How to Achieve the Best Limewash Texture

🎨 1. Use a Natural Bristle Brush

Synthetic brushes don’t create the same organic pattern. A wide, natural bristle masonry brush helps deliver soft streaks and visible movement on the wall.

🧴 2. Apply Thin, Uneven Coats

Limewash thrives on imperfection. Apply multiple thin coats (not one thick one), with criss-cross strokes. Let each coat dry completely before adding the next.

🌫 3. Embrace Layered Colors

Want depth? Use two similar limewash shades, layering the lighter one over the darker. This creates shadow, movement, and an elegant aged effect.
