Why Designers Choose
Venetian Plaster
Creates Architectural Depth
Venetian Plaster is not a flat finish, it introduces subtle movement, depth, and material variation that evolve with light.
Hand-troweled plaster finishes allow designers to move beyond paint and create surfaces that feel intentional, layered, and architectural.
Fully Custom & Project-Specific Finishes
Every surface is developed as a custom plaster finish, tailored to the scale, lighting, and architectural intent of the space.
From subtle, minimal textures to expressive relief plaster finishes, this flexibility allows designers to achieve highly specific design visions that standard materials cannot replicate.
Integrated into the Architecture
Venetian plaster is developed to become part of the architectural language of the interior.
Each finish help unify materials, soften transitions, and support the overall composition of the space.
Natural Mineral Materials
for Elevated Interiors
Made from natural lime, marble dust and other natural minerals, Venetian plaster brings a material authenticity that aligns with high-end, design-driven interiors.
It contributes to a more refined, organic and timeless palette.

Frequently asked questions
What are decorative finishes, and how are they different from regular wall paint?
Decorative finishes are special materials that add unique textures and effects to your walls. Unlike regular paint, they can mimic the look of stone, concrete, velvet, and other stylish surfaces, giving your space a high-end appearance.
What types of decorative finishes do you offer, and how are they different?
We offer a range of finishes, including thin-layer and thick-layer options. Thin-layer finishes give a smooth, polished look, while thick-layer finishes create more texture and depth. These finishes can imitate materials like concrete, stone, metal, or wood, offering a variety of stylish looks to match your interior.
Are decorative finishes good for humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, many decorative finishes are perfect for humid spaces. We use moisture-resistant and mold-resistant materials, making them a great fit for bathrooms and kitchens. With the right surface prep and choice of materials, these finishes last a long time in wet areas.
How long do decorative finishes last? Will they need to be updated?
When applied correctly and maintained well, decorative finishes can look great for 10-15 years or even longer. They usually don’t need updates unless there’s damage or you want to change the look of your space.
What materials are used for decorative finishes? Are they safe?
We only use top-quality, eco-friendly materials that meet all U.S. safety standards. They are free of toxic substances and completely safe for use in all parts of your home, including kids’ rooms.
Can I choose any color and texture I want for the finish?
Yes, you can! We offer a wide range of colors and textures. We can customize the finish to get the exact look you want, whether it’s a specific color or a unique texture that matches your style.
What’s the process for applying decorative finishes, and how long does it take?
The process depends on the type of finish you choose. It generally includes surface preparation, applying multiple layers, and finishing touches. The time needed can vary from a few hours to several days based on the size of the area and the complexity of the design.
Do I need to prepare the room before you start applying the decorative finishes?
It’s best to move furniture away from the walls and take down any wall decor like pictures or shelves. Don’t worry about covering things up — we always protect all furniture and floors to make sure everything stays clean and safe during the work.
How do I care for walls with decorative finishes? Are they easy to clean?
Decorative finishes are generally low-maintenance. You can simply wipe the walls with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaners to keep the finish in good shape. We provide specific care tips based on the type of finish you choose.
Can decorative finishes be used on exterior walls, or are they just for indoors?
Some decorative finishes can be used outside if they are designed to withstand weather conditions. However, most are intended for indoor use. We can help you select the right materials for your specific needs.
