The modern home is defined by fluidity, where the boundaries between interior comfort and natural surroundings blur. Designers and homeowners are increasingly embracing strategies to create seamless transitions that extend living areas into gardens, patios, and balconies.
At Viero UK, we understand this vision. Our carefully curated range of finishes, particularly our earthy microcement and lime wash paints, provides the ideal materials to achieve this cohesive, uninterrupted flow, uniting your home with the environment outside.
The Foundation of Fluidity
Microcement is an incredibly versatile, polymer-modified cement-based coating that is rapidly becoming the material of choice for creating continuity in both residential and commercial spaces. Applied in thin layers, it bonds strongly to almost any substrate, making it perfect for renovation projects.
Uninterrupted Surfaces, Inside and Out
One of the standout qualities of Viero UK's microcement is its seamless, jointless finish. Unlike traditional tiling or large-format paving, microcement eliminates grout lines and joins, resulting in vast, uninterrupted surfaces that feel fluid and expansive. Whether applied across a living room floor and extended onto a patio or terrace, or used to wrap walls, ceilings, and bespoke joinery, it creates a cohesive aesthetic where boundaries disappear and materials flow effortlessly from one space to the next.
Designers are increasingly specifying it for feature walls, bathroom wet zones, staircases, kitchen splashbacks, ceilings, and even bespoke built-in furniture. The result is a unified material palette that feels modern, tactile, and architectural.
Available in a sophisticated range of earthy tones inspired by nature including soft clay, weathered stone, and slate grey, Viero’s microcement complements both minimalist and organic design schemes. For exterior applications, its performance is just as impressive. Once sealed with our high-performance protective coatings, it becomes highly waterproof, UV resistant, and robust enough to withstand foot traffic and variable weather conditions. This makes it an ideal solution for achieving visual continuity across interior and exterior zones, even in the demanding UK climate.
Softening Walls with Natural Texture
To complement the architectural feel of microcement, Viero’s lime-based paints offer a beautifully soft contrast, ideal for vertical surfaces. Whether paired with microcement or used as a standalone finish, our lime wash paints introduce a natural, tactile elegance that enhances both interior and exterior spaces.
Lime wash is a traditional mineral-based paint, different from modern emulsions in both appearance and performance. It adds depth through tonal variation and movement, creating a soft, matt surface that seems to breathe with the building. Used on its own, it’s perfect for creating calm, nature-inspired interiors. When combined with microcement floors or ceilings, it introduces a gentle shift in texture that maintains visual continuity while adding nuanced contrast.
This harmonious pairing not only unifies material language throughout a home but also aligns with a more natural, breathable, and sustainable approach to design.
Tips for Seamless Design
Creating a successful indoor-outdoor flow requires thoughtful planning beyond just material selection:
- Colour Palette Consistency: Select a core palette of two or three earthy tones (e.g., a warm grey microcement floor, a subtle taupe lime wash wall) and use these consistently across both spaces.
- Threshold Management: Minimise the height difference at the doorway or threshold. Ideally, the indoor microcement floor should be flush with the outdoor surface for a truly uninterrupted flow.
- Shared Furnishings: Use similar textures, like natural wood or woven rattan, in furniture for both areas. This repetition strengthens the visual connection.
- Natural Lighting: Ensure large windows or bi-fold doors are kept clean and unobstructed to maximise light, making the exterior feel like an extension of the interior.
By pairing the robust, jointless continuity of Viero’s microcement with the soft, textured elegance of our lime wash, you can design a space that feels larger, calmer, and beautifully in tune with nature.
