Italian Decorative Finishes Crafted for Modern UK Interiors
Antichi Decori brings the elegance of Italian craftsmanship to residential and commercial interiors across the UK. As Italian decorative finishes specialists based in Bristol, we specialise in Venetian plaster, polished plaster, microcement, and the full range of Valpaint decorative systems.
Antichi Decori are Italian decorative finishes specialists based in Bristol, working with Venetian plaster, polished plaster, microcement, and bespoke Valpaint decorative coatings. As the official UK distributor for Valpaint — Italy’s leading decorative paint manufacturer — we supply premium Italian surface coatings and apply them to the highest professional standard. Furthermore, we serve homeowners, interior designers, architects, and contractors across Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham, Swindon, Cardiff, London, and the wider United Kingdom.
Our Background as Italian Decorative Finishes Specialists
Indeed, Antichi Decori was created with a clear vision: to elevate decorative finishes in the UK through authentic materials and skilled application. Specifically, our training began in Italy, where we learned the foundations of lime-based plasters and advanced decorative systems directly from Valpaint master craftsmen.
Furthermore, over the years, we have refined these skills through hands-on work in Bristol, Swindon, Bath, Cardiff, London, and nationwide. As a result, we have become a trusted partner for designers, architects, developers, and homeowners seeking high-quality, long-lasting finishes.
From Italy to Bristol — A Tradition of Craftsmanship
Because our work combines traditional Italian techniques with contemporary British design, every surface we create feels refined, durable, and beautifully made. In particular, our lime-based plasters are breathable and naturally sustainable — making them ideal for both period properties and modern UK interiors.
Moreover, our team continues to develop skills through ongoing collaboration with Valpaint’s technical team in Italy. Consequently, we remain at the forefront of decorative finishes in the UK — offering materials, application expertise, and professional training under one roof.
