Sepia Limewash Paint | Out of Africa Collection

Transform your space with the soulful, sun-drenched warmth of Sepia.

Part of our celebrated ‘Out of Africa’ collection, Sepia is more than just a paint—it’s an invitation to bring the organic textures of the natural world into your home. This warm neutral tone captures the essence of ancient landscapes, offering a sophisticated, earthy depth that shifts beautifully with the changing light of the day.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Sepia isn’t a film that sits on top of your wall; it’s a breathable, mineral-based finish that bonds with the surface. The result is a stunning, matte, suede-like texture that feels alive and timeless.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

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

Environmentally Friendly: Made from natural lime and earth pigments.

Breathable: Allows moisture to escape, promoting a healthier indoor air quality.

Naturally Antibacterial: High pH levels make it naturally resistant to mold and mildew.

Unique Finish: Because it is applied in layers, no two walls look exactly alike—your space becomes a unique work of art.

Application & Coverage

For the best results, we recommend applying Sepia with a Bauwerk Limewash Brush using a loose, random “cloud” technique.

Tip: Limewash is best applied to absorbent surfaces like render, brick, or specialized lime-prep undercoats. Always perform a patch test to see how the pigment interacts with your specific lighting.

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.
