The Challenge
The client wanted a dramatic focal point for their living room that would add warmth and texture without overwhelming the space. The existing wall had some electrical outlets and a thermostat that needed to be carefully worked around.
Our Solution
We designed a full-height vertical slat wall using white oak with a natural finish. Each slat was precisely spaced for visual consistency, and we created custom housings for the electrical components that seamlessly integrated with the design. LED strip lighting was added behind the slats for ambient evening lighting.
"The accent wall they built in our living room completely transformed the space. From the initial design consultation to the final touches, their craftsmanship and attention to detail was exceptional."

This West Vancouver residence needed a dramatic update to their main living area. The homeowners were looking for something that would make a statement while maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic of their home.
The Approach
We started with a detailed consultation to understand the vision: warm wood tones, vertical lines, and subtle lighting. After presenting several options, we settled on white oak slats with a natural matte finish that would complement the existing hardwood floors.
