Accent Wall in Lincoln, MA

What this looks like in Lincoln

Interior work in Lincoln is shaped by what the buildings are. Antique colonials through the historic areas, and a notable stock of mid-century modern houses at Brown's Wood and along Baker Bridge Road, including the Gropius House. Owners of architecturally significant houses, both antique and modern, who care how it is done.

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.

What usually fails

Running an accent colour to an outside corner. It looks like the painter ran out rather than like a design decision.
