Lime wash offers unique benefits that make it the perfect choice for interior design, and its popularity is notably on the rise in the Seattle area:
Interior Painting
Lime wash is made from natural limestone and minerals, making it a non-toxic, VOC-free option that’s safe for your home and the environment.
It allows surfaces to breathe, helping regulate humidity and preventing moisture buildup (ideal for older homes or plaster walls).
Lime wash creates a soft, cloud-like matte finish with depth, variation, and movement. It’s perfect for achieving a rustic, old-world, or minimal look.
Thanks to its pH, lime wash naturally resists mold, mildew, and bacteria, providing both health benefits and beauty.
Over time, lime wash develops a natural patina that enhances the character of your space, rather than deteriorating like conventional paint.

Lime wash is naturally fire-resistant and can last for years when properly applied, especially on interior surfaces.
It complements a wide range of design styles, from traditional European interiors to modern minimalist spaces, and can be customized in a variety of tones.

Whether you’re updating your walls or enhancing your home with a timeless natural finish, lime wash painting offers a unique blend of beauty, durability, and character.
Our skilled lime wash interior painting specialists combine traditional application methods with modern techniques to deliver exceptional, long-lasting results.
Lime wash requires proper surface preparation and is best applied by professionals. It adheres best to porous, mineral-based surfaces and may not bond well to previously painted or synthetic finishes without proper treatment
The cost of lime wash depends on factors such as surface condition, room size, and the desired level of finish. For an accurate quote, we recommend scheduling a personalized estimate based on your specific project.
Lime wash is eco-friendly, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial. It creates a soft, matte finish with organic movement and character that evolves beautifully over time, qualities that standard paints simply can’t replicate.
Lime wash works best on porous surfaces such as plaster, brick, or raw drywall. If applied over previously painted or sealed surfaces, a mineral-based primer may be required to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.
