Decora Introduces AllOver: The Ultimate Decorative Coating for a Seamless Modern Interior Makeover

Step into the most coveted interiors of 2025 and one detail quietly defines them all: seamlessness. Walls flow into floors, kitchen backsplashes melt into countertops, and bathrooms feel carved from a single continuous surface—no grout lines, no visual breaks, no clutter.

This is the rise of microcement as a design language, and at the center of it is Decora AllOver—a complete, ultra-thin microcement system redefining how modern homes are finished.

From Japandi-inspired living rooms to spa-like bathrooms and sculptural staircases, Decora AllOver offers something rare: architectural minimalism with warmth, delivered through a system that works for both homeowners planning a renovation and professionals executing premium projects.

According to experts at The Decora Company, microcement is no longer a niche material—it’s becoming the new standard for modern interiors where durability, design, and sustainability intersect.

This guide shows you how to apply Decora AllOver properly, what mistakes to avoid, how it compares to alternatives, and why it’s becoming a defining surface of 2025–2026 interiors.

What Is Decora AllOver?

Decora AllOver is a complete microcement system engineered for seamless modern interiors. Unlike single-layer decorative coatings, AllOver is a multi-step system designed to work together—ensuring adhesion, strength, waterproofing, and long-term durability.

What makes AllOver different:

• Ultra-thin application: approx. 3mm total thickness

• Seamless finish: walls, floors, counters, showers, stairs

• Waterproof when sealed: suitable for wet areas

• 100+ color options: from warm neutrals to architectural greys

• Two formats:

  • AllOver Living Kit (DIY-friendly, ~100–125 sq ft)

  • AllOver Professional Coating (large-scale projects)

This dual-system approach is why AllOver appeals to a mixed audience—homeowners can confidently tackle feature areas, while professionals can scale it across full homes and commercial interiors.

ALLOVER is a ready-to-use, single-component coating system designed for indoor use. It is highly suitable for revamping your living room, bathroom, or designing a wellness space. Allover decorative coating delivers beautiful, seamless finishes on walls, floors, ceilings and even wet areas like showers. It’s the perfect alternative to traditional micro-cement systems like Continuo but it is easier and faster to apply, making it a go-to choice for homeowners, designers, and contractors who want beauty, durability, and convenience all in one.

Full Decora AllOver Application System (Step-by-Step)

This is the complete system breakdown—critical for both homeowners and professionals.

Surface Preparation (20% of Success)

• Substrate must be clean, stable, and crack-free

• Repair loose tiles, joints, or damaged drywall

• Sand glossy surfaces

• Dust-free finish is essential

Most failures come from rushing prep—not from the product.

Primer (Adhesion Layer)

• Use the specified AllOver primer

• Ensures bonding and prevents absorption issues

• Allow proper drying time (usually 6–12 hours)

Base Coat (Structural Layer)

• Applied with a stainless steel trowel

• Provides strength and uniformity

• Thin, controlled application

Two Finish Coats (Design Layer)

• Wet-on-wet technique controls texture

• Movement created through trowel direction and pressure

• Color depth built gradually—not all at once

Sealer / Protego (Waterproofing)

• Mandatory for bathrooms, kitchens, floors

• Apply two coats

• Locks color and protects surface

Maintenance

• Mild soap + water

• No harsh chemicals

• Expected lifespan: 15+ years when applied correctly
