The Venetian Plaster Trend in Interior Design

​In 2025, Venetian plaster range hoods are redefining kitchen design, offering a harmonious blend of texture, elegance, and timeless appeal. Traditionally functional elements, range hoods are now becoming focal points, with Venetian plaster serving as the ideal finish to elevate their presence. This centuries-old material introduces soft movement, natural depth, and a luxurious aesthetic, transforming kitchens from ordinary to extraordinary.​

While sleek stainless steel and traditional wooden hoods have had their moments, the shift toward warm, organic finishes has propelled Venetian plaster into the spotlight. This material, with its subtle texture and artisanal finish, turns a simple range hood into an architectural centerpiece. Homeowners and designers alike are embracing the beauty of handcrafted imperfections and a finish that evolves with light and time. Whether in a rustic farmhouse, a sleek modern kitchen, or a European-inspired space, Venetian plaster seamlessly integrates into various design styles, imparting warmth and refinement.​

More than just a trend, Venetian plaster range hoods signify a shift toward bespoke, high-quality materials that add depth and character, moving away from sterile, mass-produced finishes. In 2025, incorporating a Venetian plaster range hood is the ultimate kitchen upgrade.

Why Choose Venetian Plaster?

Venetian plaster is a centuries-old technique crafted from slaked lime and marble dust, creating a natural, breathable surface that emulates the look of smooth stone or polished plaster. Unlike flat paint or drywall, Venetian plaster offers depth, movement, and a soft, organic texture that interacts beautifully with changing light.​

Benefits of a Venetian Plaster Range Hood

  • Soft, Textured Elegance – The subtle variations in tone and texture make the hood feel like a handcrafted art piece rather than merely an appliance cover.

  • Timeless Appeal – This finish blends seamlessly with modern, rustic, and traditional kitchens, making it a lasting design choice.

  • Durability & Easy Maintenance – Venetian plaster is naturally mold-resistant, breathable, and can be sealed for added protection, making it ideal for kitchen environments.

  • Customizable Colours & Finishes – Whether you prefer a bright, airy white or a warmer, earthy tone, Venetian plaster can be tinted to match any design vision.

We are very happy to recommend Chromatist Painters. Leaders Shayan and Donya were extremely professional and delightful to work with, and their crew were hardworking, respectful of our house and furnishings, and did a beautiful job of painting our living room/dining room, kitchen and upstairs hallway. All of our concerns were addressed immediately, and always with a smile — and calls and texts to Shayan or Donya were returned promptly. Chromatist was not the cheapest, but this was a case of you get what you pay for. Initially, we had wanted to rip out our kitchen cupboards, but Chromatist persuaded us that their method of repainting cupboards would not only look beautiful but also would be durable. We are very happy with the outcome and the cost-saving over installing a new kitchen. All in all we couldn’t be happier, and we highly recommend their services.

  •  What is a Venetian plaster range hood?

    A Venetian plaster range hood is a custom kitchen hood finished with natural lime-based plaster to achieve a refined, sculptural look. It creates a smooth, matte or subtly textured surface with depth and movement, often resembling stone, marble, or concrete. This artisanal finish becomes a focal point in any kitchen, blending functionality with timeless elegance.

  •  Is Venetian plaster heat-resistant enough for a range hood?

    Yes. Venetian plaster is naturally heat-resistant, making it ideal for range hoods. When professionally applied and sealed, it holds up well to the ambient heat, steam, and humidity found in kitchens.

  • Can I customize the colour and finish?

    Absolutely. Venetian plaster is fully customizable—from soft whites and organic earthy neutrals to dark, moody tones. You can choose between matte, satin, metallic, or polished finishes depending on the look you’re going for (e.g., minimalist, rustic, or high-end gloss).

  • How durable is Venetian plaster in a kitchen setting?

    Venetian plaster requires minimal maintenance. Gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges. Re-sealing every few years can help maintain the finish.

  • Can you apply Venetian plaster over an existing range hood?

  • How does Venetian plaster compare to Tadelakt, Microcement, and Roman Clay for range hoods?

    While all four finishes—Venetian plaster, Tadelakt, Microcement, and Roman Clay—offer unique textures and aesthetics, they differ in performance and application. Venetian plaster is a lime-based finish that delivers a smooth or subtly textured, stone-like appearance, ideal for adding elegance and depth to a range hood. Tadelakt, also lime-based, is highly water-resistant, making it better suited for wet areas like showers but still usable on range hoods for a softer, organic look. Microcement is a cement-based coating known for its industrial, seamless finish and extreme durability, but it lacks the natural movement and depth of plaster. Roman Clay provides a matte, earthy, clay-like surface with visible variation, perfect for rustic or modern bohemian styles, though it’s less heat-resistant than Venetian plaster. For kitchens, Venetian plaster offers the best combination of heat resistance, timeless beauty, and customization options, while the others may be chosen for specific stylistic or functional needs.

    Finish Type Material Base Heat Resistance Water Resistance Texture & Look Customization Best Use in Kitchens
    Venetian Plaster Lime-based plaster ★★★★☆ ★★★☆☆ Smooth to subtly textured; stone, marble, or concrete-like movement Wide color range; matte, satin, metallic, or polished Ideal for range hoods where elegance, heat resistance, and custom finishes are desired
    Tadelakt Lime-based plaster with olive soap treatment ★★★★☆ ★★★★★ Smooth, slightly glossy; natural variation Mostly earthy tones; limited high-gloss options Better for wet areas like backsplashes; can work on range hoods if sealed well
    Microcement Cement-based coating ★★★★★ ★★★★☆ Seamless, industrial, modern aesthetic Wide color range but less movement than plaster Perfect for ultra-modern kitchens needing high durability
    Roman Clay Clay and mineral-based plaster ★★★☆☆ ★★☆☆☆ Matte, soft, earthy texture with visible variation Earthy, organic colors Works for feature walls; less suitable for high-heat areas without sealing
