Accent Walls & Fireplace Features That Fit Chicago Style

In a city where architecture is part of your identity, your interior deserves to reflect that same depth and character. At Avileve, we create custom accent walls and fireplace wall features that don’t just decorate a room — they define it. Whether you live in a Lincoln Park brownstone or a modern River North condo, we design with intention and install with precision.

What Makes a Great Accent Wall in Chicago?

Character Over Trend

We build walls that look like they belong — not like they’re chasing Pinterest. Think board and batten, wainscoting, and elegant panel molding that add dimension, not distraction.

Craftsmanship in the Details

Perfect spacing. Seamless trim. Clean caulking. Smooth, sprayed finishes. That’s the difference you see (and feel) every day after we’re done.

Color With Intention

We help you choose the right shade for your room and lighting — whether that’s a dramatic black, a warm neutral, or a timeless white.

Fireplace Walls That Anchor the Room

We don’t just mount fireplaces. We design fireplace accent walls that feel integrated — with space for your TV, floating shelves, clean framing, and just the right materials to match your style.

From built-in electric fireplaces to custom wood mantels, these walls become the focal point of your living room — designed not just to warm the space, but to hold it together visually.
