Accent Wall in Wayland, MA
One wall done properly changes the whole room. Colour, panelling or millwork.
What this looks like in Wayland
Interior work in Wayland is shaped by what the buildings are. Colonial Revivals, antique colonials near the centre, mid-century ranches and splits, and larger newer homes on subdivided land. Owner-occupants on large properties, usually maintaining a house they intend to keep.
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.
