Give free rein to your imaginationItalian decorative paints

Our Italian Lime Paint (also known as whitewash or limewash) can be applied both on interior and exterior walls.

Our Italian lime paint is partially washable, however, to make it completely washable, one coat of Marseille Soap or of Hydrocalce is required.

Not all are washable, but most of them are. Specifically, the following decorative paints are completely washable: SuperNova, Liquid Metal and Dune Suede. Other paints, like Nappa, need a protective treatment – such as Stucco Italiano’s Soft Touch – to become washable.

Most of the decorative paints can be applied exclusively to interior walls. However, some, such Lime Paint, can be applied also to exteriors.

Whitewash lime paint is a type of paint made from slaked lime. Contrarily to modern acrylic paints, whitewash lime paint is highly breathable, naturally antimould and mildly antibacterial. Furthermore, Whitewash lime paint relies on being drawn into a substrate, unlike a modern paint that adheres to the surface, creating a film. Limewash does not create a film, but becomes one with the underlying wall.
