San Marco Paints & Plasters Take Center Stage at High Point Market Fall 2026!

See San Marco decorative finishes in person at the Moe’s Home Collection showroom during Fall High Point Market, October 17–21, 2026.

If you've ever run your hand across a well-burnished Venetian plaster wall, you know photographs don't do it justice. The depth, the soft shine, the way the color shifts as the light moves across the room: it has to be seen in person.

That's why we're excited to share that San Marco paints and plasters will be on display inside the Moe's Home Collection showroom at High Point Market this fall. If you're going to be at the show, we'd love for you to stop in.

High Point Market 2026: dates and showroom location

High Point Market is one of the largest home furnishings events in the world, and it's primarily a trade event, so designers, retailers and other industry professionals make up most of the crowd. If you're registered and walking the IHFC, look for the Moe's Home Collection showroom on the third floor of the Commerce building.

Why San Marco finishes belong in a furniture showroom

Moe's Home Collection is known for design-forward furniture and decor, and good design doesn't stop at the furniture. Walls are the biggest surface in any room. A hand-troweled finish behind a sofa or a dining table changes how everything in front of it looks, and showing the two together lets you judge that for yourself.

San Marco is a natural fit for that conversation. Colorificio San Marco was founded in 1962 and draws on the Venetian tradition of art and craft. Today the company works in more than 80 countries, and its range runs from classic Venetian plaster to finishes that echo concrete and oxidized metal. Many of its products, like Marmorino Classico, are lime-based, which is part of what gives them that mineral, luminous look.

What to look for when you see the finishes in person

• Depth and sheen. Venetian plaster is built in thin layers, then burnished. Tilt your head and watch how the surface catches the light.
• Texture you can't see online. A matte marmorino and a polished stucco can look similar on a screen. Up close they feel completely different.
• How color behaves next to real materials. Look at the finishes beside wood, fabric and metal, the way they'd live in a home.
• The scale of a full wall. A small sample board tells you the color. A wall tells you the mood.
