Contemporary interior design is no longer just a matter of aesthetics. It is above all the skill of working with material – its texture, durability, response to light and reaction to the user environment. Today, architects and interior designers face the challenge of creating spaces that must be not only beautiful but also functional, easy to maintain and in line with the expectations of increasingly conscious investors. In this context, modern decorative materials play a key role: decorative mass, spray plaster, decorative plaster and structural paint. Their proper use can completely transform the perception of an interior – giving it depth, rhythm and individual character.
Trends in decorative materials in contemporary interior projects
Interior architecture is developing dynamically, and finishing materials are an inseparable part of this evolution. In recent years, the aesthetics of naturalness has gained importance – textures reminiscent of concrete, stone or raw wood have become the foundation of styles such as Japandi, soft loft or organic modern. Surfaces are no longer smooth and neutral – today designers increasingly use decorative materials that are not just a background but an integral element of the interior’s narrative.
In this sense, decorative plasters and paints are no longer just coatings. They become carriers of emotion, tools of architectural expression, and sometimes even the identity of a given space. They determine how light is perceived, emphasize wall structure and harmonize with finishing materials – from metal to velvet.
Decorative mass – a new approach to texture and effect
One of the most interesting solutions that has recently gained recognition among architects is decorative mass. It is a product valued not only for its high aesthetic qualities but above all for its remarkable plasticity. Thanks to the ability to freely model surfaces, decorative mass makes it possible to achieve effects inspired by concrete, fabric, or even organic patterns – depending on the tools and application technique used.
Designers appreciate it for its versatility – it works perfectly both in residential interiors and commercial spaces. Combined with the right light, it can create dynamic and changing surfaces – ones that look different in the morning, different under artificial light, and different again after dusk. Metallic and pearl versions work particularly well in premium projects, where every detail builds the interior’s narrative.
Decorative plaster – a universal choice for prestigious projects
It is no coincidence that decorative plasters have long been one of the most common choices among architects. Their greatest strength is diversity. Classic Venetian stucco allows for almost mirror-like surfaces, full of depth and nobility. Travertine introduces a rustic rhythm reminiscent of natural stone and southern European architecture. The effect of architectural concrete, in turn, has become an inseparable element of interiors with a raw, industrial character.
These plasters offer more than just appearance. They are materials with high resistance to damage, vapor-permeable and flexible. They work perfectly in high-traffic areas: halls, staircases, as well as service or hotel spaces. Importantly, modern formulas allow them to be applied not only on walls but also on ceilings, furniture or even interior doors, giving designers even greater freedom of creation.
Spray plaster – speed of application in commercial projects
In the world of commercial projects, where completion time is often as important as finishing quality, spray plaster finds its ideal application. It is a solution that allows for quick and even coverage of large surfaces while offering a wide range of visual effects.
Thanks to formulas based on acrylic resins and natural aggregates, spray plasters are resistant to mechanical damage, easy to clean and extremely durable. Their structure can hide minor substrate imperfections, which in practice means shorter surface preparation time and lower costs. From a designer’s perspective, their color neutrality and ability to “blend into” the context are also important – this is a material that does not impose style but discreetly supports it.
Decorative paints – special effects in the designer’s hands
Paints are no longer a transparent background – they have become a leading actor. This is especially true for decorative paints, which today offer much more than simple color coverage. Structural, metallic formulas with glitter or pearl effects make it possible to create complex light and spatial compositions.
Designers eagerly use them where a “wow” effect is expected – in hotel lobbies, boutiques, restaurants, but also in entrance zones of premium apartments. Modern paints are often equipped with microcapsule technologies that absorb odors, hydrophobic coatings or self-cleaning properties, which makes them not only visually attractive but also functional materials. For the architect, it is equally important how light reflects off the surface – a well-chosen paint can completely change the proportions and dynamics of a space.
Choosing materials for interior function – conscious design decisions
Decorative materials must be not only aesthetic but above all matched to the function of the space. Residential interiors allow more freedom – here the effect, emotions and individual character matter. In commercial spaces, durability, resistance to dirt, ease of maintenance and compliance with safety standards are priorities.
A café interior, dominated by warm textures and coziness, is designed differently than an office or showroom, where neutrality and prestige are important. The choice of decorative material should always be preceded by an analysis of traffic intensity, humidity and the type of light – natural and artificial. An architect who consciously works with these variables can achieve not only a visual effect but also increase the durability and comfort of using the interior.
Murrami and architects – partnership based on vision, quality and trust
At Murrami we perfectly understand that an architect’s work does not end with creating a beautiful concept. It is a complex process that requires trusted tools, flexibility and precision in every detail. That is why we have created a cooperation program that goes far beyond the standard model of distributing decorative products. We believe that an interior designer should not only be the recipient of the material – they should have a real influence on its form, color, texture and final effect.
We work with our partners as with a project team. We support them at every stage – from the first idea, through material tests, to application on site. Whether you are working on a private apartment, a commercial space or a large-scale investment, you can count on our knowledge, commitment and readiness to act in non-standard conditions.
Our products – spray plasters, structural paints and decorative masses – are the result of years of research, testing and collaboration with the best contractors. They combine durability, innovation and aesthetics, which makes them fit perfectly into both minimalist and eclectic interiors. We offer a wide range of ready-made solutions but are equally eager to create customized materials – tailored to a specific project, client or aesthetic.
Working with us, you gain access to samples, swatches and technical sheets that allow you to precisely present materials to investors. We know how important presentation tools are in a designer’s work – which is why we make sure to provide you with exactly what you need so that your concept is understood and appreciated already at the client discussion stage.
We also offer product training and application workshops, both in our facilities and on-site. Thanks to them, you have the opportunity to get to know our materials in practice – to check how they behave in light, how they work under your hand, how they respond to different application methods. This knowledge gives you confidence and freedom of design without compromises.
Our technical support does not end with delivering the material. We stay in touch with you also on the construction site, during meetings with the client, at the moment of making key decisions. We advise, help select technology, analyze technical conditions of the investment. We build relationships that are lasting – just like the surfaces we create together.
If you create spaces that matter – we invite you to cooperate. At Murrami we believe that the future of design depends on quality, courage and the ability to listen to one another. We want to be part of your path – a partner who not only understands your vision but also helps you bring it to life in the best possible way.
Let us design spaces together that remain in memory. Contact us and see how we can support your next project – from the first concept to the last plaster layer.
The most common design challenges – how we avoid them
We know that even the best material can fail if it is not properly chosen or applied incorrectly. That is why at Murrami we place great emphasis on the pre-production stage – technical consultations, substrate analysis and project expectations. It often happens that an investor expects a highly reflective effect, while the space does not have appropriate lighting – then together with the designer we choose an alternative that meets aesthetic goals but is realistic in the context of the specific project.
It also happens that materials are applied to substrates not prepared according to recommendations. In such situations, we are present on site, consult with contractors and introduce corrections if necessary. Thanks to our workshops and direct technical support, most potential mistakes are eliminated before they occur.
Communication between designer and contractor is also often a challenge – especially with non-standard solutions. That is why we offer the possibility of participating in working meetings and presenting the application technology so that every participant in the process understands their task. We care that the final result is faithful to the design – not only visually but also technologically and in terms of quality.
Thanks to this approach, cooperation with us does not end with delivering a bucket of plaster. It is a complete process, the goal of which is to create a space consistent with the designer’s idea – refined, coherent and resistant to the test of time.
