HAND-APPLIED · BURNISHED · TIMELESS

What Is Venetian Plaster?

Venetian Plaster is a natural, lime-based finish hand-trowelled and burnished directly onto walls and ceilings. Applied in thin layers and built up over time, it produces a surface with genuine depth, luminosity and movement — one that shifts in character with the light throughout the day.

It is a breathable, mineral-based material that becomes part of the wall itself. No paint, no wallpaper, and nothing manufactured can replicate what it produces.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS

Every finish is unique — hand-crafted to suit the space, the light and the client's vision.

Feature Walls

A single Venetian Plaster feature wall transforms an entire room — creating depth, texture, and a focal point that paint simply cannot achieve.

Living & Dining Areas

Warm, luminous and deeply tactile — Venetian Plaster brings a richness to living and dining spaces that evolves with the light throughout the day.

Bedrooms

Subtle, tactile, and deeply calming — Venetian Plaster in a bedroom creates an atmosphere of quiet luxury that feels entirely bespoke.

Ceilings

Often overlooked, the ceiling becomes a statement surface with Venetian Plaster — adding dimension and craftsmanship that elevates the entire room.

Hallways & Entryways

The first thing guests experience. Venetian Plaster in an entryway sets the tone for the entire home — refined, intentional, and impossible to ignore.

Commercial & Hospitality

Restaurants, hotels and offices demand surfaces that impress on arrival and endure over time. Venetian Plaster delivers a finish that becomes part of the identity of a space.

SMOOTH · MARBLE-LIKE · TIMELESS

MARMORINO

Marmorino is a smooth and marble-like finish that is often favoured by designers and architects for its timeless elegance and its ability to add sophistication to any walls, ceilings and doors. Suitable for interiors only.

Firstly, it's marble-like. Trowelled and polished to a surface that mirrors the look of natural stone — without the cost, weight or limitations of real marble.

It's also naturally warm. Marmorino carries a depth and warmth that no synthetic finish can replicate — every application is entirely unique.

Another key quality is its breathability. Marmorino's lime-based formula breathes naturally within interior walls — regulating moisture and improving air quality as it cures.

From a design perspective, it offers unlimited colour options. From soft chalky whites to deep saturated tones drawn directly from natural stone — tinted to any specification.

Lastly, it's timeless. Marmorino has been used in Italian architecture for over 500 years. That's not tradition for tradition's sake — it's proof that the material simply works.

GLOSSY · REFINED · LUXURIOUS

POLISHED PLASTER

Polished Plaster is the most glamorous of all decorative finishes — a high-gloss surface that captures light and reflects it back with the depth and richness of natural marble. Suitable for interiors only.

Firstly, it's high-gloss. The final burnishing stage brings Polished Plaster to a mirror-like sheen — a reflective, luminous surface that elevates any space instantly.

It's also deeply textural. Built up in multiple layers, each one trowelled and burnished by hand — producing a surface of extraordinary depth entirely unique to the space it inhabits.

From a design perspective, it delivers marble without the limitations. All the visual depth and richness of natural stone — low-maintenance and at a fraction of the cost.

TEXTURED · ORGANIC · WARM

PITTED PLASTER

Pitted Plaster is a stone-like effect that has a gentle pitted texture depending on grain size and client requirements. The unique characteristics of this finish give an inherent warmth and appeal. Suitable for both interiors and exteriors.

Firstly, it imitates natural. Pitted Plaster replicates the surface of natural stone — without the limitations of working with real stone.

It's also variable. Grain size and texture depth are selected to suit the space — from a fine, barely-there texture to a bold, deeply pitted surface that commands attention.

Another key quality is its versatility. Unlike most decorative finishes, Pitted Plaster is formulated for both interior and exterior use — durable, breathable and built for Australian conditions.

INDUSTRIAL · CONTEMPORARY · ARCHITECTURAL

CONCRETE IMITATION

Concrete Imitation replicates the raw, industrial character of real architectural concrete — without the structural requirements, the cost, or the limitations. Bold, contemporary and increasingly specified by architects and interior designers.

Firstly, it's tonally varied. Concrete Imitation builds up the natural tonal variation and surface depth that makes concrete so compelling as a design material.

It's also versatile. Formulated for both interior and exterior use — Concrete Imitation performs wherever the concrete aesthetic is called for. It can bond directly over existing surfaces. No demolition, no structural work — just a clean concrete finish applied by hand over whatever is already there.

Lastly, it's low maintenance. Once sealed, Concrete Imitation is resistant to staining and daily wear — easy to maintain and built to hold its character long term.
