Hawthorn Limewash Paint | Green Collection
Add unexpected depth and architectural interest to your home with the moody, sophisticated tone of Hawthorn.
Hawthorn is the definitive moody khaki, a colour that strikes a perfect balance between earthiness and refined design. This versatile shade is a designer favorite, known for its ability to pair seamlessly with cool greys or soft pinks to create a balanced, modern palette. While stunning indoors, Hawthorn truly shines as an exterior colour, where the natural light reveals its complex layers and organic character, allowing it to blend beautifully with surrounding greenery and natural materials.
As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Hawthorn is a mineral finish that creates a living, breathable surface. It avoids the flat, plastic look of standard paints, offering a matte, suede-like texture that provides a tactile soul to your walls.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?
Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental purity and the health of your home. When you choose Hawthorn, you are choosing a product that is:
Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and sustainable mineral pigments. Breathable: Supports a healthy building environment by allowing moisture to move freely through the surface. Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH levels of lime make the surface naturally resistant to mold and mildew. Unique Finish: Applied in thin, overlapping layers, it creates a handcrafted “cloud” effect with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls have a unique depth and movement.
Application & Coverage
To bring out the best in this moody khaki pigment, we recommend applying Hawthorn with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional application technique allows the pigments to layer naturally, highlighting the characteristic mottled finish of traditional limewash.
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 the depth of Hawthorn interacts with the specific light and shadows of your environment.

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.
