It also provides an adequate splash back in kitchen and bathrooms.
While it works in any space to create natural textures, it’s especially well-suited to bathrooms – especially when you consider the naturally antibacterial qualities due to its high alkalinity. It even extracts carbon dioxide out of the air – so it makes your home environment healthier, too. Unlike modern synthetic paint which creates a seal on surfaces and locks moisture inside walls (which can cause water build up leading to blistering, bubbling and even structural wall damage) limewash works with the surface to which it is applied. The brand championing this revival is Bauwerk – a mineral-based natural paint that creates a soft, chalky, natural appearance with subtle textures. Easy and forgiving, the result is multi-dimensional and luminous. Created when limestone or calcium carbonate is crushed, burned and mixed with water and natural pigments, it’s traditionally applied to plaster and stucco – although modern-day formulas can work with more contemporary materials. While limewash paints are having a revival, the technique itself is not new in fact, with ancient origins, limewash is one of the oldest decorating finishes. From polished plaster to Moroccan tadelakt, decorating a wall no longer means a flat, one-dimensional finish.
