Accent wall cost in Ottawa
An accent wall is the cheapest way to make a room feel designed. Ours is a flat $80 per room, whatever the room size: one wall, a second colour.
How it's priced
The room price covers the walls in one colour. The accent wall adds a second colour on one wall for $80. Example from our price list: a small lived-in room with walls, ceiling and an accent wall is $1,195.
Choosing the wall
- Bedrooms: the wall behind the headboard.
- Living rooms: the wall behind the sofa or around a fireplace.
- Long rooms: the far end wall, which makes the room feel shorter and cosier.
- Basements: a warm accent can make a low-light rec room feel finished.
Avoid walls broken up by many doors and windows; there's not much wall left to show the colour.
Colour options
Walls-only prices include four stock whites. Adding the ceiling opens our full curated palette, and the $85-per-room premium paint upgrade opens any colour, including a custom match. If you're unsure, write "decide later"; colours are confirmed before your crew is scheduled.
