How to choose a POP wall design
- Choose one wall. POP detail on every wall can feel busy.
- Match the style. Frames and cornices suit classic rooms; grooves and geometric shapes suit modern rooms.
- Paint matters. Same-colour painting looks elegant; contrast highlights the detail.
- Check for damp. POP on damp walls will flake. Treat seepage first.
- Add light. Grazing light from above or below brings out texture.
Materials and rough cost factors
- Design complexity: simple frames cost less than textures or 3D patterns.
- Area: priced per square foot or running foot.
- Finishing and paint.
- Lighting: niches and grooves with LEDs add cost.
