Marmorino
Classic Italian Stone & Stucco Finish by Colorado Artisans
Marmorino is a traditional Italian plaster made from slaked lime putty and dolomite marble dust with a slightly coarser aggregate than Grassello. This gives it a beautiful smooth stone or fine stucco appearance with subtle depth and movement.
It offers a versatile range of finishes — from soft matte to medium sheen — and creates the look and feel of polished natural stone. Marmorino is highly durable, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial, making it an excellent choice for both interior and exterior applications.
Perfect for accent walls, fireplaces, entire rooms, and outdoor surfaces, Marmorino delivers timeless elegance with excellent longevity.

I hired Iconic Wall Finishing for specialty finishes in three spaces for an out of town client new build project in Denver. Jake worked on one roman clay powder room, one custom plaster range hood, and one custom limewash bedroom. He was extremely knowledgable and we would have not been able to complete this project without his expertise. All three finishes turned out amazing and we would highly recommend Jake to anyone looking to add some speciality finishes to their home or project. Looking forward to working together again!
Great work and even better customer service! Recommended to anyone looking for work!
They turned our wall into a masterpiece! It was awesome watching Jake and his crew transform our wall. It was an ugly knockdown texture and they were able to get it smooth and give us a really cool venetian plaster accent wall. It completely made our living room a much more vibrant space.
I am so impressed with Iconic Wall Finishing! I have been trying for months to have someone finish my fireplace in Venetian Plaster. Jake was extremely responsive and professional. He responded to my initial estimate request within an hour and it was a Sunday night. Not only did he show up on the date promised, he arrived at the exact minute he said he’d be there! My fireplace looks absolutely gorgeous, exceeding my expectations. To top it off, I feel his pricing was not only fair but it was below what I expected to pay. I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation. Thanks again!!
