Lime Paint

Lime paint delivers an ultra-matt finish with a mineral, subtly textured look. Its shades shift with the light, sometimes creating an effect reminiscent of fabric. It is suitable for walls and ceilings, and even furniture, adding a depth that a standard acrylic paint simply cannot achieve. You'll find it in grand Belgian townhouses and period properties as well as in contemporary, Scandinavian-inspired interiors. Craftsmen and detail-minded homeowners alike love it for its lively, natural character. Before choosing your colour, bear in mind that lime never gives a perfectly uniform finish. Shading, clouding and tool marks are all part of the result. Always test it first on a sample board or an inconspicuous area, and look at it at different times of day: the colour varies greatly depending on how much light the room gets. It is usually applied in two coats, with a brush for a softer, more nuanced effect or with a filling knife for a bolder finish. Work in complete sections, without stopping halfway across a wall, to avoid visible lap marks.
