Looking to add warmth, texture, and a handcrafted look to your walls? Limewash is the ideal choice for both modern homes and period properties. It creates subtle, tonal variation and a velvety matte finish you simply won’t get from standard paints.
Newline Painting provides limewash finishes across Melbourne, applied by hand, with expert preparation and attention to detail. Whether you’re after a heritage-style exterior or a calming interior feature wall, we’ll deliver a look that’s both beautiful and breathable.
Limewash Painting You Can Rely On
Limewash painting isn’t just about choosing a trendy finish; it requires the right tools, prep, and craftsmanship to get the look right. At Newline Painting, our limewash specialists have hands-on experience applying breathable, mineral-based finishes on a variety of surfaces.
From uneven render to raw brick, we know how to work with textured materials, ensure proper absorption, and layer the coats to achieve a soft, tonal result, without streaks or patchiness.
Every limewash project is managed by fully qualified painters who understand the unique behaviour of lime-based coatings. We don’t rush, and we don’t treat it like regular paint because it isn’t.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply limewash over existing paint?
Only if the surface is properly prepared. Most modern paints are non-breathable, so we’ll need to sand, remove, or prime with a mineral-based product before applying limewash.
How is limewash different from regular paint?
Limewash is mineral-based, breathable, and absorbs into the surface, unlike acrylics that form a skin. It creates a soft, textured finish with natural tonal variation.
Can I choose any colour for limewash?
Yes, but limewash colours are naturally soft and muted. We offer colour-matched tones from Bauwerk, Porter's Paints and other mineral-based ranges.
What surfaces can be limewashed?
Limewash works best on bare masonry, render, brick, and lime-based plaster. We also prep painted surfaces to ensure compatibility where possible.
Is limewash suitable for bathrooms or wet areas?
Not directly — limewash is breathable but not waterproof. However, we can seal it with breathable finishes if you’re using it in low-splash areas.
Does limewash need maintenance?
It weathers gently over time. Interior limewash typically doesn’t need retouching unless physically damaged. Exteriors may need reapplication every 7–10 years depending on exposure.
Is limewash eco-friendly?
Yes — it’s VOC-free, naturally antibacterial, and made from aged limestone. Ideal for people wanting a natural, toxin-free finish.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Our limewash application is backed by a 7-year workmanship guarantee for interior and protected exterior surfaces.
Craftsmanship and Aftercare You Can Trust
Limewash is only as good as the hands that apply it which is why we work exclusively with experienced limewash painters who understand the prep, product, and layering techniques required for a long-lasting, even finish.
We don’t rush projects or treat limewash like regular paint. Our process includes thorough surface preparation, breathable primers (if required), and layered hand-brushed application to build the natural tonal variation limewash is known for.
To complete the service, we also offer an optional post-paint clean through our partner, Calibre Cleaning. This ensures that once your walls are refreshed, the rest of your space is spotless too.

What to Know Before Limewashing Your Home
Limewash isn’t just a design trend it’s a technique that requires the right preparation, products, and aftercare to look and perform at its best. Before starting a limewash project, it’s important to understand whether your wall surface is suitable and how the finish will age over time.
Our limewash specialists will assess your surface condition, existing coatings, and light exposure to make sure limewash is a good fit. Surfaces that are highly glossy, previously painted with acrylic, or prone to constant moisture may need extra prep — or may not be ideal candidates at all.
It’s also worth thinking about the long-term look. Limewash naturally develops character with age, meaning it may fade or change tone slightly over the years. That’s part of its charm, but it also means it’s best suited to people who appreciate subtle variation rather than flat perfection.
If you’re after a soft, breathable, and tactile finish that enhances your walls with natural depth, limewash might be the perfect solution, but it works best when done properly, from prep to final coat.
