‘Can I use limewash in a bathroom?’ is one of the most common questions we get asked. The short answer is—yes, you can paint your bathroom with Bauwerk limewash. Our paint is not just suitable for high-humidity environments, it thrives in these demanding conditions. Limewash paint offers several benefits compared to other finishing products. Firstly, limewash paint is non-film-forming, which means it doesn’t blister or peel, even when used in steamy environments. Secondly, it’s naturally anti-bacterial and will resist mould.  All in all, limewash paint ticks all areas in terms of supporting a healthy environment.

From a design perspective, it's easy to understand why people are keen to use limewash in their bathrooms. These spaces tend to feel cold–physically and visually– from all the requisite hard finishes. Limewash is the perfect antidote, softening a room and providing visual warmth.  This is evident in the stunning tonal and textural bathrooms found in the home of Australian designer Georgia Ezra. "I wanted a depth and warmth which coincided with our handmade Tiles of Ezra Moroccan tiles," Georgia said. "I wanted to really set a mood, and the Bauwerk limewash has such beautiful transparency in layering yet strength to it. It gave me the look, and most importantly, the feel I was after and more."

So it's clear WHY you should use limewash in a bathroom...but where you use it and how depends on your situation and lifestyle. Let's discuss some of the factors to consider...

“If it stands still, we lime wash it! We did all the walls and ceiling in our bathroom and the space benefits from it so much. It creates a space that surrounds you in warmth and texture."
