ToggleLime wash is a traditional wall finish made from slaked lime and natural pigments. Once applied, it penetrates deeply into the surface and reacts with carbon dioxide in the air, creating a soft, weathered patina that only becomes more beautiful over time. It’s non-toxic, naturally mold-resistant, and allows walls to breathe.
Lime wash has been used for thousands of years in Europe and the Mediterranean. Its advantages include:
Zero VOCs – Completely natural and breathable
Antibacterial and mold-resistant – Great for bathrooms and kitchens
Aged patina over time – Adds charm and depth
Sustainable – Low carbon footprint and biodegradable
We apply lime wash in a variety of Colorado interiors:
Living rooms and bedrooms
Accent walls and fireplaces
Commercial interiors (cafés, boutiques, showrooms)
Bathrooms (when sealed properly)
With the right preparation, lime wash can be applied over drywall, brick, or plaster for a luxurious matte look
