Frequently Asked Questions ## Decorative & Texture Finish Questions How much does Venetian plaster cost in Dubai? + Venetian plaster (Stucco Veneziano) in Dubai typically costs AED 120–200/sqm for full supply and application, depending on the number of layers, finish intensity, and material grade selected. A standard master bedroom feature wall (approximately 18–25sqm) starts from AED 2,500–4,000. A full room treatment (all four walls, approximately 60–80sqm) typically starts from AED 7,000–12,000. These prices include prep, material, application, and final wax sealing. What is the difference between Venetian plaster and microcement? + Venetian plaster (Stucco Veneziano) is made from slaked lime and marble dust — it creates a polished, reflective surface with depth and sheen, in warm natural stone-like tones. It is traditionally used on walls only and has a burnished, high-end finish. Microcement is a polymer-modified cementitious coating — matte, smooth, and mineral in character. It is seamless and can be applied to walls, floors, ceilings, and even bathroom surfaces. It is more versatile but less decoratively expressive than Venetian plaster. The right choice depends on the aesthetic you are after. How long does Venetian plaster take to apply? + Venetian plaster requires 3–5 layers, each of which must be fully dried before the next is applied. The final burnishing stage alone takes as long as all previous layers combined. A feature wall (single wall) typically takes 2–3 days. A full room (all four walls) takes 4–7 days. There are no shortcuts — trying to rush the drying time between coats compromises the final result irreversibly. We build realistic timelines into every quote. Can decorative finishes be applied in a bathroom? + Yes — certain finishes are suitable for bathrooms. Microcement is the most popular bathroom choice — when properly sealed with a penetrating polyurethane topcoat, it is waterproof and can be applied over tiles, walls, and floors in wet areas. Venetian plaster is not recommended in wet areas (shower zones) but can be used in bathrooms where walls are not directly water-exposed. Limewash is also suitable in bathrooms as it is breathable and vapour-permeable. We advise on the right finish for each area during the consultation. Can Arabic geometric stencilling be done over existing paint? + Yes — Arabic geometric stencilling is applied over the base coat of your chosen wall colour. The wall must be flat, clean, and painted before stencilling begins. We typically repaint the wall in the chosen base colour first (deep plum, midnight blue, or another rich background tone), let it cure fully, then apply the geometric pattern with metallic or contrasting pigment over it. The base coat and stencilling are usually quoted and executed together as a complete feature wall package. How do I clean and maintain Venetian plaster, microcement or limewash? + Each finish has simple, specific care. Sealed Venetian plaster wipes clean with a soft damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner — no abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. Microcement is sealed with a polyurethane topcoat and cleans like any sealed surface; in wet areas the seal is periodically refreshed. Limewash is breathable and best dusted or lightly wiped, with touch-ups blended in rather than scrubbed. We hand over written care guidance for the exact finish applied in your home. Will the finish scratch, stain or fade in a busy home? + When the right finish is specified for the room and sealed correctly, decorative finishes hold up well in busy Dubai homes. We match durability to use — a harder-wearing sealed system for hallways, stairwells and family rooms, and a softer decorative system for low-traffic feature walls and majlis areas. Strong, direct sunlight can shift very deep pigments over years, so for sun-facing walls we recommend UV-stable colourways during the consultation. Can you create a sample before I approve the full wall? + Yes — and we strongly recommend it. We prepare sample panels and test patches in your chosen finish and colour, applied in your home so you can judge them in your actual light, morning and evening. Full application only begins once you have signed off the approved sample. It is the single best way to make sure the finished wall is exactly what you expected. ![Decorative finishes service-area map covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah](https://cityrenovations.ae/img/p5e7vP-50N-320.jpeg) Service Coverage ## Decorative & Texture Finishes Across the UAE We apply microcement, stucco, Venetian plaster and feature-wall finishes across Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Emirates Hills, Arabian Ranches and the wider UAE.
