One of the most widely shared thoughts is that decorative plaster is expensive. This opinion has been formed because of the strong associations, as decorative plaster has been keeping its position in trends for wall decoration among designers, architects and homeowners. And all trending things are automatically recognized as an expensive decision.

But actually, not all decorative plasters are expensive. There are economic decisions among decorative products, TM Maxima-décor, which are less expensive than other options for decorative plasters. The cost of the coating can differ very much depending on the type of effect, application technique and also additional coats, like primer, wax or protective coating.
However, when we speak just about the cost for the products, the average price according to our calculation must be about 431 UAH for 1 sq. meter (as of 01.09.2025). This sum includes: base coating (quartz primer or Silk Touch 3), decorative plaster and wax (optionally).
Considering aesthetics, durability and the unique nature of the products, this price is completely fair. Therefore, the decorative plaster is not always expensive but rather a profitable investment for a long-lasting and stylish interior.
Decorative products TM Maxima-décor include thin-layered coatings: Duna TM Maxima-décor, Galaxy TM Maxima-décor, Ottocento TM Maxima-décor, Arabesk TM Maxima-décor and also thick-layered decorative plasters: Art Beton TM Maxima-décor, Marmorino TM Maxima-décor, Travertino TM Maxima-décor.
Even if we base on this classification, we can definitely say that thin-layered decorative coatings refer to a cheaper option for wall decoration. They are in high demand due to their aesthetic look and low consumption for 1 sq. meter, and you can apply them on your own without qualified assistance.
Today, customers very often call thin-layered decorative coating “decorative paint”, which is fully logical, as it creates a thin layer and can be tinted.
