Accent & feature walls.
Timber slat walls, picture-frame molding, wainscoting and full entertainment walls, set out for the room and built on site by Barkley Carpentry. Barkley sets out the pattern by hand in Pilot Point and builds feature walls for homes across Prosper, Celina and Aubrey.
The craft
One wall, and the room changes.
A feature wall is mostly about proportion: the spacing of the slats, the height of the batten, the line of the panels. Barkley Carpentry sets the pattern out for your wall and the room around it, then builds and finishes it in place. Every feature wall Barkley builds in Pilot Point reads as architecture rather than a kit on the wall.

Common questions
About accent walls.
What styles of accent wall do you build?
Wood slat walls, board and batten, wainscoting, and paneled feature walls. The style is chosen to suit the room and the way the light falls across it.
Do you design the pattern, or just install it?
Both. Barkley sets out the pattern and the spacing for the wall and the room, then builds and finishes it on site, so it is made for that wall rather than a kit.
