River Limewash Paint | Hans Blomquist Collection

Immerse your space in the deep, atmospheric calm of River.

Developed in an exclusive collaboration with renowned stylist and art director Hans Blomquist, River is a sophisticated mid-toned blue that captures the moody, ever-changing essence of moving water. This colour is part of a palette designed to bring a sense of history, soul, and nature into the modern home. It offers a muted yet powerful presence, providing a cool, contemplative backdrop that pairs perfectly with natural textures and weathered materials.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, River is a mineral-based finish that becomes part of the wall itself. It creates a breathable, matte surface with a signature suede-like texture, allowing for a natural play of light and shadow that gives the colour a living, tactile depth.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental purity and aesthetic excellence. When you choose River, you are choosing a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments. Breathable: Promotes a healthy indoor environment by allowing moisture to move freely through the walls. Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH levels of lime make the surface naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unique Finish: Applied in thin layers, it creates a subtle “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a handcrafted character.

Application & Coverage

To achieve the best results with this evocative blue, we recommend applying River with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional application allows the deep blue pigments to layer naturally, highlighting the movement and depth intended by Hans Blomquist.

Tip: Limewash is best suited for absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or surfaces prepared with a specialized lime-prep undercoat. We always recommend a patch test to see how River interacts with the unique lighting conditions and shadows of your specific room.

Benefits

The benefits of a paint made exclusively from minerals + natural pigments

BAUWERK Colour Lime Wash Paints are purely mineral based. They are manufactured from calcium carbonate, the same material sea shells are made from. When you paint with it the only chemical reaction that takes place is the absorption of atmospheric CO2 to convert the lime paint back to lime stone.

We colour our Limewash with natural pigments, this makes our colours completely different, as when light hits the wall the colours look like no other.

You can safely paint your home without any fear of breathing in fumes that are harmful to you or your children. We make the paint without solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOC). Because of that, Bauwerk Lime Paint is fire proof.

The paint can be used inside or outside, even in high humidity environments, such as bathrooms. It is not film-forming, like a plastic paint; it allows walls to breathe and be part of your micro-climate inside your home.

We don't use biocides or other preservatives; our lime wash has natural anti-bacterial properties. Enjoy the emotional depth and the play of light on our colours—they react dynamically to changing light conditions.
