Emulsion for Lime Plaster

Breathable Emulsion suitable for Lime Plaster

Choosing the correct emulsion for lime plaster is vital. Lime plaster is the most environmentally friendly way to plaster your home.  It is essential for older buildings to maintain the breathability of old walls and ensure the maximum flow of air through walls.  Lime plaster will help improve indoor air quality and prevent the build up of moulds or dampness in your walls.

Our natural emulsion is the perfect choice of paint to use on lime plaster.  Natural emulsion is more opaque than clay paint and so the coverage is better and the surface is more durable.  Our natural emulsion paint is free of any plastics, including microplastics and so it is not film forming which allows yours walls to breathe.  All new lime plaster should be primed with our natural Plaster Primer.

A superior quality, water based, natural paint which gives a luxury, chalky matt finish which will bring your walls alive.  The aesthetically low sheen expected from a premium paint combined with an unmatched depth of colour is simply achieved by using natural pigments and non plastic binders with no need for microbeads.

Lowest VOC level (0.07%) of any emulsion paint.  Because we make our paint free from any toxic chemicals or synthetic ingredients our wall emulsion is the most eco friendly emulsion wall paint on the market today.  Made only from natural ingredients which are all listed on the tin and described HERE.

You cannot copy our colours with Dulux spectrometers because it is impossible to replicate the combination of the effect of natural paint made from plant based binders when mixed with natural pigments.  You might get the colour close but trust us it will look totally different on the wall.

Our Natural Emulsion is:

  • Perfect for lime plaster and preferable for use in old houses.
  • Durable, quality paint with low sheen (2%) and matt finish.
  • Breathable – without a plastic binder our emulsion is 20 x more breathable than modern acrylic paint.
  • Low VOC level at les than 0.1gm/litre. No harmful VOCs so helps indoor air quality in your home.
  • Uniquely pigmented with natural earth and mineral pigments for an unrivaled depth of colour.  No azo dyes.
  • Applicable in two coats with excellent coverage.
  • Water based and made with only natural ingredients.
  • Toxin free, no nasty chemicals, so great for allergy sufferers.
  • Minimal if not no odour (smell is a very subjective thing!)
  • Wipeable and scuff resistant
  • Good for spraying
  • Quick drying
  • Easy to clean up after application
  • Available in our full range of 102 designer colours
  • Child and pet safe
  • Genuinely eco friendly, vegan and organic paint.

Deep, elegant panelling in our smoky grey blue, 'French Blue' paired perfectly with a floral wallpaper by @svenskttenn and @pookylights. ⁠ ⁠ Designed by interior designer Maria of @guiraodesign, she says 'work in progress! But so delighted with it I had to show you. I do love blue. I miss blue. More bright sky for all of us! More tranquil ponds! This French Blue by @edwardbulmerpaint and one the happiest wallpapers by @svenskttenn does it all.'⁠ ⁠ More bright blue skies indeed @guiraodesign 💙 - similar to our greys, @edward_bulmer has created all our blues with warmth and a deep richness in pigment so none are cold or flat. Cool, calm and carefully curated 🤍 The perfect way to welcome someone into your home is with a lovely space like this! @theaspeke has used our soft neutral 'Lilac Pink' ⁠on the walls which is the perfect shade to give this space life without overwhelming this serene scene. ⁠ ⁠ @theaspeke's beautiful home was recently featured in @houseandgardenuk⁠ if you want to see some more of this stylish home. ⁠ ⁠⁠ Sign up to our newsletter for 10% off your order, terms and conditions apply - hurry this is your last chance as offer ends 30th June 🎨⁠ ⁠ 📸@michaelsinclair ⁠ So nice we had to post it twice! This time with a sweet pair making this space even more picture perfect 🐾⁠ ⁠ We love this hall space painted in our 'Cinnamon'⁠ with interior design by @olivine_design. These warm walls are a sublime backdrop for colourful artwork and the use of natural fibres and foliage. ⁠ ⁠ Sign up to our newsletter to receive some serious hallway inspiration this weekend AND receive 10% off your order, hurry as this offer ends 30th June!⁠ 🎨⁠ 📸⁠@simonbrownphotography Grey is a paint colour which will never go out of fashion - they are far too useful. One rule, avoid them being over blue or black and they will always accommodate other colours and furnishings. @edward_bulmer has packed our greys full of natural pigment which prevents them from being flat or cold and you will find an unrivalled richness that can be paired with any colour on the chart. ⁠ ⁠ 'Paris Grey' on the walls and in all its grandeur at the magnificent @keythorpe_hall, an exclusive use English country house with a superb gastronomic experience based in Leicestershire. With 'Whiting' as the woodwork and ceiling colour - our universal, 'go-to' white. ⁠ ⁠ To read more, take a look at our stories with @inigo.house Almanac covering this beautiful private house with owners Barbara and Giles restoring it to life (and the stunning 2 acre walled garden!)⁠ ⁠ Sign up to our inspiration - link in bio, more on hallway ideas coming up this weekend... keep your eyes peeled! 👀⁠ ⁠ 📸by @simphotographyuk ⁠A wonderfully colourful and enchanting kitchen at @fionamckenziejohnston Victorian home in East Sussex @victorianwreckbythesea with our 'Drab Green' on the walls and cabinets.... spot the pink concrete countertops too! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠We particularly adore the decorative plates @fionamckenziejohnston found at a local auction, by @janechurchillinteriors. ⁠ ⁠ Traditional, classic and simply effortless.⁠ ⁠Is there a room in the picturesque Norfolk home of @carlosgarciainteriors we cannot imagine ourselves in? ⁠As ever, coveting every detail and superior layering of colour and pattern.⁠ This heavenly snug recently re-painted in our 'Milk White' which @edward_bulmer describes as 'perhaps not the bluest white that milk can sometimes be, but this shade has a lovely warm ‘maternal’ feel so hence the name!'⁠ ⁠Choosing the right off-white can be daunting so do see our website for advice on whites or email us for more help.
