooms and entrances for a high-end first impression.

Every finish is hand-applied by our team at Ilkley & Leeds Bespoke Walls for a unique result that suits your light and layout. We can show samples and advise on colours to complement your furniture and flooring.
