Limewashed brick houses have a unique charm that combines rustic appeal with timeless elegance. When paired with a pool and a styled patio, this aesthetic becomes a haven of relaxation and beauty. Let’s delve into the design benefits created by pairing Romabio Classico Limewash or Masonry Flat with ready-for-summer backyards, along with some inspiring transformations for you to browse through.

Follow @RomabioPaints on Instagram for more inspiration.

Design Benefits of Limewashed Brick 

Aesthetic Appeal: Using Classico Limewash gives brick a soft, historic look that blends seamlessly with various architectural styles, from traditional to modern. The muted tones of limewash and our full coverage masonry paint, Masonry Flat, can enhance the natural beauty of brick, providing a soothing and sophisticated backdrop for outdoor living spaces. 

Breathability and Protection: Unlike paint, limewash is a breathable coating, allowing moisture to escape from the brick. This reduces the risk of trapped moisture, which can cause damage over time. Classico Limewash is made from authentic slaked lime, offering a beautiful and durable choice for exterior brick surfaces without chipping or peeling. Adding one coat of Romabio Mineral Shield adds an additional layer of protection to your beautiful finish. 

Eco-Friendly: Classico Limewash is made from natural materials, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is biodegradable, non-toxic, and requires no harmful biocides that are often used in ‘regular paint’, ensuring a safe environment for both residents and the surrounding ecosystem. 

4 Inspiring Limewashed Backyard Transformations 
Whether you’re planning a renovation or simply seeking some Romabio inspiration, these transformations featuring Romabio products highlight the beauty and potential of limewashed backyards. 

#1. Dream Pool and Hot Tub Reveal: Studio McGee Home 
When Shea McGee, designer and founder of Studio McGee, designed and built her dream home in Utah a few years ago, it was no surprise that she wanted the chalky, flat look Romabio Classico Limewash is famous for. But for a modern upgrade with full coverage, she opted for Romabio Masonry Flat on her exterior brick. Then, when she was ready to design and install her dream pool and hot tub area, she chose to keep her design cohesive  by bricking the exterior of her hot tub and using Romabio on the hot tub brick, which compliments the Italian limestone used around the pool. As with every amazing design project, Shea documented her backyard design details in a blog post.

#2. Limewash Brick + The Best Backyard Luxury for Less: Bless’er House 
We’ve worked with Lauren and Robert Shaver of the South Carolina-based Bless’er House blog for almost a decade and have loved being part of both interior and exterior home design projects with them. Their exterior limewash was one of the first ever Classico Limewash collaborations. Recently, Lauren wrote a blog about affordable backyard patio furniture that creates a luxurious poolside oasis, so it’s no surprise it made our top backyard transformations we’re featuring. Follow Lauren for more inspiration.

#3. Poolside Perfection: Limewashed Fireplace and Lounge Area by Elaine Citro Home 
Elaine Citro knows about designing with limewash and mineral paints. When she and her husband built their dream farmhouse in North Carolina, she incorporated Classico Limewash on both her exterior and interior fireplaces, and Romabio Masonry Flat on her exterior brick. The famous, flat and chalky European look of Romabio masonry paints, paired with her beautiful pool and eye for all matter of design details, have conjured the most peaceful and inviting farmhouse oasis we’ve ever seen. Follow Elaine for more inspiration.
