Elevated Interiors with Portola Paints

In Los Angeles, design is more than just aesthetics—it's a reflection of personality, lifestyle, and the city’s layered energy. From the laid-back charm of Silver Lake to the architectural richness of Hancock Park, homeowners and designers are embracing finishes that feel grounded, tactile, and uniquely expressive. And when it comes to achieving that look, Portola Paints is leading the way.

Known for its artisanal depth and natural movement, Portola Paints offers a level of craftsmanship that resonates with LA’s design-forward sensibility. Catalina Paints is proud to be an authorized retailer, bringing these distinctive finishes to neighborhoods across the city.

The Allure of Lime Wash and Roman Clay

Portola’s two signature finishes—Lime Wash andRoman Clay—are redefining interior surfaces with texture, nuance, and mood.

Lime Wash offers a soft, weathered look that reacts beautifully to natural light—ideal for bright, airy homes from Santa Monica to Studio City. The finish creates a chalky, matte surface with layered, organic movement that makes every wall feel like a work of art. Made with natural minerals, Lime Wash is a smart choice for those seeking environmentally conscious options without compromising style.

Roman Clay delivers a rich, plaster-like feel with subtle sheen—perfect for everything from modern bungalows in Mar Vista to Spanish-style homes in Glendale. Its velvety texture lends a quiet drama that elevates any room, whether used on full walls, fireplace surrounds, or accent features.
