Description

Medlar Limewash Paint | Aesop Store Collection

Infuse your space with the muted, sophisticated warmth of Medlar.

Part of our exclusive Aesop Store Collection, Medlar is a light terracotta with a distinct “dirty” peachy-pink undertone. It is a nuanced, earthy hue that brings an immediate sense of tactile comfort and high-end design to any room. While it appears soft in the pot, the pink notes in this colour are known to “pop” once applied to the wall, creating a vibrant yet dusty glow that bridges the gap between orange and pink.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Medlar is a mineral finish that creates a living surface. Rather than a flat, plastic coating, it offers a breathable, matte texture that ages beautifully and reacts dynamically to the light.

The Colour Profile

Medlar is the perfect choice for those seeking a modern take on traditional terracotta and earth tones.

The Tone: A light, earthy terracotta with a dusty peachy-pink base.

The Mood: Sophisticated, warm, and artisanal.

The Comparison: If you find yourself wanting to lean further into the rose spectrum, Madder offers a pinker version. For a deeper, more saturated pink intensity, explore Caravane.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with conservation and modern health in mind. When you choose Medlar, you are choosing a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Formulated using natural lime and beautiful earth pigments.

Breathable: Allows moisture to move freely, promoting a healthier indoor environment.

Naturally Antibacterial: High pH levels make the surface naturally resistant to mold and mildew without harsh chemicals.

Unique Finish: The handcrafted application results in a suede-like texture that is entirely unique to your home, ensuring no two walls look exactly alike.

Application & Coverage

To achieve the best results with this earthy tone, we recommend applying Medlar with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, random “cloud” technique allows the peachy-pink pigments to layer naturally, creating the subtle tonal variations that define the Aesop aesthetic.

Tip: Limewash is best applied to absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or specialized lime-prep undercoats. Because Medlar’s pink undertones can intensify depending on the environment, we always recommend a patch test to see how the colour settles in your specific light.

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.
