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
- With the Select tool (V), click inside a room.
- 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.
- Under Wall paint, pick a colour, or use Custom beside the label to choose any colour. Every wall face inside the room is painted.
- 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.
- 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.
