Our Story: From Fine Woodwork to Heritage Plastering

About Us
Our story began back in 2016, when we—Dane and Kelly Richardson—launched Barnhouse Interiors as a family-run business rooted in traditional woodworking and fine furniture making. What started as a passion for crafting timeless pieces by hand soon grew into a successful venture, with our work reaching homes in over 15 countries and earning recognition for its quality, design, and personal touch.
As our love for restoring and enhancing living spaces grew, so did our interest in the materials and finishes that bring character to a home. This led us to retrain and specialise in the art of plastering—particularly traditional lime plastering and Venetian finishes. Drawing from our background in craftsmanship, we found a natural transition from joinery to heritage plastering, where attention to detail and skill are just as vital.
Today, Barnhouse focuses exclusively on plastering—offering a blend of traditional methods and contemporary design. Whether working with the breathable beauty of lime or the polished elegance of Venetian plaster, we bring the same care, passion, and craftsmanship that defined our early days in furniture making.
Our Expertise
With deep roots in hands-on craftsmanship, we approach every project with creativity, precision, and respect for the materials we work with. We specialise in traditional lime plastering for period properties and luxurious Venetian plaster for modern interiors, creating finishes that are as beautiful as they are durable.
Our Commitment
At Barnhouse, we’re proud to deliver high standards in every job we take on. From the first conversation to the final trowel mark, our focus is on craftsmanship, honesty, and creating something that lasts. We take the time to understand your vision and use our skills to bring it to life.
Whether you’re restoring a heritage building or upgrading your space with a contemporary finish, we’re here to help. Get in touch today to learn more and book a consultation.
