Farrow & Ball Setting Plaster:
The Ultimate Trade Match

“Named after the blushing hue of freshly plastered walls, Setting Plaster is the architectural rose that brings a permanent golden hour to any room.”

Why we love it...

Setting Plaster isn't just "pink"—it's a sophisticated neutral. With a heavy dose of yellow pigment, it creates a warm, cocooning feel that never feels cold or sugary. It’s the perfect backdrop for Modern Victorian or Warm Minimalist homes.
