Tadelakt is a traditional, lime-based plaster known for its rich, natural texture and distinctive, mottled appearance. Originally used in Moroccan architecture, it has become a popular choice for contemporary interiors seeking a seamless, organic feel with a luxurious edge.
Naturally waterproof and breathable, Tadelakt is ideal for bathrooms, wet rooms, spa areas, and even kitchen splashbacks. Its surface is finished using a specialised polishing technique with a stone, followed by the application of natural soap, which reacts with the lime to create a water-resistant barrier.
One of Tadelakt’s most appealing features is its visual depth and soft, satin sheen—offering a finish reminiscent of polished stone, but with a more tactile, handcrafted character. It can be tinted to almost any colour, allowing for rich, earthy tones or bold modern palettes without the need for paint.
At SÒ Interiors, we apply Tadelakt by hand using traditional methods, resulting in a bespoke surface that is as practical as it is beautiful. Each finish is unique, with subtle variations in tone and movement that give your space a sense of warmth, depth, and individuality.
Whether you're designing a feature shower wall, a minimalist basin surround, or a complete wet room, Tadelakt offers a timeless and sustainable alternative to tiles or synthetic surfaces.
