Royal Texture Paint Designs
1. The Velvet Touch

I don’t want walls that look like they should be in a damn five-star hotel but if my walls don’t look like they are then I don’t want them.
Literally, this is the easiest way to make your couches, dinette, rug, and entire space look expensive and all that without selling a kidney.
And I tried this once in my hallway, and people couldn’t stop running their hands over the walls like they were petting a fancy-ass cat.
But what about the soft glow it gives? Unreal. Deep jewel tones pair really goes well with it but you’re suddenly right into a high maintenance style.
2. Imperial Drama

You know what I hate? Boring walls. If I go into a house with no personality, and the walls are just plain white, no personality, then I immediately assume that house does not have a personality either.
For that reason, I become obsessed with a dark marble finish. It’s more on the dramatic side. But, it’s intense.
I have it on good authority that you spend Saturday afternoons wining and dining and spending your weekends at art galleries.
There once was a navy marble wall that had faint traces of gold veins through it. I know this because it looked like something a billionaire would have done in his penthouse.
This screams credibility and if you want a powerful, moody and high-end design then this is it.
3. Gilded Opulence

Okay, listen to me. Gold leaf. You think it’s too much? You’re wrong. As soon as you put that gold up on the walls, you have shot down into the land of old money.
I once did a deep royal blue rug with soft gold accents in my entryway, and the compliments just kept coming. People would walk in; immediately assume I had generational wealth (I don’t). But that’s the trick!
Not only is this classy and rich, but it also provides your walls with that ‘I belong in Versailles energy.’ Bonus: It looks unbelievably insane under soft lighting.
4. Regal Rust

I know what you’re thinking about rust? On my walls? But hear me out. This is the definition of industrial-chic royalty and it is called oxidised metal finish.
And it feels like that sexy, expensive loft in an unassuming way. So, you can casually have contemporary art and a taste for whiskey.
Once I saw something like this in a penthouse, deep brownish copper hues with a hint of metallic sheen and I couldn’t look away.
Moody, rich, a beautifully cool luxury, effortless, but not at all trying. Do this if you dig the raw yet refined aesthetic.
5. Classic Elegance

If you love that old-school royalty, chandeliers, grand staircases, and a slow-motion walk down to the hall then you just need a damask-patterned plaster.
It feels like the European old city where you are sipping tea from that ancient family heirloom. Like, I stayed at a boutique hotel, soft grey damask textured walls and I thought I was in a period drama as soon as I set in.
Do it in cream, grey or soft gold and it will never be outdated. Well, if it was good enough for kings, it’s good enough for your hallway too.
6. The Luxe Cloud

Ever looked up at the sky and thought, ‘Damn, my walls should look like that? No? Is it Just me?
Whatever. Like a smoky texture that looks ethereal as hell, and at the same time it is so stupidly elegant that no one is doing it.
I also went neutral beige to charcoal like it was the dream sequence of expensive aspirations. If you also want a rich but mystic vibe on your walls then it certainly makes them look soft, expensive, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Not terribly subtle though, in a way ‘I just spent way too much on this’, even if you hadn’t.
7. Pearl Illusion

If you want your walls to look soft, glow, and magical, go for a satin pearl finish. Once I did this in a powder room and I have to say, the glow was immaculate. It’s not full of shiny, rather than perfect gentle shimmer.
And those light catches, it’s like an expensive silk fabric. Bonus points if you make your walls with actual pearls colour like off white or champagne colour.
People will come in and tell, “Oh my god” while you can sip your coffee imagining that you have made the best wall decision ever.
8. Stone Cold Royalty

I don’t know about you, but I want my walls to look like an expensive Italian villa before I even think about booking a one-way ticket to Italy.
And here enter limestone and Venetian plaster. I had an actual moment of silence when I saw this for the first time somewhere in a designer showroom.
It’s matte, textured; stupidly elegant in the sense and every time you look at it, you want to drink wine on it. It’s also zero maintenance and no need for touch-ups every two months like regular paint, and it won’t cost extra in maintenance. Win-win.
9. Stormy Drama

