Use lime, cement plaster, or gypsum plaster in the living area?

Plaster is the usual choice but probably more for monetary reasons. Lime-cement is in my opinion more valuable but has a different texture, which can be quite appealing. It is moisture-resistant, but that does not make it the exclusive "wet room plaster." It is simply a positive characteristic or a negative one of gypsum plaster (just like its vulnerability to impact). I won’t say anything about any room climate gurus.

We have decided on lime-cement plaster. We have not started with it yet, but my brother is very satisfied with it.

Nowadays, almost every floor plan has an open kitchen, so the question of the wet room in the living room should actually be resolved. Due to various energy saving regulations or controlled residential ventilation requirements, often only recirculating extractor hoods are installed, so while the potatoes are simmering away, the steam circulates in the living room. Gypsum plaster can swell. Lime cement cannot.

Gypsum plaster can swell. Lime-cement cannot.

Clay plaster neither Lime as well... both probably a category more expensive - and also more difficult to paint

Difficult is relative. You just have to accept [Kalkzement] with a certain granularity and not smooth like a baby’s bottom. Don’t start with me,.... [Lehm], ....you.

Nowadays, almost every floor plan has an open kitchen, which should basically settle the question of a wet room in the living room. Due to various energy saving regulations or controlled residential ventilation requirements, often only recirculation extractor hoods are installed, so while the potatoes are simmering quietly, the steam spreads through the living room. Gypsum plaster can swell. Lime-cement plaster does not.

So gypsum plaster does not swell from potato water. Something more would have to happen. The kitchen is not a wet room.
