A calm, high-end marble effect that instantly upgrades a room, without the cost of Italian plaster.

The Smoky Marble Texture is a bespoke, hand-built plaster finish designed to create depth, softness, and a refined “stone-like” atmosphere on one statement wall.
It’s not paint, and it’s not a DIY stencil job. This finish is built in layers, shaped by hand, then toned and sealed for a smooth, premium look that feels architectural.

If your room feels “almost finished” but still flat, this is the upgrade that makes it look intentional.

What you get

With the Smoky Marble Feature Wall, you’re not buying “a paint effect”. You’re getting a hand-built plaster finish with real depth, designed around your room’s light and layout.

• A bespoke textured plaster surface with soft marble movement (no repeating pattern)

• Colour tones mixed and layered to suit your interior (warm greys, stone beige, taupe, muted blue-greys)

• Optional subtle accents (for example a botanical imprint) agreed during the consultation

• A sealed top coat once cured, suitable for normal domestic wear and gentle wipe-clean maintenance

Why homeowners choose it

This finish works because it changes the atmosphere of a room without making it busy. The texture catches light in a calm, architectural way, so the space feels more considered. It also creates a focal point that lifts everything around it, furniture, lighting, even simple décor, and it stays timeless rather than looking like a trend you’ll regret next year.

Best rooms for this finish

It suits most interior spaces, but it’s especially strong in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, stairwells, home offices, feature alcoves and dining areas. If you’re unsure, we’ll advise based on the wall position and natural light.

The process

We keep it straightforward and tidy, but we don’t rush the drying time.

• On-site consultation (45–60 minutes, we reserve 1 hour): surface check, measurements, tone and finish planning

• Preparation: the right prep for your specific wall type so the finish holds long-term

• Texture build: plaster layers shaped by hand to create the marble movement

• Colour & depth: tonal shading to achieve the smoky stone effect

• Sealing: protective top coat for everyday use once the finish is fully cured
