Limewash is a mineral finish, not a paint

Naturally breathable and highly alkaline, limewash helps regulate moisture and creates an environment that discourages mould growth. It contains no harsh plastic sheen, making it ideal for both traditional properties and modern interiors seeking a natural, timeless finish.

Because the finish is mineral and porous, light does not bounce off it the way it does off an acrylic paint. It sinks in, so a single wall reads lighter in the morning and deeper by evening, and the mottling shifts as you move past it. The surface stays matte and chalk-soft to the touch, with the subtle unevenness that comes from pigment and hand application rather than a flat printed colour.

What's in the tin

Four ingredients, nothing else here is what each one does to the wall.

01 Matured lime putty

Matured lime putty is the heart of real limewash lime that has been slaked and left to mature, giving the finish its soft, chalky body and its mineral character.

02 Natural clays

Natural clays give the mix its working body, so it can be laid on, worked and blended while it is still open on the wall.

03 Earth pigments

Earth pigments are the colour of the limewash, ground from the earth rather than mixed from a synthetic dye, so the shade settles into the wall instead of sitting on top of it.

04 Carefully selected binders

Carefully selected binders hold the lime, clay and pigment together and help the finish bond to the mineral surface it is applied to.

The mottled, light-shifting mineral surface crushed limestone, natural ocres and water produce on a wall.

A surface that shifts with the light

Morning light finds the wall cool and quiet, almost chalky. By afternoon the same wall warms and deepens, and the mottling you barely noticed at breakfast reads clearly across the surface. Nothing about the wall has changed only the daylight moving across it.

Because the finish is mineral rather than a film sitting on top, it settles into the wall and softens as it cures. Edges blur, the tone evens out, and the surface keeps a gentle movement instead of reading flat and uniform.

Before you choose your colour

The questions we're asked most, answered plainly.

What is your limewash actually made from?

It's a genuine mineral limewash, made from just a handful of natural ingredients: • Crushed limestone • Natural earth pigments • Natural ocres • Water • Clays No acrylics, no plastic binders nothing that forms a film on your wall.

How is this different from ordinary wall paint?

Ordinary paint sits on top of your wall as a layer. Limewash bonds into the surface and becomes part of the wall itself. That's why it breathes, why it develops that soft mottled depth as it dries, and why it ages with the plaster instead of peeling away from it.

How much do I need for my wall?

It depends on your wall surface and how many coats you apply — a thirsty, freshly plastered wall will drink more than a sealed one. Rather than guess, check the pack sizes listed on the product page and match them to your wall area and the number of coats you're planning.

When will it arrive?

3–4 working days within the USA & Canada. If you're ordering from anywhere else, check the product page for the destinations we currently ship to.

Can I return it if the colour isn't right?

Yes — unopened tins can be returned within 30 days. Opened tins can't be returned, so if you're unsure between two shades, order a sample first and live with it on your wall for a few days before committing.
