Not Only White Bathroom

A moody, sensory and sensual space by Not Only White x Joost van der Vecht banishes the stereotypical sterile look of a bathroom.

Bathrooms don't need to look sterile. Bring in some mood with the clever use of simple, eco-friendly materials and finish it with deep nurturing walls. This sensory bathroom was created by dutch bathroom designers, Not Only White, who design and curate bathroom products to create simple pleasures in life. Their collection is inviting to touch, as it should be in a bathroom. "A bathroom is a sensory and sensual space. A space where you feel at ease from the moment you step in," says Marike Andeweg, founder of Not Only White. "To refresh for just a few minutes or fully immerse and lose track of time."

In this multi-functional room, the contemporary basin by dutch designer Joost van der Vecht and egg-shaped tub reward the senses with a tactile soft-touch finish and visually pleasing soft lines. The bold, dark walls limewashed in Slate by Bauwerk give depth and a visual texture that contributes to the sensory feel to create a calming cocoon.

Our paints work really well in bathrooms due to the natural properties of lime. It's naturally antibacterial because it is highly alkaline, and it can also store and release humidity.

Tips for using Bauwerk Limewash in Bathrooms

Our paints work really well in bathrooms due to the natural properties of lime- it is naturally antibacterial because it is highly alkaline, and it can also store and release humidity.

Our paints will not blister or peel, not even in a steamy bathroom. Best of all our paints have natural anti-bacterial and anti-mould properties, all without any fungicides, biocides or formaldehyde.

The best surface for lime wash paints are rendered finishes. Even if you have a drywall or gyprock surface, you can give it a thin-coat render. Then apply two quick layers of Bauwerk Colour paint and you're done!

The paint can be used on all wall and ceiling areas, except for the inside area of a shower or the immediate area adjacent to a bath. Whilst our paint isn't waterproof, it is water-resistant.

Use adequate splashbacks, or give a quick repaint occasionally, as limewash paint is absorbent and may mark or stain in high-use areas.
