The feature wall dates back to the 18th century when aristocrats commissioned elaborate wall coverings to display their wealth and sophistication.
Picture the scene: You’re sitting in the garden, cocktail in hand, hosting a dinner party with friends on a long summer night. As the night draws in, you head inside, switch on the lights and find yourself immersed in a space that is equally fresh and serene — all thanks to your paint choice.
Bauwerk paints are eco-friendly, fadeproof, permeable paints with a natural finish. In this article, we’ll explore their limewash range — our favourites for a year-round feeling of indoor-outdoor living.
Organic and inviting, Bauwerk’s “Calm” limewash paint provides the perfect canvas for a space that encourages total rest. The soft, chalky texture of the limewash adds depth and a sense of tranquillity, enveloping the room in a soothing, natural elegance.
On the opposite end of the colour spectrum, we have the shade “Riverstone” — a captivating earthy grey that is simultaneously warm and inviting while cool and striking. Pair this with natural wood accents and soft linen furnishings to create a harmonious balance of texture and warmth.
Part of the Hoxton X Bauwerk Neighbourhood Collection, “Casa” has all the artistic soul of Berlin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and Barcelona — the cities that inspired its creation. Use this paint in a sun-drenched dining area to evoke warmth with an edge or in a cosy reading nook to add a lively, creative spark.
The shade “Nest” is the deepest of deep blues — a reminder of tranquil twilight skies, ocean escape, and quiet moments of reflection. Create a sanctuary in your home by pairing this with earthy neutrals and plush textiles, grounding the deep shade with comforting warmth.
It’s important to note that Bauwerk limewash paints don’t only work on interiors. You can use them on exterior masonry surfaces such as render, cement and bricks — and the shade “Malibu” provides the perfect example of how this can look. Vibrant pink with contrasting subtle tones bring the wall to life.
