ACCENT WALL
A single wall that changes the whole room. Slats, panels, texture, or paint, designed to feel original to the space.
An accent wall is a designed feature wall (wood slat, paneling, millwork, or texture) that anchors a room. Purpose Design+Build designs it with you, locks the plan and budget, and manages the install so it looks built-in, not bolted-on.
We start by reading the room: sightlines, light, the wall you actually see when you walk in. Then we design the feature to fit it, choosing between wood slat, applied molding, flat-panel millwork, or a textured plaster or paint treatment. We handle layout, material selection, and a managed install so the edges, outlets, and transitions land clean. Most accent walls are a two to four day install once the design is locked.

How much does accent wall cost in Chicago?
Every accent wall project is priced after a paid design consult, not off a flat menu, because scope and materials vary. Request an estimate and we send a ballpark range within two business days, then lock a firm number at the consult.
What does the accent wall process look like?
We listen, design it with you, lock the plan and budget, match you with the right builders, and manage the build. You approve before anything is built.
