Vancouver Decorative Painting Services

Yesterday: Our pedigree and passion for decorative embellishments dates back to 1992, where we studied out of our Westside Studio, making R&D discoveries in organic decorative painting techniques(a 1st at that time) in Vancouver.

A decorative journey has evolved since that time, yet our standards for fine arts 'pushing the envelope' has continued.

Today: Lime Plaster is the common medium for our craft, while others tend to look to just walls and ceiling, we see a distinct option to surfacing traditional architecture. Distinct Interiors is the leader in applying Lime Plasters to Mantels, Counter-tops, Back Splashes and Wall Features.

Decorative Painting Trends

Our passion lies with decorative finishing - faux, lime, plaster, murals and wood restoration. Faux or decorative finishing was all the rage in the 90’s, along with murals. Glazes and multi layered glazes were the popular decorative painting techniques and were abound in restaurants and homes, decorative stenciling came to fashion in the late 90’s with damasks and is still used today in decorative painting. A more popular trend in Vancouver is silhouettes patterns and bar coding in interiors these days. This is where our decorative painting demand has been.

The trend we see, is that home owners and designers are becoming more educated for such ‘green’ products. The demand is high and having the decorative finishing experience with Lime plasters is crucial. Although the Lime Plaster products have been around for centuries there is a misconception that they are for ‘older or rustic’ looking interiors.

But, we see the opposite, we use decorative finishing techniques from today and craftsmanship of yesterday in concert to make the lime plasters into non traditional applications and features. Custom Lime Plaster finishes make very distinctive decorative finishes for today’s interiors!

Since becoming a dad in recent years, Randy realized the importance and need for ‘green’ paint products, so he created a line of colour ( 10 colours ) Chalkboard Paints perfect for kids and interior decorating details. “They are eco-friendly, good for virtually any surface that you can paint and turn into Chalkboard surface. There is more than just black and white when it comes chalkboards, now there is colour!”
