Linen Limewash Paint | Out of Africa Collection

Bring a soft, airier warmth to your interiors with Linen.

As part of our ‘Out of Africa’ collection, Linen is a gentle, warm neutral designed to evoke the lightness of natural fibers and vast, open horizons. It provides a luminous backdrop that softens the light in any room, offering an organic elegance that feels both modern and deeply rooted in nature.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Linen is not a standard paint; it is a mineral finish that creates a living surface. It breathes with your walls, resulting in a unique, matte, suede-like texture that adds tactile depth to your home.

The Colour Profile

Linen serves as the perfect light-toned anchor within our earthy palette, ideal for creating a sense of space and calm.

The Tone: A light, breezy neutral with a soft, sun-bleached warmth.

The Mood: Uplifting, clean, and effortlessly sophisticated.

The Comparison: If you love this palette but want more depth, Sepia is the next step up. For even richer, sun-baked tones, explore Caramel or the earthier, weathered feel of Savannah.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our limewash paints are crafted with nature and health at the forefront. Choosing Linen means choosing a product that is:

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

Breathable: Promotes a healthy indoor climate by allowing moisture to move through the surface.

Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of the lime makes it naturally resistant to mold.

Artistic Depth: Applied in thin layers, it creates a visual movement and “cloud” effect that standard flat paints cannot replicate.

Application & Coverage

To achieve the signature Bauwerk look, we recommend applying Linen with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Use a free-form, random stroke pattern to allow the natural pigments to layer and bloom.

Tip: Limewash performs best on absorbent surfaces such as render, brick, or our specific lime-prep undercoats. We always suggest a patch test to see how Linen responds to the unique light in your specific environment.

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.
