Textured Walls Are In
here are 5 Limewash Paints We Love:
As we've seen, texture has become a major theme, making limewash paints a favorite. Limewash, with its chalky, velvety limestone-based finish, is designed to showcase the movement of the brush rather than conceal it. The subtle nuances and inherent movement of the paint remain visible, giving each application a unique character that celebrates imperfections as part of its artistic charm. The level of texture can be adjusted to suit your taste by applying more or less limewash.
I love talking about limewash because it's like a mix between paint and plaster. It’s not flat like normal paint. it has a chalkiness and body that truly make it stand out. Depending on the application, it can look smooth or very textured, making it super unique.
