ToggleDecorative plaster offers a unique blend of durability, artistic flair, and refinement. Whether you’re working on a minimalist home in Boulder or a more classic interior in Lakewood, plaster can help shape the mood and texture of your space.
From sleek and smooth to rustic and aged, decorative plaster finishes adapt to any style. You can choose from polished Venetian textures to distressed shabby chic — each completely unique.
No two plaster finishes are alike. Custom application and hand-troweled textures create one-of-a-kind surfaces that become focal points in any room.
Plaster works beautifully in both residential and commercial settings, whether you’re updating a cozy bedroom in Highlands Ranch or refreshing a luxury office in downtown Denver.
Each finish has its own personality and ideal use case. Here are the most popular types we install across homes and businesses in Colorado:
A timeless favorite, Venetian plaster delivers a smooth, marble-like effect. Made from fine minerals and lime, it creates a deep, reflective surface ideal for elegant spaces.

⚠️ Tip: Best applied by skilled professionals for a flawless finish
Perfect for feature walls or ceilings, textured plasters allow for creative patterns like stone, linen, or abstract relief.
