Limewash
Lime has been treasured for thousands of years both in farming and construction for its natural antibacterial, alkaline, breathable, and eco-friendly properties.
In building work, it remains a key ingredient in mortar, an essential tool in historic restoration, and a trusted interior and exterior wall treatment.
But did you know that with the right preparation, limewash can also be used for cosmetic interior applications to create a stunning, natural alternative to modern paint?
Unlike conventional paints, limewash doesn’t just sit on the surface—it reacts with the wall, creating a living finish that is completely organic, breathable, and toxin-free.
What I love the most about limewash is its beautiful inherent unpredictability and grounding sense of connection it brings.
Because of its organic nature, the final result is never flat or uniform—it moves and shifts with the light, creating anything from a soft, mottled texture to a deep, velvety richness. No two applications are ever the same, yet the result is always timeless, elegant, and full of character.
