How to make interior walls look more realistic

Hi,

I'm using the Benjamin Moore paint colors for room style boards.  Is there a way to make the paint look more realistic, have some "depth"?

Thank you!

Tamara

    In general terms, "depth" is created by shading and perspective.

    I wonder, though, if depth might in this case also be meant to affect the rooms’ walls’ surfaces in some way, like some spatial unevenness or plastic surface structure.

    Asking questions about images but not showing them can make a meaningful conversation difficult.

    Even what you mean by »depth« in this case seems somewhat unclear to me.

    Can you post an example? Are these style boards illustrations of rooms or actual photos?

    Hi Chuck,

    Here is an example...

    I've added a "paint brush texture" in a shade darker which seems to help.
