My name is Kawakatsu and I'm a first-year wallpaper designer.
I would like to give you a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creation of the wallpaper design " Splash ink " for " Room No.0 ," which I was in charge of.
What inspired me to create Splash Ink?

I've always loved Korean interior design and often check it out on social media.
There are many different styles of Korean interior design, but I was particularly interested in the coordination of the elements of the room with monochrome items.

It is common to see designs that look like ink splatters on the small items used there, such as mugs and trays.
I wanted to express this design on wallpaper, which led me to create Splash ink.
Attention to design and behind the scenes
At first, I tried to express it digitally, but the image didn't come out the way I wanted, so I decided to try actually splashing ink on washi paper.

While Room No.0 is a brand with a stylish theme, this design is the result of the patience and skill that went into pursuing the charm of splattered ink by repeatedly swinging and flicking a brush at washi paper.

The texture of real ink and the realistic shape and contrast of irregularly scattered droplets are layered on an inorganic texture like ceramic to create a modern impression.
We paid attention to realistic expressions, so we believe that even though it is simple, you can feel its presence.

The unisex design is perfect not only for people who like monochrome interiors and Korean interiors, but also for the younger generation who prefer simple interior design.
I hope you enjoyed the story behind this fashionable design.

A brand that creates a higher-grade monochrome interior|Room No.0

Monochrome interiors are popular among people who want to live a stylish, hotel-like lifestyle with a restrained sense of life.
I want to keep it simple but add my own personal touches.
I want to create a space that is one level above the current one.
In such cases, we recommend interior materials that bring out the monotone colors.
Wallpaper and flooring with high-quality designs that pay attention to the texture and feel of the materials will help you create a space with a sense of presence.
- The extraordinary in the ordinary
Creating a room that is ideal and free of waste.
Changing the background changes the feel of a room more than the furniture.
Room No.0 is a design brand for your whole space.
When I was making splash ink, the ink splattered all over my face and left me with lots of moles.
The wallpaper unit "WALLN", which was started by two people who joined the company at the same time, is now spreading the appeal of wallpaper to the younger generation!
