Drift Limewash Paint | Hans Blomquist Collection

Bring the weathered, organic beauty of the shoreline into your home with Drift.

Created in an exclusive collaboration with renowned stylist and art director Hans Blomquist, Drift is the definitive modern neutral. This colour is inspired by the soft, silvery-beige tones of sun-bleached driftwood, capturing a sense of time, texture, and natural history. It offers a muted and sophisticated palette that works harmoniously in both minimalist and rustic interiors, providing a calm, grounded backdrop that feels effortlessly cool.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Drift is a mineral-based finish that offers more than just a coating. It creates a breathable, matte surface with a signature suede-like movement, allowing the walls to interact with light and shadow in a way that feels living and tactile.

The Colour Profile

Drift is a versatile neutral that acts as a bridge between warm beige and cool grey, making it adaptable to a wide range of interior styles.

The Tone: A soft, weathered neutral inspired by the silvery-beige of driftwood. The Mood: Calm, organic, and sophisticated. The Comparison: If you love the natural, earthy DNA of this hue but require more depth and intensity, Bali serves as a beautiful darker version.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to environmental purity and the health of your living space. Choosing Drift means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Produced using natural lime and earth-mined mineral pigments.
Breathable: Supports a healthy indoor climate by allowing moisture to move freely through the surface.
Naturally Antibacterial: The high pH of natural lime provides a built-in defense against mold and mildew.
Unique Finish: Each application results in a handcrafted look with natural tonal variations, ensuring your walls possess a depth and “cloud” effect that synthetic paints cannot achieve.

Application & Coverage

To highlight the subtle, weathered pigments of Drift, we recommend applying it with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush. Using a loose, multi-directional “cloud” technique allows the mineral layers to bloom, creating the soft, mottled finish characteristic of traditional limewash.

Tip: Limewash is intended for absorbent surfaces like brick, render, or surfaces prepared with a lime-compatible undercoat. We always recommend a patch test to see how the soft, neutral tones of Drift respond to the specific lighting and shadows of your 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.
