Accent Wall in Beacon Hill, Boston MA
One wall done properly changes the whole room. Colour, panelling or millwork.
How this plays out in Beacon Hill
Interior work in Beacon Hill is shaped by what the buildings are. Federal and Greek Revival brick rowhouses from the early 1800s, with original wood sash, shutters, panelled doors and interior plaster throughout. Owners of historic rowhouses who expect the process to be followed and the detail to be right.
What actually happens on site
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.
The mistake we get called to fix
Running an accent colour to an outside corner. It looks like the painter ran out rather than like a design decision.
