Accent Wall in Arlington, MA
One wall done properly changes the whole room. Colour, panelling or millwork.
On Arlington properties
Interior work in Arlington is shaped by what the buildings are. Two-families and three-deckers in East Arlington, Colonial Revivals and Victorians through the middle, and larger 1920s–1950s homes in the Heights. Owner-occupants throughout, with two-family owners concentrated at the east end.
The way we work it
One wall done properly changes the whole room. Colour, panelling or millwork.
A feature wall is mostly about the edge where it stops. Crisp termination at an inside corner, level lines on panelling, and a sheen step between the accent and the surrounding walls so the eye reads it as deliberate.
Where these jobs go wrong
Running an accent colour to an outside corner. It looks like the painter ran out rather than like a design decision.
