Decorative Plaster

Request a Consultation

Start with a sample consultation. See the material before you decide.

Sample Board

A sample board is the real finish - actual texture, sheen, and depth, applied to substrate in your own light. You approve a real result, not a photograph, and we confirm substrate and waterproofing needs before any work begins.

Close-Out Deliverables

At close-out, you receive a formula record with pigment ratios, material and product data sheets, application photographs by stage, sealer specification, and a care guide for your finish type.

Decorative Plaster

Venetian plasters are a family of lime and marble-dust finishes worked by trowel in multiple passes. Each product in this family has a distinct grain size, sheen level, and trowel character. The result - from mirror-polished Grassello to satin-coarse Marmorino - is determined by the material chosen and the number of passes applied. All are interior finishes. All are lime-based. All reward skilled application with a surface depth that paint cannot replicate.

Grassello

The finest and most polished of the Venetian plaster family. Pure slaked lime putty worked under high pressure to achieve a true mirror-like surface. No aggregate - maximum reflectivity and depth. The benchmark for high-polish interior walls in formal and luxury residential spaces.

Marmorino Fine

Fine-grain Venetian plaster with pronounced trowel movement and a depth of surface that reads differently at different angles. Glossy without being mirror-like. The most versatile of the Marmorino family - suited to residential and commercial interiors where character matters as much as finish level.

Marmorino Medium

Medium-grain Venetian plaster with a more restrained trowel movement than Marmorino Fine. The visible aggregate gives the surface a natural, mineral quality with moderate sheen -warmer and more textured than the finer grades. A strong choice for residential interiors with a natural or transitional aesthetic.

Marmorino Coarse

Large-grain Venetian plaster with a uniform satin finish and the faint light-and-shadow (chiaroscuro) effect produced by the visible aggregate size. The most textured and organic of the Marmorino family. Well-suited to spaces where a stone-like presence is the intent - coastal, rustic, or contemporary natural interiors.

Our Process

Whether the brief is a mirror-polished Grassello feature wall or a Marmorino Medium, the discipline is the same: discovery, sample board approval, surface prep for that finish, and a documented close-out. The finish changes. The process does not.

Step - 01

Discovery

We review the space and substrate so the finish has a sound, smooth base - and settle finish, color, and scope before anything goes on the wall.

Step - 02

Sample Board

You approve color, texture, and sheen on a board in your light, so the finish is settled before prep begins.

Step - 03

Surface Prep & Application

We prep only as the finish requires - primer, light leveling, small touch-ups - then build the lime coats. Drywall hanging, taping, and Level 4–5 finishing are handled by others before we start.

Step - 04

Close-Out

You leave with materials used, care notes, and a photo record for your files.
