Dramatic textures in neutrals have always been a JH client favorite which is why we developed the tone on tone application for our light neutrals to increase the mottling and texture by using two different shades.  The result is the highs and lows / tonal variations of two colors.  Many of our clients seeking a boho design choose light neutrals and layer two different Lime Wall Paint shades.

While dramatic texture getting warm moody textures is hot right now so is a clean and light lime paint for textured modern spaces, both residential and commercial, in our subtle JH whites.

A hot new trend in home improvement is to lime wash brick. Brick fireplaces, brick walls, exterior brick...basically anything that has brick on it to make it white and clean and bright. Another popular trend is doing a German Shmear.  Both of these techniques can be done beautifully using Lime Wall Paint.

The main difference between lime paint and lime wash is the level of viscosity or thickness of the paint. 

JH lime paint is used with aged slaked lime.  This is the ingredient used in lime plaster.  JH ages our authentic slaked lime for at least 3 years.  This is important because lime is the main ingredient to create the mottled texture and dimension on the surfaces.  If the lime is of lower quality the mottling may not be as apparent and the surfaces may not have the distinct glow and luminescence that is found in a high quality mineral lime paint.  

Most of our clients want to lime wash their entire interior space whether it's residential or commercial.  They want to choose a neutral lime wash color and then maybe add some lime wash colors to powder rooms, bedrooms, offices, etc.  

We developed a JH lime wash technique that will add the dimension and texture similar to the aesthetic of a lime plastered space.

The technique is called a JH Tone on Tone for light neutrals.   It is where you take a darker neutral as the base coat and then apply a contrasting lighter neutral on top.
