🌿 Heritage Craft & Natural Finishes

Traditional techniques. Eco-conscious materials. Soulful surfaces.

At Precious Wall Finishes, we specialise in heritage craft techniques rooted in both tradition and eco-conscious values. From natural limewashes and mineral-based paints to hand-applied gilding and historical restorations, our finishes are designed to honour both the building and the environment.

Every wall we work on becomes a living surface - breathable, beautiful, and built to last.

1. Traditional & Historic Finishes

We use time-honoured materials and methods that have stood the test of centuries. Our finishes are ideal for restoring heritage homes, stone cottages, timber interiors, and sacred spaces.

Services include:

• Natural limewash, casein, and clay-based paints

• Silicate paint systems for breathable, long-lasting walls

• Reproduction of historic wall textures and colours

• Restoration of original plaster finishes and decorative details

💡 All products are eco-conscious, toxin-free, and designed to harmonise with the building’s natural breathability.

✨ 2. Decorative Techniques & Surface Artistry

Informed by European traditions and contemporary natural building culture, our decorative work draws from centuries-old aesthetics.

Offerings:

• Hand-applied pigment washes and patinas

• Faux finishes such as stone, marble, and age-distressed surfaces

• Soft transitions of colour and light using natural binders

• Bespoke flourishes, symbols, and features for sacred or meaningful spaces

🖌 Each finish is crafted slowly and deliberately, layer by layer, to ensure depth and presence.

🌱 3. Eco-Conscious Materials & Methods

We believe in finishes that support the health of your home and the planet.

• All paints and coatings are VOC-free, biodegradable, and naturally derived

• We use lime, earth pigments, mineral silicates, and plant-based binders

• Every surface is approached with respect for longevity, sustainability, and honesty of materials

🌍 Our finishes are not trends - they’re traditions reawakened.

🧱 Paint Removal & Brickwork Reveal – Heritage Building, Tenterfield

We uncovered the original 100+ year-old brickwork of this heritage site by removing multiple layers of old paint.
Due to budget constraints, we used a mechanical method—a more hands-on, labour-intensive approach that offered a practical solution for this client.

✔️ Lead-safe
✔️ Cost-effective
✔️ Full transparency about process and outcomes

Every heritage building tells its own story—we help reveal it with care and respect.
