It seems like everything comes back, right? And decorative plaster was no exception. For years we had it half forgotten, displaced by smooth, textureless walls, everything more minimal <\/em>and flat. But lately, something has changed. There's a shift, a return to detail, to craftsmanship. And that's where plaster finds its place again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curious thing is that it's not just a matter of fashion. Those who are using it\u2014whether architects, interior designers, or people who simply take great care of their homes\u2014are looking for something more: personality, naturalness, and a finish that doesn't look like it came from a factory. Because it has that, that's it. It has character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A material with a lot of history (and it doesn't seem like it)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people are rediscovering it now, as if it were the next big thing, but the truth is that it goes way back. A long way back. It was already used in ancient Rome, also in Morocco, in Venice\u2026 It's always been there, beautifying walls and protecting them at the same time. It wasn't just beautiful, it also served its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And today, with all the advances in materials, it's still used, but with techniques more tailored to what we need now: more resistance, more durability, and even waterproofing, in case you want to put it in humid areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of decorative plaster that are widely used<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each technique has its own twist, and the good thing is there's something for everyone. I'll tell you about some of the most well-known ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venetian stucco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The kind that shines almost like marble. Highly polished, very elegant. It's made by applying several layers of lime and marble dust, then polishing it until it achieves that mirror-like effect. It has a lot of presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marmorino<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

More discreet. It also contains lime, but the result is matte, with a soft, silky-smooth finish. Very adaptable. It works great in spaces that seek something more subdued or warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tadelakt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here we enter Moroccan territory. This finish is special because it's naturally waterproof. It's applied with black soap and leaves a seamless surface. Ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. It looks beautiful, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorative clay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many choose it for its eco-friendly nature. It regulates humidity and creates a very welcoming atmosphere. It has that organic touch that's sometimes hard to find with other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roman Clay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A blend of plaster and clay. The result is a surface with soft, somewhat irregular, mineral-like tones. It works well in simple, understated spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just for aesthetics? Not at all.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sure, it's pretty, but it's not just that. Decorative plaster also has practical advantages. And several:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
