1. GROUND SETTING PLASTER WITH A BOLD BURGUNDY
I think Setting Plaster is as grown up as pink paints get, but if you want to really tone down the sweetness, pair it with dark hues. Black is too harsh, a soft brown works, as does a really deep blue, but the color combination that feels most on trend right now is pink with a deep red or burgundy.
2. FRESHEN THE WARMER TONES WITH COOLER SHADES
Pink is one of those chameleon colors that can work with both warm shades and cooler tones. Setting Plaster can be a really earthy color if you pair it with other warm shades like browns, creams, and beige and in this kind of set up it becomes far closer to a neutral itself rather than a pink. But pair with fresher cooler tones like blues and greens and it also becomes far fresher and cooler.
3.USE SETTING PLASTER AS A BACKDROP FOR MIXING STYLES
Not only is Setting Plaster versatile in that it happily sits alongside most other colors, it also works with many styles. Its more muted tones mean it works perfectly with softer more rustic and traditional styles, but it's also ideal for warming up more modern or minimalist spaces.
4. SOFTEN A BATHROOM COLOR SCHEME
Not so long ago a bathroom color scheme was all about white. White fixtures often dictated that the go-to colors were whites, greys, chromes, very cool and clean. However, bathroom trends have been shifting and we are starting to approach bathrooms far more like living rooms, bringing in colors, textures, depth. Bathrooms are no longer sterile, but soft and Setting Plaster is the perfect shade to make even a practical space feel warmer and more welcoming.
5. LIGHTEN A DARK ROOM WITH SETTING PLASTER
It has been mentioned already that Setting Plaster is great for rooms of any aspect, but works particularly well in spaces that don't get a lot of natural light or if you want to warm up cooler light. In a light-starved room is when you will see my favorite version of Setting Plaster, I think this is when it most represents its name. It's barely pink, almost pale brown in fact and it works so nicely to make darker rooms feel really elegant.
6. TRY SETTING PLASTER ON KITCHEN CABINETS
Pink kitchens have become as classic as gray kitchens. Choosing Setting Plaster for your kitchen, whether it's on the cabinets or on the walls, leans into that ever-growing kitchen trend to make these feel like softer and more welcoming spaces.
