What Decorative Painter Diane Williams wishes Interior Designers knew…
<p><strong>As interior designers we each work differently from our colleagues — so it makes sense that artists would be the same!</strong></p>

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