How Much Does a DIY Limewash Wall Actually Cost? A Real Before & After

Sometimes, a single decision changes everything. When +My Nails salon in Riga decided to repaint their feature wall using KULTA limewash paint, the transformation was nothing short of stunning - not a full renovation, not months of construction, just one weekend, one wall, and the right product. The flat, forgettable surface became a rich, textured backdrop in a deep charcoal tone that now anchors the entire space and makes the gold lettering absolutely sing. This is the power of limewash: it doesn't just colour a wall, it gives it depth, personality, and a sense of history.

The process is simpler than most people expect. On surfaces like plasterboard, polymer putty, or acrylic-painted walls, the first step is applying KULTA Grip Coat - a high-adhesion primer that ensures the limewash bonds properly and delivers that signature velvety texture without peeling or patching.

Then comes the limewash itself, applied with confident, overlapping brushstrokes in two coats using the KULTA Essential Paint Brush. No specialist equipment, no contractor required - just a quality brush, a steady hand, and a little patience. Of course, having a professional painter is always a great option, but sometimes you simply want to get it done on your own timeline, without waiting for someone's schedule to free up. The result is the kind of wall that stops people in their tracks and makes them ask: who did this?

For under €175 in materials, you can achieve a transformation that feels custom, considered, and entirely professional. For a 20 m² wall, you'll need 1 × 4.5 L KULTA Grip Coat (€75), 1 × 4.5 L KULTA Limewash Paint covering two full coats (€83), and a KULTA Essential Paint Brush 4×14 (€16.50) - a total of around €174.50. Whether you're refreshing a living room, a studio, or a commercial space, KULTA's ready-to-use, environmentally friendly formula made with natural lime, linseed oil, and mineral pigments does the heavy lifting.

Choose your colour, pick up a brush, and start the wall that changes the room!
