Description

Witch Hazel Limewash Paint | Neutral Collection

Introduce a breath of airy, modern serenity to your home with Witch Hazel.

Witch Hazel is a cool, soft natural greige that perfectly captures a contemporary, mineral aesthetic. This sophisticated shade is designed for those who appreciate a neutral with a crisp, clean edge. It is a highly light-responsive colour; be prepared for it to appear noticeably greyer once applied to the wall than it does on the Colour Card. This shifting quality makes it an exceptional choice for bright, open spaces where you want to achieve a calm, architectural atmosphere.

As a Bauwerk Colour Limewash, Witch Hazel is a mineral-based finish that becomes a part of your wall. It creates a breathable, matte surface with a subtle suede-like texture, providing a visual depth and tactile soul that synthetic paints simply cannot replicate.

The Colour Profile

Witch Hazel is the ideal choice for a neutral palette that feels refreshing, clean, and structurally defined.

The Tone: A cool, soft greige with crisp mineral undertones. The Mood: Airy, modern, and serene. The Comparison: If you love this aesthetic but require more warmth and depth, Beech is a darker version, while Oak offers even more intensity. For those seeking an even crisper, more blue-toned neutral, Silversky serves as a beautiful cooler alternative.

Why Choose Bauwerk Limewash?

Our paints are crafted with a commitment to both environmental purity and the longevity of your home. Choosing Witch Hazel means selecting a product that is:

Environmentally Friendly: Formulated using natural lime and earth-mined mineral pigments.
Breathable: Promotes 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 unique character and movement.

Application & Coverage

To bring out the cool, architectural pigments of Witch Hazel, 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. Because Witch Hazel can intensify its grey tones depending on the light, we always recommend a patch test to see how the colour settles 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.
