Accent walls are one of the most effective ways to give your home a fresh, eye-catching upgrade. Whether you're enhancing a living room, bedroom, or entryway, a well-designed accent wall adds both character and sophistication. At Urbane Upgrade, we design and build custom accent walls tailored to your space, style, and lifestyle.

From timeless shiplap to elegant wainscoting and reclaimed wood finishes, our skilled carpenters bring your vision to life with precision and creativity.

Why Choose a Custom Accent Wall?

Adding a custom accent wall isn’t just a design choice—it’s a functional upgrade that improves your space in multiple ways:

  • Accent walls add dimension and visual interest to plain walls. Instead of a flat, empty surface, they introduce contrast and depth, helping your room feel more dynamic and thoughtfully designed.
  • Create natural separation in open-concept spaces. A feature wall can define different zones—like separating a dining area from a living room accent wall—without the need for construction or added furniture.
  • Draw attention to architectural features. Highlighting a fireplace, window, or built-in shelving with an accent wall ensures that the most beautiful parts of your home stand out.
  • Increase the home’s appeal to future buyers. Modern, well-crafted accent wall ideas such as decorative woodwork or bold colors are beautiful to buyers and can boost your home's perceived value.

Choose Materials That Fit Your Style

Every home is different, so we offer a wide variety of materials to ensure your accent wall reflects your taste:

  • Shiplap accent walls add warmth and charm, perfect for farmhouse or coastal interiors. This horizontal wood plank look has become a timeless staple in home design.
  • Custom wainscoting brings elegance and texture to dining rooms, hallways, and offices. It’s a classic feature that instantly elevates the feel of any space.
  • Reclaimed wood panels provide a rustic, natural look with eco-friendly appeal. The variation in grain and tone gives the wall a unique character that can’t be replicated.
  • Painted slats or panel walls offer clean lines and a modern vibe. This is ideal for minimalist homes or rooms with neutral palettes that need a subtle statement.

Designed Just for Your Home

With custom carpentry, your accent wall is built to suit your layout and existing décor. We carefully assess your space to design a feature that enhances the room without overwhelming it. Our carpenters handle every detail, from framing and finishing to painting or staining, ensuring that your new accent wall living room feature feels like it was always part of the home.
