Whitewashing is covering with a very thin coat of plaster made with water, lime and other ingredients. Whitewashed walls are extremely popular today, they bring a relaxed feel to the space and fit many decor styles, from shabby chic to coastal. Let’s take a look at some ideas, maybe you’ll want some whitewashing for your own home.

Wood

Whitewashed wood walls are a great idea for many spaces and can even fit a minimalist one. Wood brings warmth and coziness and whitewashing makes a great neutral yet textural backdrop in your room. You may play with shades – go pure white, grey, off-white or some other shades to fit your space perfectly. Combine whitewashed wood with brick or stone to get even more texture for your space and enliven it with colorful furniture or go pastels for a tender look. a rustic bathroom done with whitewashed pine walls with knots looks very inviting and relaxed

Brick

Brick walls are perhaps the most popular idea now, they are amazing for any space, whether you go for only one accent wall or for all of them clad with brick – a nice look is guaranteed. There are different shades of brick to fit various spaces, and even if you don’t have brick walls, you may go for some faux brick, which is extremely easy to apply. Whitewash your brick for a softer look, it will look great with any shade of brick, from red to neutral. If these are ready brick panels, they come in white, so you won’t need any more work. Brick will add texture to the space while being neutral enough to blend it with bold and eye-catchy decor. a whitewashed brick backsplash is a cool and chic idea to add texture to your kitchen
