Decorative plaster or paint: what to choose for your interior in Cyprus

Decorative plaster or regular paint is a common question when renovating in Cyprus. Let's explore the differences and what to choose for your interior.

What decorative plaster can do

We use decorative plasters and paints from Italian manufacturers when finishing apartments, houses, offices, and shops.

• Imitates wood, metal, concrete, marble, travertine, artificial stone
• Popular effects: travertine, silk, marble, stone, concrete
• Can be applied even to complex geometric surfaces
• Eco-friendly - suitable for all rooms
• Some compositions reflect daylight and artificial light, creating a special effect.

Comparison with regular paint

• Durability: decorative coatings are much stronger and do not wear out in high traffic areas
• Care: easy to care for
• Appearance: visually significantly increases the value of the interior
• Price: Regular paint is cheaper and quicker to apply—more on that on the wall painting page.

Where to apply

Most often, it's used on an accent wall: a TV area, the central wall of a living room, or a fireplace. But decorating the entire room, including ceilings, is becoming increasingly popular.

What does the cost depend on?

Each type of decorative plaster has its own technology, a different number of layers, and labor intensity, so the price depends heavily on the material chosen.
