What does limewash paint do?
1 Answer
What limewash paint does is lend an attractive appearance and textural effect to materials like wood, plaster, concrete, stucco and masonry. Once dry, it has a mottled look and a chalky texture that resembles suede. Limewash consists of finely ground limestone mixed with pigments and water. The mineral content of the paint diffuses light, creating an almost luminescent effect that is appealing on everything from walls to furniture. Explore a wide range of furniture on 1stDibs.
