Limewash Office Redesign
Commercial client · Elgin, Ottawa · Completed December 2025
Project overview
This small office had a heavy navy accent wall that absorbed all of the light and made the room feel narrow and cold. The client wanted a calm, textured backdrop for client meetings. We blocked the deep blue, applied a hand-worked limewash in a warm greige, and installed floating shelves to give the wall depth and function.
