Venetian Palazzo Interior Design Ideas

Venetian palazzo style comes from the merchant palaces lining Venice's Grand Canal, built and redecorated from the Gothic period through the 18th century. Interiors feature polished Venetian plaster walls in faded coral or ochre, terrazzo floors, silk damask drapery, painted beamed ceilings, gilded mirrors and Murano glass chandeliers in delicate colours. The feeling is romantic, slightly faded and luminous with reflected light. Its plaster and terrazzo are surprisingly suited to warm Indian climates, both cool and easy to maintain.

For Indian homes

Lime-based polished plaster, close to Venetian stucco, breathes well in humid weather and can be applied by experienced Indian plaster artisans instead of paint on a feature wall.

Questions people ask

What is Venetian plaster?

It is a polished lime plaster applied in thin layers and burnished to a soft marble-like sheen. It has been used in Venice for centuries, resists humidity well and gives walls depth that paint cannot match.

How do I add Venetian touches without a palazzo?

Pick one luxurious element: a coloured glass chandelier, a gilt mirror or a polished plaster wall. Add a terrazzo or marble surface and a damask fabric, and keep the rest of the room simple.
