When you’re building or renovating, the materials you choose shape not only the look of your space but the way it feels to live in. Novacolor brings Italy’s most refined architectural coatings to New Zealand – crafted with innovation, sustainability and a deep respect for timeless craftsmanship.
From smooth, contemporary Venetian plasters to highly textured, mineral-rich finishes, Novacolor opens up a world beyond paint. Here’s how to bring these surfaces confidently into your home.
Start by exploring the finishes in person
Every Novacolor finish has its own character – subtle movement, mineral texture, sheen levels, and natural variation that simply can’t be understood on a screen.
Visit Residium (Parnell, Auckland) to explore our curated collection of Novacolor samples, textures and colourways. You can touch, feel and compare finishes side-by-side.
Not in Auckland?
You can purchase samples directly through our website and have them shipped to your door. They’re ideal for testing tones at home, seeing how the finish behaves in your light, and sharing with your designer or builder.
2. Share Your Project Plans or m² for a Clear Direction
To help you choose the right finish — and understand what’s possible within your space — we recommend sending us:
-
Your floor plans or elevations, or
-
The square metre area of the walls or surfaces you’d like finished.
This allows us to guide you on the most suitable products, expected product volumes, and any technical considerations (wet areas, exteriors, high-traffic zones, etc.).
3. Connect With a Novacolor Certified Applicator
Novacolor finishes are artisan-applied. Craftsmanship is key, which is why we have a nationwide network of Novacolor Certified Applicators trained to deliver authentic, high-quality results.
We’ll match you with an applicator in your region who can:
-
Visit your site
-
Provide a detailed quote
-
Explain the process, timing and substrate preparation
-
Produce a bespoke sample for approval
4. Approve Your Finish With a Custom Sample
Before any work begins, your applicator will create a project-specific sample – using your chosen colour, texture and sheen level. This is an important step, ensuring you have complete confidence in the final look.
It also allows for refinements before the first trowel touches your wall.
5. Watch Your Design Vision Come to Life
Once the sample is approved, your applicator will begin transforming your space.
You’ll experience the beauty of Novacolor’s handcrafted surfaces firsthand — the subtle depth, natural movement and timeless materiality that traditional paint simply can’t offer.
