How to Achieve the Best Limewash Texture
Â
🎨 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.
Â
đź§´ 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.
Â
🌫 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.
