Terrific texture

The chalky, nuanced texture of limewash lends walls a soft look that improves with age. Made using all natural materials, limewash improves air quality by taking carbon dioxide from the air, resulting in a healthier sleeping environment. ‘Limewash works on most walls, especially natural surfaces such as brick, stone, lime plaster and render,’ says Bronwyn Riedel, co-founder of Bauwerk Colour. Pro tip: remember that when applying limewash, thin is best. Spread it as far as it will naturally go.
