At the Patina Factory, we believe walls are more than just surfaces: they are canvases that tell stories about who we are and what we value. Our lime wash paints embody this philosophy, combining health, sustainability and timeless beauty.

The company was born from a passion for design and the evocative textures of patina, bridging the gap between centuries-old traditions and modern interiors. Our handcrafted powdered lime wash paints honour history while embracing innovation.

Christine Hansen is the creative force behind the Patina Factory. A professional historian and museum curator, she has a deep understanding of how materials shape stories. Her fascination with lime-based paints began during an academic posting in Sweden, where for almost a decade she immersed herself in Scandinavian design and the tradition of using natural materials to enhance light and texture in interiors. At the Patina Factory, Christine brings together the precision of a researcher, the trained eye of a curator, and the soul of a storyteller. She sees lime paint not just as a medium for creating beautiful spaces, but as a bridge to a healthier, more sustainable way of living. With a focus on natural ingredients and eco-friendly practices, her work empowers others to create spaces that nurture both the soul and the planet.
