Guide

Start with sightlines

Walk to the places you enter each room and note which wall you see first. That wall usually carries the most visual weight, so it is the natural candidate.

Avoid walls that are broken by several windows or doors unless the plane can absorb them.

Match scale to the room

A narrow hall wants shallow, quiet relief. A tall great room can handle a wide rhythm. A bedroom headboard wall should relate to the bed and ceiling line.
