Silk Plaster Versailles 1 sits at the top of the Silk Plaster luxury collection - the line designers reach for when a wall needs to feel handmade, theatrical, and quietly opulent. Built around a palette of twenty rich shades (101 through 110 and 151 through 160), Versailles 1 weaves fine gold and silver leaf accents through a silk-and-cellulose base, so the wall catches light the way a piece of couture catches a runway lamp.
What separates Versailles 1 from the main collection is the way light moves across it. The metallic flakes are evenly distributed through the mix, which means there is no single shiny patch - instead, the whole wall shimmers gently as you move through the room, with brighter highlights under direct light and a calmer, deeper read in shadow. In dining rooms, master bedrooms, hotel-style lobbies, and small powder rooms, this is the kind of finish that makes the rest of the interior look more considered around it.
Like every Silk Plaster product, Versailles 1 is applied as a continuous, seamless coating. You mix one pack with warm water, let it rest, and spread the material across the wall with a plastic trowel. There are no joints, no cut lines, no overlap edges that catch the light differently from the rest of the wall. The fibres and metallic flakes knit smoothly across corners and around sockets so the finished surface reads as a single, jewel-like piece.
Versailles 1 is also fully repairable. If a section is later knocked, scuffed, or marked, you simply soften the affected area with water, lift the damaged material, and re-apply leftover Versailles 1 from the same pack. The patch blends back into the shimmer invisibly. For homes where the luxury collection is on display in a high-use area - an entrance hallway, a dining room, a primary bathroom - this is a meaningful guarantee that the finish will look as it did on day one for years.
Application takes a little more attention than the lighter main-collection shades, simply because the metallic accents reward smoother, more even trowel strokes. A 1.85 kg pack covers approximately 7.2 m² depending on thickness, mixes with warm water, rests for around 12 hours, and goes onto the wall with the same plastic trowel - there is no specialist primer, no specialist tooling, and no specialist contractor required. The dried layer settles at around 1 mm thick - enough body to seat the gold and silver leaf accents evenly across the wall. For homeowners who are comfortable with main-collection application, Versailles 1 is well within DIY reach.
The Versailles 1 composition is built for indoor living. The coating is VOC A+ rated, contains no harsh solvents, and emits no lingering odour during or after application. It is breathable, lightly textured, and forgiving on imperfect substrates, masking small bumps and hairline cracks that flat paint or printed wallpaper would highlight.
Silk Plaster Versailles 1 ships pan-EU from our Riga warehouse with full technical data sheets and a luxury-collection application guide. We recommend pairing it with the SP Primer Silk Plaster on porous substrates for the most even shimmer, and an Expert Trowel for cleaner edges around architraves and ceilings. For a wall that genuinely turns a room into an occasion - and that you can repair invisibly years later - Silk Plaster Versailles 1 is one of the most distinctive finishes in the European decorative coatings market.
