Crossword Genius

Painter I ordered to plaster home (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interior

'home' is the definition.
('interior' can be a synonym of 'home')

'painter i ordered to plaster' is the wordplay.
'to plaster' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'plasters' mean this (to plaster can mean to cover up)).
'INTERIOR' can be found hidden inside 'painter i ordered'.

(Other definitions for interior that I've seen before include "Domestic" , "upcountry" , "The area inside" , "Heartland" , "The region inside" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
