“Richard Bagguley is one of the UK's best mural artists”


Richard Bagguley is a London based muralist and trompe l'oeil artist. As well as painting murals in London and the Uk he has painted murals all over the world spending time working with renowned trompe l'oeil artist John Pugh in California and Interior designer Sam Botero in New York.
With over 20 years experience working with faux finishes and paint effects he has undertaken small local projects in private residences and large international commissions for interior designers and commercial projects including restaurants and night-clubs, completing over 400 commissions in 6 countries.
He is also a trained armourcoat applicator and has a small team of operatives covering all aspects of Venetian polished plaster, as well as the normal range of finishes he creates his own bespoke finishes.

Richard's aim is to bring you a full spectrum of classical and modern finishes on a large or small scale. Giving you the breadth to choose from rich roman murals to simple economic water based specialist paint effects or a stunning classical mural with trompe l'oeil. For modern interiors the Venetian polished plaster is spectacular with shinny or pitted surfaces in a variation of colours.

Polished plaster can transform a period interior into having a contemporary feel and be used to turn a small restroom or lobby into a jewel.
