If you want to change the look of your home a good place to start is the walls.
Unusual treatments are increasingly gaining popularity as a unique way of doing so, turning walls into works of art.
After a period where minimalism and clean lines were popular, more people want to introduce warmth and soul to their rooms, says interior architect Assia Bennani, of Marguerite & Gribouilli.
Bennani specialises in wall designs created as a one-off or limited series and sketched by hand.
'People want to integrate patterns, imagination and fantasy into interiors. The walls are no longer neglected because our living spaces are becoming smaller, especially in Hong Kong. People want to make the most of their walls as a space for self-expression,' she says.
'The first step is to define the colour, texture and finish you are after. Do you want warm, fresh, neutral or monochrome tones? Colours are closely linked to people's personalities and their cultural affiliation, the significance of colours varies from one culture to the next.
'Even so, I notice a great demand for neutral tones: greys, beiges, taupes. Most often clients ask for sober colours, but with a little touch of colour to spice things up.
