Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Modern Minimalist Walls Are the Ultimate ‘Stealth Wealth’ Statement – and You Can Bring Their Low-Key Luxury Look to Life

Hailey Bieber is renowned for her elegant, quiet luxury style, but her paneled greige walls take the model’s stylish modern minimalist design to the next level.

Hailey recently shared a look at the home she likely shares with her husband, Justin Bieber, on Instagram, showcasing walls that embody a perfectly casual, chic, stealth wealth aesthetic. The straight, modern panels are accentuated by a glossy, neutral paint finish. One glimpse is enough to convince us we need this living room wall idea in our own homes.

Interior design experts agree on the appeal of the color and paneling combination. Jessica Myeck, a DURA color expert at Dunn-Edwards, notes, ‘After seeing Hailey Bieber's Instagram post where she showcases her “casual-chic” style and stunning greige walls, I can understand how many might be tempted to incorporate a similar color into their own homes.’

Myeck adds that the look generally brings ‘an organic, yet polished, feel to any room or design style – but especially suits laundry rooms, entryways, bedrooms, and kitchens’.

Interior designer Tama Bell, founder of Tama Bell Design, further explains the enduring appeal of paneling. ‘Paneled walls are a popular design choice for a number of reasons. They are a classic, traditional element and add a layer of architectural detail to a home. We love how they can be used to make a new home feel “old.”’

For those looking to replicate Hailey’s sophisticated style, Jessica has specific paint recommendations, perfect for setting a serene tone as the cooler, cozier days of autumn approach or as a fresh backdrop for spring decor. One of her favorites is Bungalow Taupe (DE6172), which she describes as ‘a grainy tan dusted with green and has a delightfully organic feel.

Versatile and freeing, Bungalow Taupe is perfect for a variety of design styles, making it the ideal choice to incorporate into your living spaces.’ Jessica also favors Desert Suede (DE6206), which she calls 'a timeless neutral greige with a subtle hint of green. Its versatility allows the hue to effortlessly complement various design aesthetics, both indoors and outdoors.’ For a touch of classic elegance, she suggests Fine Grain (DE6213), which is a ‘sophisticated greige hue that translates to any space, working exceptionally well in transitional design styles.’

This classic chic look relies heavily on monochromatic color schemes, so both Jessica and Tama advise sticking to a single color. Jessica suggests painting everything – walls, doors, trims, and even the ceilings – in the exact same shade, noting that the texture variations of the panels will elevate the design.

Tama calls this technique of using one color across all surfaces in a paneled room ‘color drenching’ and says it can visually expand a space. She finds this method particularly effective in smaller areas like a powder bath, laundry room, or mud room.

For those who don't have existing paneling, Jessica offers a clever workaround to capture the effect. She suggests: ‘You can use a painter’s tape [available at Amazon] to achieve the effect of paneling through the use of precise lines: start by painting the base color of your choosing, and then apply the tape to create 1/4” vertical stripes every six inches or so (based on the size of your wall). This clever technique will give the illusion of vertical paneling, adding a touch of sophistication to your space.’
