A finishing studio, working by hand.

Limewall & Co. is a New York–based finishing studio specializing in limewash and luxury interior painting. We work with homeowners and interior designers across New York and the tri-state area to bring softness, dimension, and natural character to walls — using time-honored, mineral-based materials applied by hand.

Every project is led personally, every wall is approached individually, and every finish is considered in the light and context of the specific space. We choose limewash because it breathes, it’s non-toxic, and it gets better with time.

“Less, made better.”

Detail of hand-applied limewash

Limewash transforms a room without adding a single object to it.

Why limewash

One of the oldest wall finishes in the world — and one of the most quietly luxurious.

Made from slaked lime and natural mineral pigments, it’s applied in thin, hand-brushed coats that build into a finish with real depth and subtle variation. Unlike conventional paint, limewash doesn’t sit flat on a wall — it settles into a soft, cloud-like surface that shifts with the light throughout the day. The result is a room that feels warmer, more dimensional, and more alive, without a single piece of additional decor.

It’s also genuinely good for the home: low-VOC, non-toxic, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial. For families, for renovations, for anyone who’d rather not introduce more chemistry into their walls — it’s a finish that does more with less.

Words from clients
What we do
01

Limewash Painting

A breathable, mineral-based finish that adds soft texture, color depth, and quiet movement to a wall. Applied by hand in multiple coats using premium materials from Vasari, Color Atelier, and other artisan brands.

02

Interior Painting

Precise, durable interior painting for homes that deserve a careful hand. We prep thoroughly, prime correctly, and finish cleanly — the difference shows in the details.

03

Cabinetry & Trim

Brushwork on cabinets, trim, doors, and built-ins — in standard paint or hand-applied limewash.

How we work
01

Consultation

We start with a conversation about the space, the light, the look you’re after, and how the room is actually used.

02

Samples & color

We bring sample boards to your home, test colors against your light and finishes, and help you land on the right palette.

03

Preparation

We assess what’s on the walls, fill cracks and imperfections, and prime properly so the finish performs.

04

Application

Two hand-applied coats with proper dry time between. A standard room typically takes two days.

05

Walkthrough

We walk the finished space with you and back our work with a written warranty per our client agreement.
