Where Artistry Begins
Authentic Italian Venetian plaster, machine-tinted to your colour and shipped tracked across the UK. Trusted by Britain’s finest applicators, architects and interior studios. Supplied, installed and taught by the same hands.
A wall is more than a boundary. It is the largest canvas a room has, and it sets the mood for everything in front of it. We put the materials, the tools and the training behind Britain's finest interiors into the hands of the architects, designers and installers who shape them.
The materials the trade comes back for, proven where it counts, on high end residential and commercial projects across the UK and Europe.
Each dot is a project we have installed. Turn the globe and click a dot to see where it is.
A finish is chosen the way a fine fabric is chosen, by how it looks and how it feels under the hand. These five are the ones our clients name first.

Every tub is machine-tinted to your exact colour before it leaves the studio, then checked by machine and by eye.
Colours developed in this studio and held on record, in any finish we make.
Give us any NCS reference and we tint to it, then check it by machine and by hand. It is the standard your specifier already works in.
A cushion, a tile, a flake of the old paint off the wall. If you can hold it, we can usually match it.
Not sure which finish suits the room? We'll post you three hand-trowelled A5 samples of any finishes in any tints, anywhere in the UK and worldwide. See the depth in your own home before you commit.

Hands-on tuition from working masters, 10am to 5pm. Every course is capped at six seats, so our tutors can focus on giving each student the very best of their craft. Dates fill quickly.
Three full days on the trowel. Substrate prep, base coats, and your first complete Venetian plaster walls in the classic finishes, from bucket to burnish.
Four days of advanced craft. Artificial rock, textured marmorino, vein work and acrylic polish plastering, with tinting, coloured waxes and colour blending.
A working master to yourself for three days. We’ll teach you anything you’d like, so the course is completely tailored to your needs.
Not every wall needs to be your first attempt. Our own team surveys, specifies and trowels across the UK.
View Our InstallationsSince 2021 we have sourced our lime putty from the Veneto and aged it properly, because a wall should outlive its owner. And for wet rooms, floors and hard-working commercial spaces, we carry modern finishes chosen with the same care.
Every batch is tested by our own applicators before it ships. If we wouldn't trowel it onto a client's wall, it doesn't leave the warehouse.
The work starts in Birmingham under another name. Inside the first year it reaches London, Manchester, Kent and Surrey.
Three new members join the studio, giving us the hands to take on larger homes without dropping the standard of the finish.
The Academy opens its doors, and a supply agreement is signed with our materials producer. Quality secured at the source.
The workshop makes its name in commercial decorative finishes across the UK, quietly supplying fellow applicators and testing every formula on live jobs to get the materials right.
Tested on the job, refined and trusted by the trade first, our own materials go on open sale to the public.
Five years of work, one supply line and one school, finally under a single name. Zavoré: the full range, the Academy and the Colour Library in one place, and the next wall always ahead.
Approved decorators, plasterers, contractors and designers buy with a Zavoré trade account. Ten percent off every material, taken off automatically the moment you are signed in to your trade account, machine-tinted consistency on every reorder, colour matching to any reference, and the members-only Rewards Room, where every pound counts towards titles and rewards. Academy students walk in the day they finish their course.
Delivery is charged on every order that ships, and collection from the studio is free. We ship nationally and worldwide, priced at checkout by the weight of your order and where it is going.
Five years of technique, published openly. We would rather you got it right first time than had to buy the material twice.
Nine times out of ten it isn't the material. Our head of studio on what the wall underneath is doing, how thirsty it is, and the patience problem.
