Accent Wall Contractors Who Know Libertyville Homes

Libertyville has two very different kinds of homes. Older houses near downtown have original trim and smaller rooms, while the subdivisions built in the late 1980s and 1990s have open family rooms and tall, plain drywall walls.

Tall Walls in Newer Homes

Two-story family rooms and great rooms often have one large wall with nothing on it. Wood slats, a media wall or a full-height panel grid give that wall a clear purpose and fix the scale of the room.

Character in the Heritage Area

Homes near Cook Park and Milwaukee Avenue often have original trim, plaster and narrower rooms. Wainscoting or panel molding that follows the old trim adds depth without looking out of place.

Accent Wall Installation for Every Room

Most Libertyville projects start with one of three services. Built-ins add storage to a plain family room wall, wall panels bring depth to rooms old and new, and stone or brick gives a fireplace a solid, natural look.

Where Should Your Accent Wall Go?

Family Room and TV Wall

In a 1990s family room, the TV wall is the one everyone faces. A media wall with hidden cables and a slatted or paneled surround turns it into the center of the room.

Entry, Stairway and Dining Room

A tall entry or stair wall is the first thing guests see, so panel molding there sets the tone for the whole house. A dining room wall works the same way at a smaller scale.

Plan the Design Before the Installation

An accent wall looks right when the design is settled before anyone cuts material. A short planning step saves changes later and keeps the quote accurate.


Bring answers to these questions to your first call.



  • How tall is the wall, one story or two?

  • Will a TV, speakers or a soundbar sit on it?

  • Which trim, doors and floors should it match?

  • Do you want a warm wood look or a painted finish?

  • From which rooms can you see this wall?

Choosing Between the Three Main Finishes

A media wall hides cables, frames the TV and can add shelves or a soundbar niche. It suits family rooms where the TV is already the focal point.


Wood slats add warmth and vertical lines that make a tall wall feel intentional. Spacing and wood tone set the mood, from soft and natural to dark and modern.


Wall panels and wainscoting add depth through shadow lines. In an older downtown home they can match the original trim, and in a newer house they give plain drywall some structure.

What Changes the Plan for Your Wall?

Two walls of the same size can need very different work. These are the points we check on the first visit to your Libertyville home.

Wall Height

A two-story wall needs careful layout so the pattern lines up from floor to ceiling. We plan seams and joints before the first board goes up.

Floors, Cabinets and Trim

The new wall should work with the wood and colors already in the house. We compare finish samples against your floors and trim in your own light.

Daily Use

A busy family room needs finishes that handle kids and everyday wear. A quiet bedroom or office can take softer, more delicate textures.

Libertyville Accent Wall Questions

What affects the price of accent wall installation in Libertyville?

Wall size, material and the work behind the finish, such as moving outlets or adding support for a TV, set the price. Send photos and rough sizes, and we will prepare a free written quote.

Can you hide TV cables in a media wall?

Yes. We plan the cable routes, the TV position and any shelves or niches before installation, so the finished wall has no loose wires in view.

Is Accent Wall Works a local Libertyville company?

Yes. We are a family-owned company based in Libertyville, and we work across Lake County, the North Shore and nearby suburbs such as Lake Forest, Lincolnshire, Buffalo Grove and Deerfield.

Can you add an accent wall to a two-story family room?

Yes. Tall walls need careful layout, so we plan the pattern, joints and any TV or lighting points from floor to ceiling before installation. Wood slats and full-height panels suit these rooms well.
