The right wall finish can make all the difference in your home’s design. That is why it is important to choose from a wide selection of plasters and specialty paints that are designed to create a unique and stylish look for any space.
Don’t get bored… I’ve just started writing this thing. You will soon be regaled with tales of dragons, wizards and robotic horses. Oh, and wall finishes too! Let’s begin.
Consider Lime Paint.
This is one of the most popular wall finishes right now. This lime paint is made by the company Portola. It is a traditional lime-based finish. In fact, the ingredients of most lime paints are just water and lime. This natural brush-applied coating dries to create a beautiful weathered patina with subtle movement and natural color variation.
Not only is this paint environmentally friendly and non-toxic, but it also allows your walls to breathe, preventing moisture build-up and preserving the natural beauty of your surfaces. Lime Paint is also durable and can be touched up, making it perfect for high-traffic areas or homes with children or pets or dragons.
This gray lime paint adds depth and dimension to the wall. The soft and subtle movement of the surface gives the room a lovely weathered patina, making the wall the perfect backdrop for any space. Whether you’re going for a modern or traditional look, lime paint is a versatile and stylish choice that can add character and warmth to your home.
Whether you’re looking for a classic, timeless look or something more modern and bold, lime paint may be a good match for your style and taste.
Dorwae loves using Gypsum Plaster.
Gypsum plaster is a traditional finish that has been used in construction and interior spaces for centuries. At Dorwae, we use gypsum plaster in an unconventional and unique way, creating a truly one-of-a-kind look for our clients.
So what is gypsum plaster, and why is it the best kept secret in interior design?
Gypsum plaster is made from gypsum (you probably guessed that), a naturally occurring mineral. It is durable and resistant to moisture, making it a great choice for both walls and ceilings. However, gypsum plaster is not easy to work with. It takes lots of training and practice to master this craft. The reason Dorwae Interiors loves this material is because it is perhaps the most versatile plaster out there. Just about any color and any texture that you can dream, this plaster is quite often the right choice.
Benefits of Gypsum Plaster:
Its ability to be easily shaped and molded. It is hand-applied by artisan plasterers making it a versatile choice. It can be troweled glass-smooth, which allows for a high level of precision and a flawless finish, and as I’ve said before, this type of plaster can also create amazing textures. You should find a good contractor. It’s definitely not a DIY thing. Take a look at Dorwae’s sample gallery for some inspiration.
Fire resistance. It is non-combustible, which makes it a safe choice for use in buildings and homes. It is not resistant to moisture, but with a topical sealer it can be used in damp or humid environments without fear of deterioration.
Gypsum plaster is also an environmentally-friendly building material. It is made from renewable resources. And since it is made from naturally occurring minerals, it will safely return to the earth after you have enjoyed having it in your home for a decade or two…or ten.
Explore the options offered by Dorwae and see how gypsum plaster can transform your space.
At Dorwae, we source our gypsum plaster from United States Gypsum Corporation (USG), a trusted manufacturer known for producing high-quality products. With USG gypsum plaster, you can trust that you are getting the best quality and durability for your home.
There are several different types of gypsum plaster available, but like I said we use our materials in unconventional ways. Each type has its own unique characteristics and is suitable for different types of application. This is how we are able to achieve such a wide variety of styles for your home. Gypsum plasters are at their best when troweled onto the wall by hand.
So, the artisan can really take advantage of the plaster’s great versatility to create stunning textures.
Whether you’re looking for a smooth, sleek finish or something more textured, gypsum plaster is a very stylish choice. It is a widely-used building material that offers a range of benefits, including versatility, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and environmental sustainability.
While it is still not yet on the radar of many interior designers and architects, we think that will be changing soon. When this plaster starts appearing in home design magazines you won’t be able to put the genie back in the bottle
Marmorino, take our word for it.
At Dorwae Interiors, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to elevate the design and aesthetics of our clients’ spaces. That’s why we are excited about Marmorino, a high-quality finish from the experts at Stucco Italiano.
The name ‘Marmorino’ has just recently become popular around the world. But this is a traditional Italian plaster finish that has been used for centuries.It can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to interior spaces. It is made with a blend of lime, marble, and natural pigments, resulting in a durable and long-lasting finish that is both beautiful and functional.
One of the key features of Marmorino is its versatility.
While it may not have the wide range of surface textures as gypsum, it certainly makes up for it with its other benefits. Of course it looks fantastic. But here comes the mic-drop… it’s such a strong plaster that it can be used not only on walls and ceilings, but even furniture! Yes, you can sit on a chair that was made with Marmorino and other microcements. Just imagine having a plaster bench in front of your plastered walls (are you designers out there drooling yet?). What a unique and cohesive look!
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Marmorino also offers a number of practical benefits. It is highly breathable, which means it helps regulate humidity and temperature in a space. It is also resistant to stains and easy to clean, making it a practical choice for high-traffic areas.
If you are looking to add a touch of luxury and timeless elegance to your interior spaces, consider Marmorino. With its versatility, durability, and sophistication, it is a great choice for any project. I don’t want to downplay its versatility. It is still available in a range of colors and finishes, from smooth and glossy to… You get the idea. Just try it and see for yourself. That’s an order!
