Richard Bagguley is a London based international muralist and trompe l'oeil artist. As well as painting murals in London and the UK he has painted murals in Europe, Asia and USA spending time working with renowned trompe l'oeil artist John Pugh in California and Interior designer Sam Botero in New York.
With over 24 years experience working with specialist paint effects, faux finishes and the decorative arts he has undertaken small projects in private residences and large international commissions for interior designers and commercial projects including restaurants and night-clubs, completing over 450 commissions in 7 countries.
Incorporating Venetian polished plaster, he has in his team highly skilled operatives and 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. If required advice and direction in any aspect of the interior design or colour co-ordination can be given.
