Why people choose it
What makes it stand apart.
01
Custom or library
From our pattern library, or cut bespoke from your reference — old textile, mosaic, manuscript.
02
Layered depth
Multi-layer stencilling — gold over rust, ivory over slate, deep colour over deeper colour.
03
Repair-able
If a section is damaged in the future, we can return and re-stencil — the pattern is on record.

From the work
What our clients say.
Three notes stay in view at once: the lead story, the neighbouring context, and the next surface waiting in the queue.
"We had three other contractors quote our penthouse refit. DecoPaint were the only ones who turned up with sample tiles before we'd even signed. The microcement bathrooms came out exactly as we'd hoped."
Mariam K.
Homeowner · Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Microcement · 110 m²
"Our restaurant interiors needed a concrete-texture finish that could handle daily kitchen heat and steam. Three years in, the walls look better than they did on day one. Quiet, professional crew."
Hisham R.
Restaurant owner · DIFC, Dubai
Concrete texture · 240 m²
"We brief contractors a lot in our practice. DecoPaint is one of the few we've kept on our preferred list. Tight communication, honest about timeline, and the marmorino finish on our last villa was textbook."
Priya S.
Senior interior designer · Studio in Al Wasl
Marmorino · 8 rooms
"Took the day off to be on site, didn't need to. They sent photos every morning, asked the right questions, finished early. The terrazzo lobby is genuinely the best surface in the building."
Omar A.
Building owner · Abu Dhabi
Terrazzo · 380 m²
"The pearl finish in our master suite is exactly what I'd been trying to describe to other contractors for two years. They got it the first time."
