08 Feb Life Is About Using Your Whole Box Of Crayons

Some people like rooms with plain white or gray walls. Others prefer them to be more colorful so as to better exhibit their personality.

There are also people who prefer that every room be carpeted. Well, not in the kitchen or bathroom. Because that would just be wrong.

But some people wouldn’t even consider having anything other than tile or hardwood on their floors.

How your house and the rooms within it look are a direct reflection of who you are and how you want others to see you when they visit your abode.

That’s why we created Egowall – to allow you to do the same thing online that you are currently doing in real life.

And we have good news. You can fully personalize the look of your Egowall living spaces.

There are three customization options available:

• painting walls and other surfaces,

• changing a surface material, and

• copying color and/or material from one spot to another.
