It’s artisan finishes, custom creations and tasty texture. It’s walking into a room and having that ‘wow’ moment. It’s decorative details and handcrafted stencil applications. It’s accredited applicators and ‘not stopping until it’s right’. It’s honest and transparent pricing and a commitment to quality. And it’s knowing that we’ll treat your project with the respect it deserves. Now that’s Dope Deco!
When British lad Adam Slaughter landed in Oz, he had no trouble settling into work as a painter/decorator. With his eye for colour, over 15 years’ professional experience, top-drawer skills and attention to detail he quickly earnt a bunch of five-star reviews. But watching paint dry is about as interesting as, well, watching paint dry, so Adam turned his attention to artisan finishes and has never looked back. He’s now making a name for himself as the go-to guy for specialty applications, collaborating with some of Sydney’s most innovative designers and architects. In 2023, Adam was recognised as NSW Applicator of the Year by Italian plaster specialists Calce Company.
Think you know Venetian plaster? Think again. Dope Deco can introduce you to a world of textural possibilities which will give your project that real ‘wow’ factor. From the classic waves of Marmorino, or the marble mirror-finish of a polished Grassello, through to elaborate stencil applications and sculptural details, we have the talent (and trowel skills) to deliver on your design vision. And because our team of expert applicators invest countless hours in training and accreditation, you know the job will be done right first time.
We specialise in artisan finishes, using alternatives to traditional materials – such as stone, metal or concrete – to create custom features and one-of-a-kind installations.
We love collaborating with interior designers, architects and clients, calling on traditional techniques and modern application styles to deliver on their design vision.
We are certified Calce Company applicators, trained in the specialist techniques required to achieve signature decorative Venetian plaster styles, including Marmorino, Intonachino and Grassello.
We are also members of the Porter’s Paints Applicator Guild, one of a very small number of Sydney-based professionals entrusted to expertly apply their premium products and specialty finishes.
Some of our favourite projects have been working with designers to create unique commercial spaces, like restaurants, galleries, event venues and offices.
Although they are usually much larger, we bring the same level of personal care and attention to detail to our commercial projects as we do residential properties.
We have a deep appreciation for Australia’s heritage homes and love the challenge of reviving these historic buildings.
We work closely with builders, stonemasons, carpenters and plasterers to restore heritage properties and use high- tech protective coatings to maintain finishes and prevent further damage or disrepair.
We specialise in residential projects, including interiors, exteriors, decking and metal substrates.
We use tried and tested traditional methods, as well as the latest technology and machinery solutions to minimise the impact on you and the contents of your home and bring the highest standard of finish.
We use state-of-the-art equipment and apply our many years’ experience to ensure we deliver the highest quality wallpaper installation that will stand the test of time.
We handle all types of wall coverings, including hand printed papers, paper-backed fabrics, self-adhesive wallpaper, murals and photographic prints.

A mistake we see all the time, especially on strata jobs, is water damage to doors. Before they’re hung, doors should be primed at the top and bottom, especially if they’re being used for wet areas. Doors are often MDF lined with cheap, light material on the inside (to keep them light). But if you don’t prime, water can seep up from the floor and rot away the lining…
