[SUGGESTION] Shirogane base interior detail

[Solarra]

Does anyone have a suggestion for working around this?

It depends how subtle you want this to be and how large your space is. The black or white marble floors both look good with a lot of the walls. Plain white walls with the gold leaf wallpaper from the Mogstation look good and I saw one stunning house on our server where they mixed that with panels in Dalamud Red and Black. Strong lighting on plants and other features made a really unforgettable interior.
Personally, I've used gold wallpaper on one floor and the House Borel wallpaper combined with black marble flooring upstairs, that last combo is a bit dark though, so I'm still experimenting. If I was going for subtle, I'd go for the plain white walls in pale colours or the Goblet default walls which look surprisingly good.

I'd suggest playing around with the lighting if you aren't sure you like something or it seems just a little off. The new Classic Chandelier casts a strong yellow light (sad face), while the Alpine Chandelier casts a strong red, which is nice for warming up pale walls and floors.
Because the ceilings are high, I'm basically ignoring the coving rather than trying to match it.

It is challenging but the more I work with it, the more I like it. If you are looking for inspiration, Housing Snap, FFXIV Housing websites and Hancock's office in-game are good places to start.

I didn't see this as an issue when I had a shirogane house, I just made the house look eastern to go with it. But I do agree with all the housing like goblet has terrible design, not a fan of the riviera pillars in mist. They should let us twink more since housing is more popular and we have fake windows and everything. Let us remove the old small ones and change ceiling light positions etc.
