Wall finishes, ceilings and skirting

Beyond paint, walls can have panelling: Wainscot panelling, Timber slats or Tiles, each with its own colour and height. Each room also has a ceiling colour and a skirting board setting.

Steps

1. To panel a whole room, select the room. Under Wall panelling, choose a style, pick a colour and type a Height. Panelling stops at doors and below window sills.
2. To panel one wall, select the wall. Under Panelling, set Side A or Side B. Choose None (paint only) to remove it.
3. To change the ceiling, select a room and pick a Ceiling colour under Ceiling and skirting. Options run from warm and brilliant white to linen, pale sage, mist blue, clay and charcoal.
4. Use the Skirting boards switch in the same section to turn skirting on or off for that room.

Tips and limits

• Default heights are about 1 m for wainscot, 1.2 m for tiles and full height for timber slats. The height cannot exceed the wall.
• Timber slats offer wood tones as well as paint colours.
• Ceilings show in walk mode, tours and 360° panoramas, not in the top-down views. Check them with Walk in the 3D view.
• Turn skirting off in tiled rooms such as bathrooms, where it is not usually fitted.
• Skirting length is included in the Walls & trim section of the bill of materials.
• The drawings set includes an interior elevation of every wall.
