Artisan Decorative Finishes for Luxury Homes & Commercial Spaces in Texas

Welcome to Chromatist, a boutique surface design studio offering artisan decorative finishes throughout Texas. From our base in Austin, we bring a curated, design-forward approach to interiors across the state — with a focus on Venetian plaster, limewash, microcement, and other bespoke finishes for luxury homes, offices, and commercial spaces.

Our team of skilled artisans is passionate about creating custom surfaces that define a room. Our services include:

  • Venetian Plaster: A timeless, polished plaster finish perfect for creating a sense of luxury and depth on statement walls, ceilings, and fireplaces.
  • Limewash Paint: A mineral-based, breathable finish with a soft, cloud-like texture that brings an organic, earthy feel to walls in both traditional and modern homes.
  • Microcement: A versatile, seamless, and waterproof application ideal for creating a minimalist, contemporary look on floors, walls, countertops, and especially bathrooms and showers.
  • Tadelakt: A traditional Moroccan lime plaster, hand-polished to a sensual, waterproof finish—perfect for creating spa-like retreats in high-end bathrooms and wet rooms.
  • Roman Clay: A beautifully earthy, mineral-based plaster that brings organic warmth and subtle texture to any interior. Perfect for Toronto homes seeking a unique, eco-friendly finish, this finish offers a matte, soft feel that complements both modern and traditional spaces.

We work closely with the leading interior designers, architects, and custom home builders in Dallas & Fort, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio to ensure every texture, tone, and transition complements your design vision.

Client Satisfaction Speaks Volumes

We engaged Chromatist to paint our 100 year old home in mid-town Toronto this spring. There were a number of issues that made this job a little unique. We had just gotten our knob-and-tube wiring replaced so there were a lot of holes that had been recently roughly plastered over.
Also, there was a large hole in the lathe-and-plaster ceiling of our dining room from a plumbing leak. Finally, our hallway was finished with faux
painting that simulated marble and brick with some trompe-l’oele of leaves in a vase that we wished to preserve rather than paint over.

Shayan and his team were a pleasure to work with and did a great job on this challenging project. Every day the painters were very considerate and minimized disruption such that we were able to continue to work from home during the whole process.

We especially appreciate the work on the faux painting in the hall, where Shayan had someone come in to analyze color matches and then hand painted and blended the colors so as to seamlessly hide the cracks and plaster that was there before. It looks better now than it did when we bought our house (a long time ago!).

Thanks Shayan and team. We are definitely interested in working with you again.

Tony, Homestars
