Our Finishes

Roman Clay

A smooth, suede-soft plaster finish, troweled in subtle layers for refined depth — perfect for feature walls, fireplaces, and entryways with a modern, tactile feel.

What is Roman clay?

Roman clay is a natural, lime-based plaster applied by hand with a trowel in thin, layered coats. The technique creates a smooth, velvety surface with soft tonal movement and a barely-there texture you can feel. Where limewash is matte and cloud-like, Roman clay is silky and sculptural — a more polished, contemporary take on the artisan plaster look.

Why homeowners love it

Where it works best

Statement feature walls, fireplace surrounds, entryways, powder rooms, range hoods, and built-in nooks. Roman clay shines anywhere you want a refined, tactile focal point that elevates the whole room.

The look, done right

Roman clay lives and dies by the application — it takes a skilled hand to build even, seamless layers with the right movement. That craft is exactly what we've specialized in. We help you choose a tone and depth that fits your space, then trowel each coat by hand for a flawless, gallery-worthy result.
