Beautiful silk plaster can be used not only in classic,but also a modern interior. In such ensembles, it is also permissible to apply calm and concise light colors. If you like bold solutions, then you should get a more saturated and bright plaster of green, pink, peach, orange, blue or gray shade.

Against such a background, ultra-modern decorations, appliances and furniture will look organic. Modern styles allow the use of bright contrasts. For example, on a background of white or silver walls decorated with silk plaster, such elements as a black corner sofa or a black and white sofa will look expensive and stylish.

Today, attic loft is rightfully recognized as one of the most popular styles. In the interior, made in a similar vein, silk plaster of a coarse gray color is most often used. Being on the walls, it creates the effect of bare concrete walls, which is a suitable solution for the style mentioned.

Despite the fact that you can use bright colors in the nursery, you still do not need to overload the room with them. Try to competently combine furniture and decoration, so that the interior does not seem too colorful and catchy.

The same rules should be followed if you pick up silk plaster for an adult bedroom. In such circumstances, you should not use too bold and catchy finishing materials. They will be pleased with their brightness only for the first time, and then they will start to annoy.
