Beyond our core plaster finishes, Trowel Designs creates fully custom decorative plaster work — from bold, Art Deco-inspired fluted columns and walls to rustic, heavily textured surfaces that bring rugged, natural character to a space. If you have a specific look in mind that doesn't fit neatly into a standard finish, this is where we bring it to life.
Popular Decorative Styles
- Fluted walls and columns — vertical grooved detailing that adds clean, architectural rhythm to a room; a defining feature of Art Deco design
- Textured, rustic plaster — heavier, hand-worked textures for a more organic, earthy feel
- Custom patterns and reliefs — bespoke designs tailored to a specific room or brief
Where Decorative Plaster Works Best
- Accent walls and entryways
- Fireplace surrounds
- Retail and commercial interiors (storefronts, salons, offices)
- Any space where a designer or homeowner wants a distinctive, one-of-a-kind architectural detail
Our Process
- Design consultation — we discuss references, photos, or a specific look you're going for
- Sample and mock-up of the proposed texture or pattern
- Hand application by our team
- Final walkthrough
We regularly collaborate directly with interior designers and builders to execute a specific vision as part of a larger project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match a specific design or reference photo?
Yes — we regularly work from reference photos, designer specs, or a general concept and create a sample before starting the full project.
Do you work directly with interior designers?
Yes, we frequently collaborate with designers and builders to execute decorative finishes as part of a broader renovation or build.
Is decorative plaster more expensive than standard finishes?
Custom decorative work generally takes more time to execute than a standard flat finish, so pricing varies by complexity — we'll walk you through this during your consultation.
