TL/DR:
- Decorative finishers are your go-to solution when it comes to camouflaging things like outlets, switches, thermostats and heat registers! It’s also a great solution when you find the perfect fixture, but it doesn’t come in the finish you need!
- The term “venetian plaster” is thrown around for all kinds of plaster finishes, but they aren’t all created equal. Partnering with a decorative finish professional can help make sure your designs will endure!
- There’s an industry group dedicated to decorative artists called IDAL. It’s a great resource if you’re looking to collaborate with a decorative painter.
