Silk Plaster Nord is the collection homeowners reach for when they want a wall to feel still - the soft, daylight-washed calm of a Scandinavian living room or a quiet northern apartment. Built around two cool, considered shades (921 and 922), Nord gives an interior the kind of restful backdrop that lets light, plants, and natural materials do the talking.
Like the rest of the Silk Plaster main collection, Nord is a fibre-based decorative coating made of cellulose, silk components, a water-activated adhesive, and finely sorted decorative particles. You mix one pack with warm water, let it rest for around 12 hours, and apply it to the wall with a plastic trowel. As it dries it forms a continuous, seamless surface - no joints, no cut lines, no edges that can peel away later. The fibres knit over corners and around fixtures so even an inexperienced applicator can finish a room without obvious mistakes.
Nord is also among the most forgiving collections to live with. The coating is fully repairable: if a section is knocked, scuffed, or marked by moisture, you simply soften the damaged area with water, lift the affected fibres, and re-apply leftover material from the original pack. The patch blends in invisibly. Used in a hallway, a child’s bedroom, or any high-traffic space, this is the kind of small detail that quietly justifies the upgrade away from paint or paper.
From a practical standpoint Nord is straightforward DIY work. A 1.23 kg pack covers approximately 4.75 m² depending on thickness. The dried layer sits at around 1.0 mm thick - balanced enough to read as a soft envelope rather than a heavy plaster coating. There is no wallpaper paste to mix, no rolls to cut, no pattern to align. Most homeowners finish a feature wall in a single afternoon and the surface is touch-dry within 24 to 48 hours. Cleanup is soap and water, with no solvents involved.
The composition is built for indoor living. Silk Plaster Nord is VOC A+ rated, contains no harsh solvents, and emits no lingering odour - which is why it sees regular use in nurseries, bedrooms, and rooms that you cannot empty for days at a time. The coating is breathable, lightly textured, and forgiving on imperfect substrates, masking small bumps and hairline cracks that flat paint would normally highlight.
Designers tend to use Nord across an entire room rather than on a single accent wall. The cool palette pairs naturally with pale woods, brushed metal, linen upholstery, and unbleached cotton. For a slightly warmer envelope, Nord can also be combined with Standard or Optima for a tonal palette that still reads as calm and unbusy.
Silk Plaster Nord ships pan-EU from our Riga warehouse with full technical data sheets and clear application guides. Pair it with the SP Primer Silk Plaster on porous substrates to even out absorbency, and an Expert Trowel for cleaner edges around windows and architraves. If you want a wall finish that feels quietly modern, easy on the eye, and built to last, Silk Plaster Nord is one of the best-value choices in the main collection.
