Accent Wall in Back Bay, Boston MA
One wall done properly changes the whole room. Colour, panelling or millwork.
What this looks like in Back Bay
Interior work in Back Bay is shaped by what the buildings are. 1860s–1890s brownstone and brick rowhouses with bay windows, ornate cornices, iron railings and original interior plaster and millwork. Owners and condo associations in the rowhouses, most of them working within the commission process already.
How we do 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.
