Wall Treatments

Ombre Wall

Ombré walls feature graduated color that transitions smoothly from dark to light (or between colors) across the wall surface. This modern technique creates striking visual effects that draw the eye and add drama to contemporary interiors. The gradient effect can be subtle—barely noticeable value shift—or dramatic—bold transition from saturated color to white. Ombré works vertically, horizontally, or diagonally depending on desired effect.
