Floors and paint

Choose a floor finish for each room, paint a whole room at once or one side of a single wall, and set the default wall colour.

Floors are set per room. Paint can be set for a whole room in one click, or for each side of a single wall, so you can paint an accent wall or give each side of a partition its own colour. There are 17 floor finishes and 19 paint colours, and you can pick any other colour with Custom.

Steps

  1. With the Select tool (V), click inside a room.
  2. Under Flooring, pick a finish: oak, ash, walnut or parquet; porcelain, grey, zellige or checkerboard tile; Carrara marble, travertine or terrazzo; polished concrete; oat or graphite carpet; or, for outdoor spaces, timber decking, stone pavers or lawn.
  3. Under Wall paint, pick a colour, or use Custom beside the label to choose any colour. Every wall face inside the room is painted.
  4. To paint one wall, click the wall instead. Under Paint, pick a colour (or Custom) for Side A or Side B. The other side keeps its colour.
  5. To set the colour for walls you have not painted, click empty space so nothing is selected, then pick under Default wall colour in Light & atmosphere.
