Accent walls that make a room stop you in your tracks.
A blank wall is a missed opportunity. We design and build decorative accent walls that give a room its personality: board and batten, picture-frame wainscot, slat walls, and the two-story feature walls that take scaffolding and a steady hand.
I'm Howard, the owner of Trimhouse, and I work every job myself. Detailed wall projects are the work I love most. I got my Utah license in 2022, and this is the part of finish carpentry that still makes me step back and grin. We're based in Springville and take these projects throughout Utah, Salt Lake, Wasatch, and Summit Counties.
The styles we build
Board and batten. Clean vertical lines that work in a living room, dining room, bedroom, or entry. We lay out the spacing so it fits the wall, not a generic pattern pulled off a screen.
Picture-frame wainscot. Classic panels that feel at home in traditional Alpine-style houses and more formal living rooms. The frames should look like they belong to the room, not like they were stuck on later.
Slat walls. A tighter, more modern look. The fun is in the consistency: even gaps, a straight run, and a finish that holds up when someone stands close.
Two-story walls. These are a favorite right now. They take scaffolding, patience, and a lot of careful measuring. When they're done, people look up.
Every wall is designed for the room it's in. We meet in person to pick the wood profile and refine the layout before anything gets built.
How a wall project starts
Send a photo of the space, or of a wall you like. We'll put together a rough estimate, then meet you on site to finalize the design. Once you approve the bid, I source the materials, we set a start date and a timeline, and I get to work. We clean up when we're finished, and walk the room with you at the end.
If the trim around that wall needs a refresh too, we also handle trim and molding. A feature wall and a custom ceiling can work together when a room wants more presence. Most of this work starts close to home in Utah County, and we go farther when the project is a fit.
Frequently asked questions
Can you build a two-story accent wall? Yes. Two-story feature walls are some of our favorite projects. They take scaffolding, careful layout, and a lot of patience, and we handle all of it.
Do I need a finished design before I reach out? No. A photo of the room, or of a style you like, is enough to start. We'll shape the design together at the in-person meeting, including the wood profile and the layout.
Do you build accent walls outside Utah County? Yes. We're based in Springville and take on wall projects throughout Utah, Salt Lake, Wasatch, and Summit Counties.
