Limewash Over Plaster Walls

Limewash is one of the oldest, most natural wall finishes — and when applied over plaster, it creates a soft, textured aesthetic with beautiful tonal variation. At Deco Plaster Studio, we specialize in hand-brushed lime paint finishes that allow your plaster surfaces to breathe and age gracefully.

Why Choose Limewash?

• Breathable: Limewash is fully permeable and ideal for older homes and natural materials.
• Non-toxic: Made from slaked lime and natural pigments — no VOCs, ever.
• Visual Depth: Achieves a cloudy, suede-like finish that’s both organic and elegant.
• Matte Texture: Lime paint has a chalky, matte look that changes with light throughout the day.

Perfect for Modern & Rustic Spaces

From farmhouse interiors to minimalist lofts, limewash complements a range of aesthetics. We often pair it with polished Venetian plaster, rough Marmorino, or even Tadelakt in bathrooms. It works beautifully on feature walls, fireplaces, and full-room applications.

Application Notes

We apply limewash over properly cured plaster surfaces — typically in 2–3 coats. The result is a breathable, natural wall that improves with age and resists moisture damage when maintained properly.

Service areas: Hudson Valley, NYC, Westchester, and surrounding regions.
