You've probably seen dozens of videos where limewash paint is applied with beautiful cross-patterned strokes, perfect lighting, and soft music in the background.
But have you ever noticed that you are shown more of the application than the final result?
And that's where it all comes down to.
Many tutorials are inspired by each other, without concrete experience on the ground or analyzed final rendering.
Result: pretty videos, yes.
But no real know-how is passed on.
You want something else.
You want a controlled result.
You want your wall to look as good in real life as it does in your Pinterest feed.
And you want every brushstroke to lead to a controlled, textured, and high-end effect.
This is exactly why we created this guide.
To give you the real pointers, and to prevent you from going around in circles between 12 videos that contradict each other.
In this e-book: The Art of Whitewashing: The Guide to a Natural, High-End Effect , you will discover:
• Our 3 golden rules that will make all the difference before you get started.
• How to choose the right shade for your space (and avoid dull or cool tones).
• The exact material to use for a uniform and elegant finish.
• Photos and inspirations to develop your critical eye and avoid an amateur result.

• Simple tips for a natural look… without a patchy or overly rustic effect.

Not at all. This guide was written to guide you step by step, without complicated jargon. It explains how to choose the right tools, prepare your wall, and, above all, avoid common mistakes.

Does this eBook replace video training?
The eBook is an ultra-comprehensive theoretical and strategic guide that provides you with the essential fundamentals, diagrams, examples of visual effects, mistakes to avoid, and practical advice. To see the moves in action, the video training remains the ideal complement.
What type of projects is limewash paint recommended for?
Limewash paint is ideal for decorative walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for high-traffic areas such as around hoods or fireplaces, where the use of a specific lime plaster is recommended.
Can I apply the paint to damp rooms, such as my bathroom walls?
Yes, it's possible, but it's important to protect the matte finish of the limewash paint with a suitable protective sealant. This helps preserve the surface and ensures better moisture resistance. Details are listed in the guide.
What if I make a mistake with the color or application?
This eBook helps you avoid common mistakes, particularly when choosing the right color and preparing the surface. You'll also find simple solutions for correcting or adjusting a poorly painted wall.
Can I use this guide if I have already purchased my lime paint elsewhere?
Yes, of course. The guide is universal: it applies regardless of the brand of paint used. However, you will also find specific information if you choose Domeco paint.
