Accent Wall Designs

Accent walls are a powerful design feature that can instantly transform the look and feel of any room by drawing attention to a specific area. Typically, an accent wall is one wall in a room that is painted or decorated differently from the others, creating a striking visual contrast. Common materials used for accent walls include paint, wallpaper, wood paneling, stone, and 3D wall panels. These materials allow for endless design possibilities, from bold colors to intricate textures, making the accent wall a true focal point that enhances the room’s overall aesthetic and sets the tone for the entire space. Whether you want to add depth, warmth, or a pop of color, an accent wall is an excellent way to express your personal style and make a statement.

Wallpaper Accent Walls

A wallpaper accent wall is a stylish design feature that involves applying decorative wallpaper to one wall in a room, creating a striking visual contrast with the surrounding walls. This modern design element not only adds visual interest but also allows you to infuse your space with personality, pattern, and color. Common types of wallpaper used for accent walls include vinyl, textured, and peel-and-stick options, which can be selected to complement or contrast with the room’s existing color scheme. A wallpaper accent wall can serve as a focal point, adding depth, texture, and a sense of dimension to the space, often making the room feel more dynamic and sophisticated. Whether you choose a bold geometric pattern, a subtle floral design, or a modern abstract print, a wallpaper accent wall enhances the overall aesthetic of a room while adding a unique and stylish touch.

Wainscoting Installation

Wainscoting is a classic architectural feature that involves the installation of decorative paneling along the lower portion of a wall, typically covering the bottom third of the wall. This timeless design element not only adds visual interest but also serves to protect walls from scuffs and wear. Common materials used for wainscoting include wood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), PVC, and sometimes beadboard, which can be left natural or painted to match or contrast with the room's existing color scheme. Wainscoting can create a focal point in any room by adding texture, depth, and a sense of structure, often making the space feel more polished and sophisticated. Whether it's a traditional raised panel style or a more modern flat panel design, wainscoting enhances the overall aesthetic of a room while adding a touch of elegance and charm.

Our Accent Wall & Wainscoting Painting & Installation Process

1. Consultation:

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your vision, style preferences, and the overall design of your home. This conversation helps us understand your goals and choose the ideal accent wall design or wainscoting style that complements your space.


2. Measurement & Material Selection:

We take precise measurements of the walls to ensure the design fits perfectly within your space. Based on the chosen design—whether it’s a 3D accent wall or wainscoting—we source high-quality materials that ensure durability and a flawless finish, tailored to your specific aesthetic and functional needs.


3. Preparation & Surface Preparation:

Before installation begins, we prepare the area by cleaning the walls and ensuring they are smooth and level. If any existing wall treatments need to be removed, such as old wallpaper or trim, we handle this carefully to avoid any damage, setting the stage for a perfect installation.


4. Installation:

The selected materials for the accent wall or wainscoting are meticulously cut and installed according to the precise measurements. Our team pays close attention to detail, especially around corners and edges, ensuring a seamless and professional fit. The materials are securely affixed using top-quality adhesives and fasteners, guaranteeing longevity and a polished appearance.


5. Sealing & Finishing Touches:

Once installed, any gaps or seams between the accent wall or wainscoting and the surrounding walls are carefully sealed with caulk, providing a smooth and finished look while preventing moisture or dust intrusion. Finally, the surface is painted or stained according to your chosen finish, enhancing the overall design and ensuring a cohesive look. After the installation, our team ensures the space is left clean and tidy, and we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure the work meets your expectations, making any necessary final adjustments.

I highly recommend EK Painting! From meeting Kelly for an estimate to the finished product, everything was done in a professional manner. My two-story home with vaulted ceilings was painted on the inside…every room, walls and ceiling, and most closets. There was a lot of repair work needed, but there is no evidence to be seen now of any holes or cracks. Wallpaper was removed in powder room, and the walls look amazing. There are no ‘splatters’ to clean. The window treatments, mirrors, and other miscellaneous items were removed from walls and returned to their location. The crew was prompt each morning; and at closing time each day, materials and tools were put in an area, which was out of the way and orderly. The cost of the complete job is very reasonable. Thinking about having some painting done at your home or place of business, EK Painting would be the local company to contact.

I would highly recommend EK Painting to anyone that needs painting or wall repair. Kelly and his Team did a fantastic job on my property. Kelly made the process very easy from the consultation to the final walk through. Kelly was upfront and 100% honest about the pricing, the quality of work, and what to except as a finished product and he was spot on on all three phases. The price didn't change from what he originally quoted, the quality of work was incredible, and the finished product far exceeded my expectations. I thought I was in a brand new building after Kelly and his Team were finished. Kelly even gave suggestions and helped pick great color schemes that really make the place feel modern and comfortable. Kelly is a true professional and a master at his trade. I can tell he wanted to make sure the place looked the best it possibly could and takes a lot of pride in his work. I would definitely use EK Painting in the future and recommend them to anyone that needs a painter 🎨. They're awesome and their work is incredible.

We wanted to take our dark oak features (trim and beams), as well as some of the home's original paints (purples, off white, etc) and lighten everything up. This way our home felt fresh and inspirational for whatever we choose to do next. Kelly and his crew did an outstanding job, even at one point being willing to paint a wall a different color than I originally asked. They also did wallpaper accents in some rooms and it’s perfect! I will continue to use and recommend EK Painting.

We had the interior of our house painted recently. Went with EK Painting because we had used this business in the past and very pleased with his company. Always on time and professional and attention to detail. We were at a loss as to what color to paint in some of the rooms and he suggested a color consultant that could help with this decision. Meredith came and helped us out in choosing the right color. She was very helpful and professional also. We are very pleased with EK Painting and would recommend them if you’re looking  for an excellent painter.
