Northern Ireland’s Premier Choice for Venetian Plaster

In the world of high-end interior design, the difference between a “room” and an “experience” lies in the details. In Northern Ireland, one name has become synonymous with the master craftsmanship required to create these atmospheres: Devlin In Design.

Specialising in Venetian and polished plaster, our team transforms surfaces into architectural statements. From the coastal grandeur of Newcastle to the vibrant heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, our portfolio features some of the most iconic hospitality venues in the country.

A Journey Through Our Portfolio

Our work is often the silent backdrop to Northern Ireland’s most memorable moments. We take pride in our ability to adapt traditional Italian techniques to fit any aesthetic, from classic luxury to industrial chic.

The Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle

Nestled at the foot of the Mountains of Mourne, this world-famous hotel required a finish that matched its prestige. We executed:

Venetian Plaster Ceilings: Creating a seamless, airy elegance overhead.
Restoration Work: Combining polished plaster ceilings with expertly French polished restored wooden columns and walls to bridge the gap between historic charm and modern luxury.

Belfast’s Hospitality Landmarks

Our craftsmanship is etched into the very walls of the city’s favorite spots:

The Europa Hotel: We brought a regal glow to this landmark with aged gold polished plaster and intricate textured ceiling finishes.
The Culloden Estate & Spa: Here, we focused on light and opulence, applying gold stucco and decorative surface finishes to the hotel’s majestic ceilings.
The Harp Bar: For a more atmospheric, “lived-in” luxury, we created a bespoke distressed ceiling paired with a striking red leather faux finish, perfectly capturing the bar’s soulful, traditional character.

Contemporary Commercial Spaces

Plaster isn’t just for grand hotels; it’s for brands that want to stand out.

BREW, NI: We combined modern minimalism with artisanal flair, featuring warm grey stucco walls embossed with a stunning gold leaf gilded logo.
Cafe Mauds, Belfast: We added texture and durability to this local favorite, applying stucco and polished plaster to the walls and pillars, proving that Venetian finishes are as practical as they are beautiful.

Why Choose Venetian Plaster?

The allure of Venetian plaster – often referred to as “polished plaster” – goes far beyond its visual appeal.

Bespoke Textures: Whether you desire the glass-like shine of Stucco Veneziano or the rugged, earthy feel of a distressed finish, every project is hand-applied and unique.
Sustainability: Authentic Venetian plaster is lime-based, making it naturally mould-resistant and “breathable,” which contributes to better indoor air quality.
Durability: Unlike wallpaper or paint, polished plaster is incredibly hard-wearing and develops a beautiful patina over time, making it an ideal investment for high-traffic commercial spaces.
