Limewash

SOFT. BREATHABLE. TIMELESS.

Bring walls to life with limewash

Limewash is our soft matte finish for interior and exterior walls — a centuries-old mineral coating reimagined for tropical climates. Breathable by nature, it lets walls stay dry and calm even in Bali’s humidity, while giving every surface a handmade, living texture.

Our Projects

Soft, breathable surfaces require a clear system for texture, tone, and the tropical world

Altarize’s limewash is made from natural lime and mineral pigments, applied in thin layers that let light move across the surface differently throughout the day — no two walls ever look quite the same.

TAILORED FOR YOUR WALLS

We create breathable, living finishes

Naturally breathable

Limewash allows walls to breathe, letting moisture pass through rather than trap it. In Bali’s humidity, this means fewer issues with mold, peeling, or dampness compared to conventional acrylic paints — a finish that works with the climate, not against it.

Handmade depth and character

Applied by hand in soft, layered strokes, our limewash creates a subtle depth and cloud-like texture that flat paint can’t replicate. Each wall develops its own quiet character, shaped by light, application technique, and time.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our limewash finish, application process, and performance in tropical conditions.

Yes. Limewash performs well both indoors and outdoors, and its breathable nature makes it especially suited for exterior façades exposed to Bali's heat and humidity.

Regular paint sits on top of the surface and can trap moisture underneath. Limewash bonds mineralogically with the wall and stays breathable, which helps prevent peeling and supports a healthier, drier surface over time.

Limewash is low-maintenance and ages gracefully, often developing more character over time. Occasional recoating may be recommended for high-exposure exterior areas, which our team can advise on during a site visit.

Limewash can be tinted with natural mineral pigments to achieve a range of soft, earthy tones, and the texture can be adjusted from smooth to more cloud-like depending on application technique and your design preference.
