Specialty Wall Finishes & Accent Features
These are the finishes that make a room feel designed. Tadelakt and microcement bring depth and texture that flat paint cannot. Slat wood and board-and-batten add rhythm and shadow. All of it is craft work — applied by hand, in layers, and done wrong it looks cheap. We do it right.

How It Works
From First Call To Final Walkthrough
The same four steps on every job of this type, so you always know what happens next.
Sample boards
We make physical sample boards in your chosen finish and color so you approve the real texture, not a photo online.
Surface prep
Walls skim-coated smooth and primed with the correct base coat for the finish system.
Application
Applied by hand in multiple layers, with cure time between each — this is what creates the depth.
Burnish & seal
Polished to the agreed sheen and sealed where the finish needs protection from water or wear.

Accent Walls & Finishes FAQ
Questions About This Service
Do not see your question here? Call us — we would rather answer it now than after you have booked.
Can tadelakt go in a wet shower?
Yes — it is traditionally a hammam finish. It must be sealed correctly with olive soap and maintained, and we will walk you through that.
How is microcement different from concrete?
It is a thin, flexible coating a few millimeters thick that bonds over existing surfaces — no demolition and no structural weight.
Will an accent wall date quickly?
Textured lime and plaster finishes have been used for centuries and read as timeless. Bold colors date faster than texture does.
