Limewash Trends in 2025

In 2025, both Limewash and Limewash Clay are trending due to the rise of organic textures, soft minimalism, and earthy colour palettes. Homeowners and designers are moving away from flat, sterile white walls in favor of depth, warmth, and handcrafted finishes.

Limewash Clay in 2025 – Expect to see warm beiges, soft terracottas, and muted olives dominating modern interiors, especially in bedrooms and dining rooms, where people seek a cozy, organic atmosphere.

Traditional Limewash in 2025 – Used for fireplace surrounds, accent walls, and exterior facades, this classic finish remains a favorite in luxury wellness spaces, boutique hotels, and Mediterranean-inspired homes.

Both finishes offer a timeless, textured look, but choosing between them depends on whether you prefer the breathable, aged effect of traditional limewash or the refined, velvety depth of Limewash Clay.

Limewash and Limewash Clay are both natural, textured wall finishes, but they have key differences in composition and appearance.

Traditional Limewash is made from crushed limestone and water, creating a breathable, mineral-based paint that absorbs into surfaces, offering a soft, matte, cloud-like texture with natural movement. It works best on brick, stone, plaster, and other porous materials.

 Limewash Clay, also known as clay-based limewash, combines clay, minerals, and natural binders to create a finish with richer depth and enhanced texture. Unlike traditional limewash, which has a chalky, powdery effect, Limewash Clay offers a smoother, velvety appearance with slightly more structure. It’s ideal for interior walls, adding a subtle, earthy elegance that complements modern organic and Japandi design trends.

Limewash Paint: Everything You Need to Know About It…

Limewash Paint: Everything You Need to Know About It…

What is the difference between limewash and regular paint?2025-09-17T15:53:57-04:00

Limewash is a mineral-based paint that is absorbed into the wall, creating a matte, breathable finish with natural movement. Regular paint creates a solid film on the surface and has a more uniform, flat appearance.

How do you clean a limewash wall?2025-09-18T11:16:55-04:00

For regular cleaning, simply dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For smudges, a slightly damp, pH-neutral cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive scrubbing, as they can damage the finish.

Can you use limewash in any room?2025-09-17T15:53:37-04:00

Limewash is highly versatile and can be used in almost any room. For the interiors it’s particularly popular for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where its soft, calming effect is most appreciated. While it’s breathable, it can also be sealed for use in certain kitchens or bathrooms.

How to Achieve that Soft, Cloud-like Texture through Limewashing?2025-09-18T11:16:31-04:00

The soft, cloud-like texture is the result of a specialized hand-applied technique that leverages the unique composition of limewash. Unlike regular paint, which is rolled on in a flat, uniform layer, limewash is applied in multiple thin coats using broad brushstrokes. This process creates subtle variations in tone and opacity, allowing the finish to have a natural, organic movement that is unique to each surface.

Is Limewash Durable and Resistant to Moisture?2025-09-17T16:01:26-04:00

Yes, a properly applied limewash finish is very durable. Over time, the lime in the paint absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, causing it to harden and become highly resistant to chipping. While it is naturally breathable, it can be made resistant to moisture with the correct sealant, making it a viable option for bathrooms and other high-humidity areas.

How Does Limewash Compare to Regular Paint in Terms of Cost?2025-09-17T16:02:10-04:00

Limewash is generally three times more expensive than regular paint, and the cost difference is due to the specialized product and the hand-applied technique. A limewash project requires multiple layers and is a slow, meticulous process that depends on the skill of an artisan. The cost reflects this dedicated craftsmanship and the time required to create a unique, high-end finish. It’s an investment in a custom surface rather than a standard paint job.

Can limewash be applied to any surface?2025-09-25T14:14:25-04:00

Limewash works best on porous surfaces like brick, stone, plaster, and unsealed drywall. It does not adhere well to sealed, glossy, or synthetic surfaces without proper priming.

Does limewash require special maintenance?2025-09-25T14:16:25-04:00

Limewash is low-maintenance and does not require frequent repainting. It naturally resists mold and mildew due to its high pH. If cleaning is needed, a gentle damp cloth is usually sufficient—avoid harsh chemicals that could alter the finish.

 

Can limewash be applied in different colors?2025-09-25T14:15:41-04:00

Yes! Limewash can be tinted with natural pigments to create a variety of colours. From warm neutrals and soft beiges to moody charcoals and deep earthy tones, we offer a colour and design consultation to match your design vision.

 

Why should I hire a professional limewash painter instead of doing it myself?2025-09-25T14:16:15-04:00

Limewash application requires specific techniques, such as layering, brush strokes, and colour blending, to achieve the desired cloudy, textural effect. DIY attempts can lead to uneven coverage and patchy results. Our Toronto limewash experts ensure a seamless, professional finish tailored to your space.

Our Limewash Accent Wall Painting Process

  • Step 1. Limewash Color Consultation: Kickstart the process with a complimentary texture and color consultation with our in-house designer. Discuss your preferences and ideas to create a personalized plan.

  • Step 2. Surface Preparation: We start by thoroughly washing the surface to remove any dirt or debris. Allow it to dry completely before priming.

  • Step 3. Priming: We then apply a specialized primer to enhance adhesion and ensure a smooth base for the limewash paint. This step prepares the surface for the limewash application.

  • Step 4. Application of Limewash: We then 1-2 coats of limewash using a crisscross X and cloud technique for added texture and depth. Each layer contributes to the cloudy appearance, creating a unique and artistic finish.

  • Step 5. Application of Cloth Technique: After applying the desired coats, employ the cloth technique to wash off a portion of the limewash paint. This step adds nuances to the finish, revealing lighter tones and enhancing the overall aesthetics.

  • Step 6. Drying Phase: Allow the limewashed surface to air-dry naturally. The drying process is crucial for achieving the final color and texture, giving the limewash its distinctive appearance.

  • Step 7 Final Touches: Once the limewash is fully dried, we evaluate the final look. Fine-tune any areas if needed to achieve the desired look, ensuring a cohesive and visually pleasing finish.

Don’t wait to give your home a timeless finish. As the leading limewash painters in Toronto, we guarantee an unmatched, museum-quality result.
