Where Artistry Begins
Venetian plaster, marmorino, travertino, tadelakt, microcement, limewash, clay plaster, concrete effect, liquid metal and artificial rock, alongside bas relief and sculptural plaster, modelled by hand or CNC cut, CNC moulds and mouldings, hand painted murals, mosaics, cornice and coving, gilding and lacquered walls. Every project is surveyed, specified and installed by our own team from our Birmingham base and right across the UK, from private residences to flagship commercial spaces.
Paint gives a wall a colour. Craft gives it depth. Polished plaster, a sculpted relief, a hand painted mural, gold leaf or mosaic, each one made by hand for one room.
That depth is the first thing people notice when they walk into the room. And unlike paint, it is made to last and to age well. You choose it once, and it is done.
Start Your Project
A ballroom is judged in a glance from the doorway. Polished plaster was carried across the principal walls so the room reads as one continuous, seamless surface. Formal, warm, and built to shrug off the traffic of a thousand guest evening.
Feature walls in a working restaurant have to survive heat, steam and shoulder height wear without losing their finish. A mineral plaster specification gave Naya depth in the evenings and a surface that wipes clean and keeps its polish.
Colour led this one. The finish was tinted against the interior palette and proved on samples before a trowel touched the wall, so the plaster sits exactly where the designer wanted it. Rich, warm and unmistakably intentional.
A showroom built for cars asked to become a space for people. Large format walls were resurfaced in continuous decorative finishes, the fastest way to take a commercial shell from corporate to considered without rebuilding a single wall.
“The wall is the largest surface in the room. Dress it like it matters.”
The Zavoré StudioTell us what the space is and where, and we will come back with an honest recommendation and a clear price.
It starts with a visit, not a brochure. We bring real samples to your home and you see them against your own walls before you decide. From there our installers carry the whole project, from the survey to the final finish, whether it is one feature wall or every room in the house.
A commercial space is judged the moment someone walks in. We install for restaurants, hotels, offices and retail, with finishes chosen to stand up to thousands of guests a year, and we plan the work around your programme so the doors stay open.

Our applicators are the same masters who run the Training Academy, so the people who fit your walls are the people who teach the craft.
Every wall is checked against the sample or drawing you approved before we call it finished.
We visit or review your space, walls and light, and tell you honestly what will work and what will not.
Finish, colour and design agreed before we start, against real samples for plaster and a scaled drawing for murals, relief and mosaics.
Our team installs, polishes, gilds or paints and seals, and you get the aftercare guidance to keep it perfect.
Each dot is a project we have installed. Turn the globe and click a dot to see where it is.
Every wall is priced on its own merits. Size, substrate, finish and colour. We survey first, then give you one clear price with no surprises in it.
Yes. Plaster is tinted to your exact colour, and paint, lacquer and mural colours are matched on samples before we start.
Most plaster feature walls run two to four days including curing between coats. Murals, relief, mosaics, gilding, whole rooms and commercial spaces are scheduled at survey.
Tadelakt and microcement for seamless walls, floors, showers and bathrooms. Limewash, clay plaster, concrete effect, liquid metal and artificial rock. Bas relief and sculptural plaster, modelled by hand or CNC cut, CNC moulds and mouldings, hand painted murals and chinoiserie, mosaics, cornice, coving and ceiling roses, gilding and gold leaf, and high gloss lacquered walls. Many projects combine several, and we survey and price them together.
We commission across the UK. Residential and commercial, from single feature walls to full hospitality fit outs.
Always. We work from real samples for plaster and scaled drawings for murals, relief and mosaics, and you approve them before we start.
Yes. Our own applicators travel from Birmingham to install across the UK. On jobs further away the work is planned in blocks of days, so the team stays on site and lays each coat in order. Find your town on every area we cover.
We check what the walls are made of, how flat and sound they are, any damp or movement, and how the room is used, then plan access and protection. You get an honest recommendation, a sample proposal and one clear price.
Yes, with the right preparation. Plasterboard needs its joints reinforced and the correct primer. Old solid walls suit breathable lime finishes such as Marmorino or limewash. If a wall needs skimming or a damp problem fixing first, we tell you.
For showers and wet rooms we recommend tadelakt or microcement on a properly prepared, waterproofed wall. Venetian plaster is not one we put inside a shower.
Yes. We supply samples and finish details for specifications and plan the work around other trades. Designers and architects can start on the Specify Zavoré page.
Yes. Commercial work is planned around your programme so the doors stay open, with finishes chosen to stand up to heavy daily use.
Sample boards, the sample box and the Colour Booklet, the gentlest way to begin a wall worth keeping.