Truth be told, when it comes to textured concrete walls, I’ve been living in a high-end loft in New York City which gives some real vibes.
The stormy grey was so moody, intense, and striking and it was also the best and perfect shade that I once saw in a boutique hotel, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. It’s actually the kind of wall that can make your day.
And this is the one if you are into that effortlessly cool ‘I woke up like this’ vibe. Bonus: It easily matches with almost any furniture and with minimal effort.
10. The Grand Silk

Silk-effect textured walls are the ultimate symbol of interior luxury, sleek, refined, and effortlessly stylish. There was once a penthouse that I walked into which had that, and I still swear the walls glowed.
I don’t know how to explain it; it’s like the dream scene of a luxury. And the best part? It felt like actual silk. More specifically, this is going everywhere in my house if I get rich.
I can paint that on bedrooms, hallways, even the damn bathroom. It’s that good.
11. Baroque Majesty

If I am told to choose one paint really quick. Then it is definitely this Baroque Majesty. They will scream it is not paint; it is 3d panels. But I say “see, I have more money to spend on paints”.
This gives serious energy. That’s what this gives. The patterns on the raised hallways look like a Paris hotel where I once stayed and felt so regal that when I walked through them, I felt like royalty.
The more dramatic and expensive your walls look, the better they are.
12. The Desert Luxe

Have you ever entered a place where you thought it was expensive even if it was super minimal and no one else is there? Textured sand finish is the same like this and does exactly what it does.
While it’s smooth, it has just enough to make a statement, and the idea of an expensive vacation home in Morocco comes to mind.
However, I remember seeing this once at a high-end spa and it was complete serenity in a wall form. Warm, earthy and entirely the right ratio of curated as hell. Bonus: You don’t have to clean it every half an hour.
13. Mystical Hues

Okay, listen. The actual sorcery is a two tone textured painting. Once I did this in my friend’s hallway and I really changed up the space.
The trick? Laying two shades on top of one another so that it appears as if the wall has actual depth.
Clearly, I chose a deep charcoal grey blended into a muted olive green and the result was pure magic. Lighting also changes the vibe, sometimes dramatically, sometimes softly, but always good.
If you don’t want your walls to look like a failed Pinterest project, try this.
14. Royal Geometric

Do you want designer-ass walls? Metallic geometric embossed patterns will be your new best friend. I saw this at a high-end boutique, and I swear my brain glitched for a second.
The metallic paint catching the light in such a way? Unreal. I mean, hexagons, diamonds, abstract waves and whatever pattern graces your tastes, embossed on the wall in a way that appears designed for royalty.
I’m personally more obsessed with having rose gold against such a dark navy blue, but honestly, you can’t really go wrong with this one.
Just trust me. You can also choose it if you want to glitch your guests like some matrix and stuck there with a headache.
15. Midnight Opulence

Sexy walls must need to be shiny gold, deep blue or black walls with metallic accents. This is next level luxury, call it what you want, this is the kind of look you want that is not a hallway but rather a goddamn exclusive lounge.
Once I saw this at a cocktail bar and I swore I felt richer standing there. Deep, inky walls with subtle silver or gold highlights? I am Obsessed.
The moody, bold look will make it look a million bucks. As long as your lighting is right, because one sad ceiling light won’t do justice to this.
Bous: Try using warm and soft lighting as it will put you in a private members’ only club type situation.
16. Bonus: The Liquid Gold Effect

No kidding, I had to include one more in the list with all this. Why? Because this is the ultimate flex. Do you wish for your walls to be practically coated in molten gold? Liquid gold texture paint.
Because, the metallic, glossy thing is pure, unapologetic wealth, dripping straight from it. I nearly died when I saw this in a designer’s showroom.
This is THE move if you want your house to look like the home of an actual king or queen. Deep emerald green or black also goes well with it and your space will look ridiculously high-end.
Final thoughts
Alright, now that I’ve handed over the golden list of texture paint ideas to you. You can expect your hall to look as expensive as heaven. And don’t be boring, don’t go play it safe with walls. Pick one, make it work, make it have yours. Even if you’re faking it like the rest of us, your home should still look like you have some generational wealth. And don’t settle for your cousin’s friend who ‘knows a guy’ instead hire a real professional for this. As luxury aesthetics are concerned, they DO NOT play until you hire the interior design company. Go on, make your walls look rich and thank me later.
