Limewash
Limewash creates a soft, chalky, slightly cloudy finish with gentle tonal variation — a relaxed, earthy, Mediterranean feel that’s very on-trend. It suits warm, characterful and natural-leaning interiors, on a feature wall or throughout a room.
Textured finishes
Textured paints and effects add tactile interest — subtle sand or plaster-like textures that catch light differently than flat paint. Used on a feature wall, they add depth without the commitment of panelling or Venetian plaster.
Getting it right
These finishes rely on technique — application method, layering and consistency create the effect, so they reward a skilled painter. Proper surface prep underneath is still essential, as with any quality paint job.
