Surfaces Chosen for the Space

Beyond Tile and Paint

Kitchen surfaces do not have to be limited to traditional tile, stone or standard paint. Hand-applied decorative finishes can create seamless, organic or dramatic surfaces that integrate with cabinetry, countertops, lighting and the architecture of the room.

At All Time Paint & Plaster, we use multiple finish systems — including microcement, lime plaster and metallic plaster — so the material can be selected around the desired appearance and application rather than forcing every kitchen into one product.

Samples & Finish Selection

Decorative Plaster Samples and Selection

Choosing a decorative plaster finish from a screen or a small color chip rarely shows the whole story. Visit our Wayne office to compare real hand-finished sample boards and see how the texture, sheen and movement of each finish respond to natural and artificial light.

Our sample collection covers Venetian and lime plaster, Roman clay, microcement and textured stone-look finishes in soft whites, warm neutrals, terracotta, greys and charcoals. We’ll help you narrow down the finish, texture level and tone that best suits your kitchen, lighting and the cabinetry and stone you are coordinating with.

Three Finish Systems

Choose the Finish That Fits the Design

We do not sell one material for every kitchen. The finish is selected around the application, the design, the substrate, the texture you want and how the surface will be used.

Microcement

Seamless • Contemporary • Stone-Like

Microcement creates a refined continuous surface with a modern stone or cement character. It works especially well when the design calls for minimal joints, subtle movement and a more architectural appearance.

Common kitchen applications

— Range hoods
— Backsplashes
— Feature walls
— Vertical island surfaces
— Architectural details

Best for: Modern, minimalist and stone-inspired kitchens.

Lime Plaster

Organic • Mineral • Hand-Applied

Lime plaster creates natural movement, soft tonal variation and a hand-finished appearance that works especially well in warm, organic and European-inspired kitchens.

Common kitchen applications

— Range hoods
— Feature walls
— Selected backsplash applications
— Arches
— Architectural details

Best for: Warm, organic, old-world and natural stone-inspired interiors.

Explore Decorative Plaster

Metallic Plaster

Reflective • Dramatic • Custom

Metallic plaster creates a completely different visual experience from traditional paint or mineral plaster. Depending on the product and technique, the surface can range from softly reflective to dramatic and highly dimensional.

Common kitchen applications

— Statement range hoods
— Feature walls
— Bar areas
— Backsplashes where appropriate
— Niches
— Architectural panels

Best for: Statement kitchens, luxury interiors and spaces where the finish is intended to become a focal point.

Not every lime or metallic plaster is suited to every high-heat or splash-prone location. We confirm the system for each surface before recommending it.

Kitchen Focal Points

Custom Plaster & Microcement Range Hoods

A decorative range hood can visually connect cabinetry, stone and surrounding architecture while giving the kitchen a custom built-in appearance. We create finishes ranging from soft lime-plaster movement to stone-inspired microcement and dramatic metallic effects.
