Marmorino plaster in Dubai
Marmorino is a lime-based Venetian plaster with fine marble, applied by hand in thin layers. It can stay soft and stone-like or be burnished to a quiet sheen, so the same wall can feel calm or quietly luxurious depending on how it is finished.
How it is made
Each layer is trowelled and compressed by hand, which creates soft movement and depth that paint cannot imitate. Because it is mineral, the tone shifts gently with the light through the day. No two walls are identical, which is the point. Lime and marble plasters like this have finished Venetian palaces for centuries: the lime slowly absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and hardens back toward stone as it cures.
How it looks
Soft stone movement in side light, from matte to a low polished sheen. Works beautifully in warm whites, sand, greige and deeper earth tones.

Questions about Marmorino
Is Marmorino the same as Venetian plaster?
Marmorino is one type of Venetian plaster. It has a slightly more stone-like, mineral character than the high-gloss polished versions, and it can be finished matte or with a soft sheen.
Can Marmorino go on an existing painted wall?
Usually, yes, once the wall is checked and prepared correctly. Send photos of the wall and we will tell you what preparation it needs.
Can I choose the colour?
Yes. Marmorino is tinted, and we confirm the tone with a physical sample before starting, because screens cannot show mineral colour accurately.
