White polished plasters have a classic beauty, with a subtle yet sophisticated charm and appeal. Although with the absence of any pigment the finish has a more subdued appearance to how some people might expect. They are still perfectly smooth, with a glossy like sheen and with the decorative interaction between light and shade one would expect from marble plasters.

The natural mix of white marble and aged lime putty creates a finish that will complement any other decorative surface. In a room where colour or tiles have been applied to the walls, what better way to finish a room than use white polished plaster on the ceiling.

White polished plaster will stand alone though as an impressive display of decorative accomplishment, it is particularly in vogue with designers in London today in both residential and commercial design. The pure sphere of light and clearance that is established brings with it peace and harmony. The transition made on any premises with tired and aging decor, with be dramatic. With a new dimension that is easy on the eye, clear distinct lines shape the room allowing for decorative accents and company branding to shine through.

This finish is not without controversy, to some Venetian plasters should always be bold feature walls, with the maximum decorative style and sheen. They yearn for acrylics, pigments and synthetic waxes so as to dislocate the finished wall from the surrounding area. Using plaster without any pigment allows for the simplicity of white to cleanse the space, but still allowing for the delicate display of natural marble

Where these polished plasters differ from modern synthetic wall coverings, is that whilst the style shown is contemporary avant-guard, the presence echoes back in time to classic style and ornate mode.
