6 Beautiful Plaster-coloured Bedroom Ideas
Soft and chalky, neutral yet warm, this versatile colour is perfect for creating a calming sanctuary for good sleep
If you’ve ever appreciated a freshly plastered room just before it gets its first mist coat of paint and wondered, “Should we keep it like this?” you’re not alone. The soft and chalky faded rose hue of bare plaster has been a popular interior finish for a while and used to great effect by many designers on Houzz.
It’s a shade that works particularly well in the bedroom, as it’s gentle to wake up to, adds colour without being brash, and is also incredibly versatile, no matter your style. See for yourself…

2. Add pale wood
This bedroom in a converted barn by Run for the Hills features the classic combination of pale pink, blond wood and soft brass, the latter two bringing textural interest and added warmth.
The white, meanwhile, adds an element of crispness to the warm layers of the pink, brass and timber, creating the perfect rustic retreat.

3. Use it in children’s spaces
A sweet but not sugary pink like this makes for a good, gentle backdrop for a child’s bedroom; it’s pink without being too pink.
To give it an even more stylish tweak, try this idea from Consult by FD, who painted just the bottom half of the room in the colour, treating the top half to a soft white shade for a clean finish and higher-looking ceiling.

4. Combine with black and brass accents
Here’s the real deal: in this bedroom by Fraher & Findlay, the walls are bare plaster, simply sealed. The skirting boards are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster to blend in.
The effect of pairing the muted salmony shade with black accents, notably the window and door frames, shows how adaptable the colour is – just compare it to the child’s room above. Brass details and reeded glass add to the grown-up effect in this principal suite.

5. Give it some texture
In large rooms, texture can be used to great effect, as seen in this sophisticated bedroom featuring pink sisal wallpaper the colour of calamine lotion.
Rather than opting for a flat finish on the walls, designer Charlotte Heather chose gentle texture to add depth and pattern in order to soften what is a large space.
The colour of the walls is picked out in that vibrant, floral headboard fabric, as well as in the cushions, curtain trims and throw, pulling the whole look together.

6. Introduce through upholstery
Paint isn’t the only way to add this colour to your space. If you’re not up for committing to plaster pink walls, or not redecorating any time soon, take inspiration from this bedroom designed by JT Interiors.
The textiles here all reflect the hue, but each is differently patterned, lending different tonal qualities to the colour in each case.
You can also see, thanks to the cushions, how beautifully it works with green, as suggested earlier.

Pick the right shade of blue – and the right texture – to combine with your plaster-pink-kissed walls and you’ll create visual harmony.
Plaster is a colour with peachy undertones, positioning it opposite blue on the colour wheel; cool and warm shades. The result? Balance.
In this example by Brooke Copp-Barton, it’s not just about the colours, though, but also the textures. The pink wall has an ultra-matt quality to it, typical of plaster, while the pale blue curves of the velvet headboard are soft and tactile. A tonally comparable green would also work well.
