Silk: Silky Metallic Wall Finish with Soft Shimmer and Elegant Texture
Silk is a smooth metallic wall finish designed to evoke the soft glow and flowing texture of fine fabric. Made with lime, natural minerals, and light-reflective pigments, it produces a gentle shimmer that adds elegance and movement to interior walls.
Ideal for refined spaces such as bedrooms, lounges, boutiques, and reception areas, Silk offers a delicate surface that feels luxurious without being overstated. Its fluid texture catches light softly, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere.
This lime-based decorative coating is breathable, tintable, and easy to apply with a trowel or spatula. Whether used in subtle neutrals or rich, pearlescent tones, Silk provides a timeless finish that enhances interiors with grace and sophistication.
Silk by Decora creates a soft, pearlescent surface with gentle movement and a lightly iridescent sheen. It mimics the smooth, fluid quality of silk fabric while delivering a refined metallic effect suitable for luxury interiors.
Yes. Silk works beautifully in modern minimalist spaces as well as more traditional or decorative settings. Its understated shimmer and refined texture make it a versatile choice across design styles.
For best results, Decora recommends applying Silk over a smooth, primed surface. A mineral-compatible primer like Decora Fondo ensures proper adhesion and even absorption of the finish.
Silk is available in a curated palette of soft metallic tones, including silver, champagne, bronze, and warm neutrals. It can also be custom-tinted using Decora’s mineral pigment system to match specific interior colour schemes.
Silk is more durable than ordinary decorative paints thanks to its mineral formulation. It resists surface dulling and light wear, especially when sealed with a transparent topcoat like Acryshield, making it ideal for low- to medium-traffic areas.
Silk is a refined metallic decorative finish that mimics the delicate sheen and movement of woven fabric. Designed to bring elegance and texture to interiors, Silk offers a smooth, layered appearance with a soft shimmer that responds beautifully to light.
This guide outlines the process for applying Silk as a wall treatment that blends metallic pigments with artisanal application. Ideal for boutique interiors, feature walls, and design-focused spaces, Silk delivers a timeless, tactile aesthetic with a luxurious touch.
Silk is supplied in 2.5L and 5L containers, ready for use and available in a range of muted metallic tones. It is a pre-mixed decorative coating with fine light-reflective pigments that give the surface a smooth, fabric-like movement.

For best results, apply Silk on a smooth, dry, and evenly primed surface. Inconsistent priming or absorption can affect how the metallic pigments layer and reflect. All dust, grease, or existing glossy coatings should be removed or corrected prior to application.
Recommended Surface Preparation
| SURFACE TYPE | PREPARATION METHOD |
|---|---|
| Lime or Cement Plaster | 1 coat of Decora Fondo, then apply Silk |
| Painted or Glossy Surfaces | Sand, apply One Primer, then use Decora Fondo |
| Slightly Uneven Substrates | Level with Intocalce Fine, let dry, then prime |
| High-Use or Damp Areas | Finish with Mineral Sealer after application |
Apply Silk with a decorative brush in multidirectional or fabric-like strokes to create a woven texture. Use a soft spatula or sponge to blend edges or refine the shimmer during drying. The pressure and movement of the tool will influence how light plays across the surface.
Silk is a naturally low-maintenance finish that can be cleaned gently with a dry microfiber cloth. For extra protection in bathrooms, hallways, or commercial interiors, apply Mineral Sealer to preserve its subtle shimmer and prevent wear.
