Commercial limewash in the Meatpacking District, Manhattan is a specialty of Chelsea Limewash Co., in a neighborhood of converted market and warehouse buildings full of boutiques and restaurants. We apply limewash and lime plaster to retail and hospitality interiors that want texture and warmth on a large, expressive scale. Limewash cures by carbonation into calcium carbonate, giving a breathable, matte depth that photographs beautifully in a designed space. From a boutique feature wall to a full restaurant fit-out, our crews finish by hand.
The Meatpacking District is built on converted market and warehouse buildings, now filled with boutiques and restaurants along its cobblestone streets. Those big-volume commercial interiors give lime finishes the scale and drama they show best on. The neighborhood's design-driven retail and hospitality scene makes a hand-applied, textured mineral finish a natural fit over flat commercial paint.
Boutiques and restaurants in the Meatpacking District trade on atmosphere, and a hand-applied lime finish delivers depth that flat paint cannot. Limewash and lime plaster give walls a textured, cloudy matte that reads as crafted and warm on camera and in person. We tailor the finish to the brand and the lighting of the space.
The converted market and warehouse buildings here have big, high-walled interiors that suit the sweep of a troweled or brushed lime finish. On exposed masonry the limewash keys straight in; on drywall we prime with a mineral bonding coat so plaster finishes bond. Either way the finish carries cleanly across large commercial walls.
Commercial fit-outs run on tight timelines with other trades on site, so coordination matters as much as craft. We schedule our coats around the build-out, work in stages as the lime cures, and keep the site clean. The goal is a finished, on-brand interior delivered without holding up the opening.
We also finish walls in nearby Hudson Yards. Call Chelsea Limewash Co. at (646) 828-5798 for limewash & mineral paint finishes across Manhattan.
