Finish

Limewash NYC

Limewash is a finish of quiet movement and aged, organic character. While traditionally applied with a wide brush to create a weathered look, we have developed a specialized technique that redefines this classic material. By layering the wash with a trowel, we achieve a finish that sits beautifully between the depth of Venetian Plaster and the softness of Roman Clay — delivering an effect that is even more nuanced and delicate.

Artisanal Application — Modern Sophistication

By moving away from the traditional brush stroke, our trowel-applied limewash creates a sophisticated, cloud-like patina with ultra-fine transitions. This method allows the pigments to settle into a more architectural texture, offering a tactile depth that feels both ancient and contemporary. It provides more dimension than standard paint, yet remains softer and more breathable than a heavy polished plaster.

Whether specified for a minimalist living room or a high-ceilinged bedroom suite, this elevated application brings a bespoke, hand-crafted feel to any surface. The result is a luminous, breathable wall finish that captures light with effortless elegance.

Featured project

Hamptons Residence

A full-home limewash application for a light-filled Hamptons residence. We finished the house in limewash throughout, from the vaulted living room and kitchen to the fireplace surround, so every wall shares the same soft, chalky movement that shifts with the daylight from room to room.
