Materials and finishes for textured decorations

When it comes to textured decorations, we enter a world of texture, depth, and light. Behind a seemingly "simple" wall lie a wide variety of options: lime-based coatings, modern stuccos, microresins, acrylics, or hybrid products that combine multiple technologies. Each has its own character and way of aging over time.

In this article, we provide an overview of the most commonly used materials, clearly explaining the differences between a natural finish and a more technical one. Lime-based solutions, for example, are ideal for those who prefer soft, slightly textured, and highly breathable surfaces. Decorative resins, on the other hand, allow for more compact and seamless effects, with superior resistance to impact and stains, perfect for high-traffic areas or "at-risk" spots, such as behind the sofa or in the hallway.

We also analyze concrete-effect products, travertine, stucco, and stone, which instantly lend a contemporary feel to a space. Here, the choice of thickness, grain, and type of final protection makes the difference between a merely beautiful wall and one that's both beautiful and practical for everyday use.

Finally, you can opt for more subtle textured decorations, perhaps for the entire home. In these cases, we offer combinations of soft, easy-to-clean finishes, playing with subtle variations in tone and texture, rather than bold color contrasts.

Some key questions to ask yourself before choosing a material: how much has the space been used for? Are there children or pets? How strong is the natural light?
