Why Choose the Bare Plaster Look?

The bare plaster trend is all about embracing natural textures and tones, creating a calming backdrop that works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional homes. It’s warm, earthy feel is versatile and pairs well with a variety of decor styles, from Scandi minimalism to industrial chic. Plus, the neutral tones provide the perfect canvas for layering with natural materials like wood, linen, and metal accents.

Verus Paint Shades for the Bare Plaster Look

At Verus Paint, we’ve designed shades that capture the subtle depth and warmth of bare plaster, allowing you to bring this trend into your home with ease. Here are two shades to consider:

  • Georgina: The closest match to natural plaster, Georgina is a soft, muted neutral with hints of pink undertones that mimic the raw beauty of freshly dried plaster. It’s perfect for creating a light and airy feel in living spaces, bedrooms, or even kitchens.
  • Medina: For those who prefer a deeper, richer tone, Medina offers a more dramatic take on the bare plaster look. With its warm, earthy undertones, Medina adds depth and coziness to any room, making it ideal for accent walls or spaces where you want to create a more intimate atmosphere.
  • Both shades pair beautifully with Chantilly and Serene — complimentary colours that work well on your woodwork and ceiling.

How to Use Bare Plaster Shades in Your Home

Here are some tips to incorporate this trend into your interiors:

  1. Pair with Natural Materials: Complement the warmth of Georgina or Medina with natural textures like rustic oak furniture, jute rugs, and woven baskets. These materials enhance the earthy, grounded feel of the space.
  2. Play with Lighting: Bare plaster shades come alive under soft, warm lighting. Use wall sconces, pendant lights, or table lamps with dimmers to highlight the subtle tones and create a cozy ambiance.
  3. Layer with Neutrals: Keep the palette cohesive by layering similar neutral tones in your decor. Think beige cushions, cream throws, or terracotta pottery to build a harmonious and inviting space.
  4. Add a Pop of Greenery: Bring a fresh touch with indoor plants. The natural greens will contrast beautifully against the warm undertones of Georgina and Medina, adding a burst of life to your room.
  5. To find the perfect shade for your home, we recommend ordering a hand-painted peel-and-stick sample. This allows you to see how Georgina or Medina looks in your own space and lighting before making a decision.
