Decorating the walls near the stairs with Travertino plaster is still in vogue. This decorative plaster imitates the exquisite travertine stone, looks stylish and adds status and warmth to the interior. Walls near stairs are high-traffic areas that are at increased risk of dirt and mechanical damage. That is why Travertino is an excellent choice for finishing this area, it is a durable coating that is both aesthetic and practical to use.
1. The Thousand Lines technique
This technique creates thin lines on the wall. The effect is achieved by applying the material in a thin layer and then “pulling” it with a 1000-line brush. The result is an elegant and complex texture that looks very modern and stylish. It visually expands the space and adds lightness to it.
2. Technique “Imitation of Travertine and Shell Rock”
This is a classic method of application, the purpose of which is to reproduce the look of natural polished or untreated stone as accurately as possible. Cavities (small depressions) and stains characteristic of travertine are formed on the surface. After partial drying, the surface is smoothed, which allows you to create the effect of stone blocks. This technique adds solidity and a sense of connection with nature to the interior.
The magic of Mini Lanterns
To maximize the beauty of Travertino's embossed texture, it is necessary to think about the lighting properly. One of the most effective solutions is the use of built-in mini-lamps (lamps), which are usually mounted at a low height from the floor along the stairs.
