At ProMax Painters, our Interior Lime Wash service offers more than just a coat of paint — it delivers a timeless, artisan finish that evokes the soft, elegant textures of old-world plaster walls. Lime wash creates a natural, velvety patina that changes subtly with light and age, giving your interior an authentic, stone-like depth.
Lime wash is a mineral-based finish made from slaked lime (crushed limestone and water) that chemically bonds with wall surfaces to form a subtle, textured layer. Unlike conventional paint, it breathes: moisture can pass through, reducing the risk of trapped humidity and improving wall health.
This finish has been used for centuries in historic architecture, but it’s finding renewed popularity in modern interiors because of its eco-friendly, natural, and sophisticated look.
Choosing lime wash for your interiors brings a unique combination of beauty, sustainability, and functionality. Its cloudy, mottled texture and chalky matte finish create a handcrafted, stone-like appearance that adds timeless elegance and character to any space. Made from natural materials and containing zero VOCs, traditional lime wash is an eco-conscious, non-toxic choice. Unlike conventional paint, it is breathable, allowing walls to “breathe,” which helps prevent moisture buildup and reduces the risk of mold. Lime wash also ages gracefully, developing a soft, natural patina over time rather than peeling or cracking. Highly versatile, it can be applied to drywall, plaster, unsealed brick, stone, and even previously painted surfaces when properly prepared.
We begin by understanding your style, the room’s function, and lighting. Lime wash looks different under various lighting conditions, so we help you choose the right shade or technique for your space.
We thoroughly clean the walls, fill cracks, and sand as needed. We may apply a primer, depending on the underlying surface, to ensure proper adhesion.
We use a two-coat method: our expert painters apply the first coat in a cross-hatch or cloud-like pattern using brushes, ensuring natural variation. After the first coat dries, we apply a second coat to deepen the texture and achieve the desired tonal richness. If a more uniform look is desired, we can add a third coat.
Depending on usage (e.g., bathroom, kitchen), we can apply a water-based sealer or wax to improve washability, while preserving the unique matte patina. Our team carefully blends and “feathers” edges to avoid harsh lines and ensure the texture flows naturally across walls.
We clean up thoroughly and leave your space ready for living. We also provide maintenance guidance: lime wash doesn’t require repainting like traditional paint; touch-ups may involve reapplication in small areas as needed.
