The choice of bright white cabinets in this kitchen is smart, as it helps to make the stunning limewash paint stand out. Since this paint gives a subtle texture, it’s good to choose design elements that highlight it, like the example here.

A large window and a skylight help this modern kitchen bathe in waves of natural light that highlight the limewashed walls. If you have textured walls, one of the best ways to highlight them is with lots of light, like the kitchen here.

A large potted plant adds a bit of greenery and the wall shelf topped with miscellaneous decor breathes life into this already charming room.
If you don’t need a lot of storage or if your lower cabinets provide plenty, consider skipping the upper cabinets and opting for a simple, limewashed wall instead. This kitchen still has a decent-sized shelf for storing mugs and dishware, but it also allows the textured walls to shine.
Whatever layout or design format you choose, make sure you select a limewash paint color that reflects the vibe you want your house to exude.
