Decorative & Specialty Finishes in Auckland
Polished plaster, lime wash, liquid metals and feature walls — applied by a Master Painters–accredited team trained in Porter's finishes.
The finishes most painters can't do. Anyone can roll a wall. Very few in Auckland can apply a Fresco polished-plaster finish, lay a real lime wash, or build a liquid-copper finish that moves with the light. We can — we're trained in Porter's specialty finishes (Guild accreditation underway) and we treat every feature wall like the centrepiece it is.
Decorative & Specialty Finishes
-
Fresco Polished Plaster
A Porter's polished-plaster finish with depth, movement and a soft sheen — the look of old-world Italian walls, built up coat by coat. Perfect for feature walls, entrances and statement rooms. Enquire about polished plaster →
-
Lime Wash
A soft, breathable, chalky finish with subtle cloudy texture. Beautiful on villas and heritage homes, and increasingly the look for modern interiors. Enquire about lime wash →
-
Liquid Copper & Metallics
Real metal suspended in the coating, developed into a living patina that shifts with the light. A true statement — nothing like a flat painted accent wall. Enquire about metallic finishes →
-
Iron Rust
Instant rust look
-
Stone Paint
One wall, done properly, that makes the whole room look expensive.
-
French Wash
Layered, cloudy colour that gives a wall warmth and movement without the texture of plaster. A softer feature option. Enquire about French wash →
-
Industrial Lustre & Duchess Satin
Refined, hard-wearing decorative sheens for high-end interiors that want a finish, not just a colour. Enquire about specialty sheens →
