[Interior of Luxury Homes] Mastery of Wall Color and Wall Finish Determining the Impression of Space

In the interior of luxury homes, walls are not just backgrounds.
It is the design of a "surface" that complements furniture and art, adjusts the quality of light, and even influences the atmosphere.

Even with the same layout, just by changing the wall color and finish,

• Expanse of space
• Calmness
• Cleanliness
• Beauty of blank space

change greatly.
The important thing is to decide "what kind of atmosphere you want to create" before choosing colors. If you assemble wall colors and finishes from there, failures will decrease.

Recommended wall colors by space

Each space in a home has a role, and the required impression differs.
Since wall color is directly connected to mood and flow line, it is basic to think for each space.

Living Room: Warm colors / Neutral to organize gathering

The living room is a place where people gather for a long time, receiving conversation and relaxation.
Recommended are colors with suppressed saturation among warm colors.

• Elegant beige
• Greige
• Off-white with a slight reddish tint

The wider the space, the higher quality it looks if the color is pale.
When using dark colors, the trick is to narrow down the area as an accent rather than the whole wall.

Kitchen: Improve quality with shadows centered on cleanliness

The kitchen has a lot of light reflection and is also a place where dirt is a concern.
Basically, bright neutrals such as white, ivory, and pale gray have good compatibility.

• White: Cleanliness, lightness
• Ivory: Warmth, softness
• Pale gray: Calmness, urban

Looking at compatibility with the texture of hardware and countertops (stainless steel, stone, wood), deciding the wall color will unite the whole.

Bedroom: Cold colors / Low saturation creating silence

For bedrooms, colors that reduce visual information and calm feelings are suitable.

• Dull blue
• Sage green
• Gray lavender
• Deep greige

The point is "not to make it vivid".
If summarized in low saturation, the atmosphere when dimming the lighting will be adjusted.

Entrance: First impression is "Design of Light and Dark" rather than color

The entrance is the face of the residence, and the appearance changes greatly depending on how external light enters.
Recommended is to carefully adjust lightness and darkness in the range of white to earth colors to monotone.

• Bright wall + Tighten floor (stone / tile / wood)
• Drop the wall a little and bring out solidity with lighting

Rather than increasing the number of colors, creating an impression with materials and shadows gives a sense of luxury.

Wall finish enhancing space value: Types and Features

In luxury homes, it is the finishing material that determines "how light rides" as well as "color".
Even with the same white, the appearance is completely different between wallpaper, paint, and plastering.

Wallpaper: Ease and reproducibility are strengths

Wallpaper has abundant designs, high workability, and good cost balance.
However, in luxury homes, since seams and textures may be easy to see depending on how light hits, material selection is important.

• Elegant with fabric tone or matte texture
• Caution on area and furniture arrangement for large patterns

Paint: Compatible with freedom of color and uniformity

Paint has high color reproducibility and is suitable when you want to show the wall beautifully as a "surface".
On the other hand, since the finish is determined by the accuracy of substrate treatment, process management is the key point.

• Matte: Calmness, soft shadows
• Semi-gloss: Gives dignity by reflection, but unevenness is easy to stand out

Plaster Finish: Raising rank with texture and shadows

In plaster finish, the fluctuation of handwork becomes beauty as it is.
The direction of expression is determined by the selection of materials such as plaster, diatomaceous earth, and Italian plaster.

• Flat: Quiet high quality
• Rough: Material feeling and warmth
• Trowel marks: Air is born by shadows

What is required in luxury homes is not gaudiness, but shadows that rise naturally when light hits.

Tile: Effective not only for water areas but also for accents

Tiles can achieve both durability and design.
Using it not only for water areas but also for entrances and parts of walls adjusts the center of gravity of the space.

• Impression changes with joint color and width
• Think as a set with lighting plan

Wood: Material creating temperature feeling

Wood has warmth both visually and tactilely, raising the comfort of the space.
However, as the amount of wood increases, the space becomes heavy, so partial use of walls or point use is effective.

Practical tips when deciding wall color and finish

• First, base on the color of "floor, ceiling, fittings"
• Check wall color in "day" and "night"
• Choose finish by "how lighting hits"
• If lost, differentiate by texture without increasing the number of colors

In luxury homes, the space becomes elegant if you don't talk too much with colors.
That's why the selection of finishing materials works.
