Floors, walls and ceilings
Give each room its floor, walls and ceiling: herringbone parquet, tiles, wallpaper, panelling and paint, and one wall that stands out.

How to do it
Select a room. Under Surfaces in the panel on the right, pick the floor, the walls and the ceiling from small pictures.
For the floor, choose the wood or the colour, the pattern, the plank width or tile size and the direction.
For tiled walls, set “Tiles up to” a height and the paint above – or choose wallpaper or panelling.
To make one wall different, select the wall: each face has its own surface, named after the room it faces. “As the rest of the room” takes it back.
See it in 3D, and turn the light hatch of the floors in the plan on or off under “Floor finishes” in the Display menu. On the drawings it is on in the Presentation preset.
Good to know
- Floors: parquet in planks, three-strip, herringbone or chevron in nine woods, wide boards, laminate, vinyl, tiles, natural stone, concrete and carpet. Ceilings: paint, panelling or ceiling tiles. Dormers and a flared eave (kinavipp) take the room’s own ceiling.
- In 3D the textures have their real size. Tiles, stone, ceiling tiles and wet-room panels are laid from a corner or centred (“centre the tiles on the bathroom floor”), and tiles stop at their height.
- In a kitchen, tiles can be a backsplash: a band from a height, such as 0.9 to 1.5 m, on the whole wall or along the counter. In a bathroom, pick wet-room panels with a tile look, a stone look or plain, 60 × 240, 60 × 300 or 120 × 240 cm. Or ask the assistant: “tiles over the kitchen counter, from 90 to 150 cm”, “stone-look wet-room panels in the bathroom”.
- The material list counts the floors and walls by what covers them, with sloping ceilings at their true size.
Questions and answers
Can I see the tiles before I buy them?
You see the size, the pattern and the colours, laid at their real size in 3D – not the exact product. Use it to compare layouts and to count how many you need.
Can one wall have wallpaper and the others paint?
Yes. Select the wall and give its face towards the room the wallpaper; the rest of the room keeps its paint. The assistant can do it too: “striped wallpaper on the wall behind the bed”.
How many wet-room panels do I need?
The material list counts them in whole panels, with the m² beside them. As a tiler would, the app puts no skirting in front of tiles and panels and carries them round into the window reveals, and the list counts the reveals too.
