rustic coarse plastered feel?

[Onelight]

Hello!

I will eventually insulate and furnish our attic. I would like to have the plastered and whitewashed look on one of the gable walls (interior wall) in the old style you can see on stone houses further south, in Skåne and Denmark. Now I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to go about it. As I mentioned, I will put up a new interior wall and am wondering which material is best to apply plaster on. Gypsum? Chipboard? Plank? Should the material be pre-treated with something so that the plaster adheres? How do I achieve that old rough plaster look with a bit of waviness? All ideas are welcome! Thank you.

If I were to plaster, I would focus on a stable base that doesn't risk moving and causing cracks (such as plasterboard). Maybe even double plasterboard to support all the plaster? Then you probably put chicken wire to hold the plaster, if I remember correctly.

Should the material be pre-treated with something for the plaster to adhere? How do I go about getting that old rough plaster feel with some waves in it? All ideas are welcome! Thanks

Plaster the wall and use gypsum plaster. It is incredibly easy to work with and simple to achieve a nice result. You spread it on the wall and then brush it with a broom or smooth it if you think there’s too much texture with the broom...

it’s as simple as that...

Thank you so much. The project is quite far in the future but I am looking forward to this project.

Hello! I have the same question but I have concrete walls in my apartment. Is it just a matter of applying a layer of indoor plaster and then brushing it to get a matte stone feel? How do you do it if you want a color on the wall? Do you color the plaster then so that it becomes infused?

Thankful for an answer.

I have plastered my concrete walls with regular cement-based plaster, it is a bit bumpier to work with and requires a little more practice before you know how to do it than gypsum plaster. But it is not particularly difficult. Check here: http://www.coop.se/upload/modul/coopse/vh-utomhus/putsa-vaggar.pdf




and here you can check more information regarding gypsum plaster: http://www.maxit.se/media/22/pdf/gds/putsa_inne_gypsum.pdf




and when it comes to paint, just paint with regular wall paint once the plaster has dried (unless it's basement exterior walls... then you need a paint that breathes).
