The Trendy Shower Tile Alternative
You Should Consider In
Your Bathroom
By LEAH THOMSEN
For lovers of a clean, modern palette, plaster shower walls produce a minimalist look. With no harsh lines and only subtle textural varieties, plaster has a calming visual appeal.
Where tile can be unforgiving if you make a mistake with your tile size, grout thickness, or application angle, plaster comes with none of these headaches.
Since plaster is non-porous, it’s less likely to absorb moisture in bathroom showers, meaning less mold, mildew, and fungus. This makes it easier to clean than grimy grout.
From earthen plaster to Venetian limestone, it comes in natural shades of creamy beige, stony sand, and gray, making it an aesthetically pleasing material for a modern design.
Some variations can also be given a slight tint with pigmented minerals to create richer shades of pink-brown or charcoal black.
