The lime finish for interiors is a great timeless classic, a traditional decoration for wall coverings that never goes out of fashion and that offers interior creatives a versatile aesthetic solution suitable for any style, creating a link with history and the natural environment. High-performance, natural, porous, and extremely elegant, lime finishes indeed not only boast a millenary tradition (they were used by the Romans and Phoenicians!), but they are also breathable solutions that regulate humidity and improve environmental comfort, making vertical surfaces particularly healthy. They are composed of limestone cooked at high temperatures and then crumbled, marble powder, and sand.
From smooth and velvety surfaces to more artisanal and rough ones, lime-based plasters are also easy to work with and offer a wide range of aesthetic options that exude warmth, authenticity, and character; this is why they are also widely used in historical buildings, during restorations, and in particularly prestigious constructions, as well as in contemporary decoration.
The palette of available colours – soft and dusty – is rich and sophisticated and lets you play with interesting contrasts or refined tone-on-tone solutions, making the lime finish for interiors a proper interior design element. The result is a vibrant material covering full of animated shadows, typical of ancient workmanship. Finally, the pastiness of the material lends itself to creating three-dimensional effects and more elaborate details using several tools.
