Apply it yourself or collaborate with a professional

Working with MINERALS is both a craft and an experience. Whether you apply it yourself or engage a professional, the result is shaped by care, intention and an understanding of texture. MINERALS is approachable for those with a steady hand and an eye for detail. Its natural composition invites expressive, layered finishes, but it also requires awareness of technique, preparation and environmental conditions. For those who enjoy working with materials, applying MINERALS can be a rewarding, tactile process.

For larger spaces or more complex surfaces, we recommend working with a professional painter — ideally someone experienced with mineral-based finishes. A skilled applicator understands how the material behaves, how layers build, and how to bring forward the depth and character that define MINERALS. Their expertise ensures consistency across different scales, lighting conditions and substrates. Whether you choose a hands-on approach or collaborate with a specialist, MINERALS will reward you with a nuanced, living surface — shaped by the tools, the hand and the architecture of the space.

Considering applying MINERALS yourself? Here are a few key points.

1. Preparing the surface. A refined finish begins with a precise base.

— Ensure the wall is clean, dry and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint
— Repair cracks or uneven areas — mineral paints do not conceal imperfections
— On previously painted interior walls, a primer layer helps create an ideal, receptive ground
— A well-prepared surface supports a calm, even mineral expression.

2. Choosing the right tools. Tools influence texture and flow.


  • Use a wide masonry brush or natural bristle brush; these hold mineral paint evenly and allow for fluid, layered strokes.

  • Mix the paint in a clean container, stirring thoroughly to ensure colour and particle consistency.

The right tools support the soft, atmospheric character that defines MINERALS.

3. Mastering the technique

MINERALS builds its depth through thin, patient layers.


  • Apply in long, even strokes, varying direction (vertical, horizontal, circular) to avoid visible patterning.

  • Work in thin coats and allow each layer to dry fully — typically 24–48 hours, depending on the environment.

  • Avoid overworking the surface; once applied, let the material settle naturally.

Subtle movement and tonal variation are part of the material’s inherent beauty.

4. Considering light and environment

Environmental conditions shape the outcome.


  • Apply between 10°C and 30°C, avoiding extremes of heat, cold or humidity.

  • Ensure steady ventilation to support an even cure and prevent moisture build-up.

  • Be mindful of how light moves through the space — MINERALS responds to it gently and continuously.

The right conditions help the material develop its quiet depth.

5. Taking your time

MINERALS is a slow, deliberate material — and that’s part of its character.


  • Plan for testing, preparation and generous drying time between coats.

  • Start small with samples if you are uncertain; understanding how the colour shifts as it dries can be invaluable.

Patience results in a surface that feels crafted, atmospheric and deeply connected to the space.
