Decora Italian Design

Paolo’s journey in Venetian plastering began 20 years ago in his hometown of Sardinia, Italy, where he honed his craft and developed a passion for this timeless technique. After relocating to New Zealand in 2013, he founded Decora Italian Design in 2017, bringing his extensive knowledge and skill to the local market.


Today, Paolo stands as the only Venetian plasterer in New Zealand with exclusive access to authentic Decora and San Marco Italian products. These premium, water-based, eco-friendly plasters are solvent-free, breathable, and flexible, offering natural resistance to bacteria thanks to their lime content – making them a healthier choice for your home or business.
