Clay plaster For a natural look that offers character and an interesting play of light and shadow, while also being inviting in an industrial or contemporary pad, it’s hard to go past the appeal of an earthen-look plaster finish. Made from fine clay and built-in marble dust, this finish is not restricted to grey. Natural oxides can be added to create a palette of warm to cool neutrals and earth tones. This finish is cool – not just in regards to how it looks in trendy designer circles – but from a practical point of view, it also maintains a cool temperature inside. The plaster wall featured in the Brisbane bathroom pictured here was installed by Wonder Wall. The polished finish adds a clean and contemporary look to a bathroom. DESIGN TIP: Use an experienced plasterer and complete the finish yourself with two coats of Carnauba wax or palm wax. COST: Expect to pay from $95 for 10 litres. The wax costs $36 for 500 grams.

Running the striking black-and-white tiles from the floor to a single wall at the rear of this narrow bathroom draws the eye the full length of the room, creating the illusion of space.
