Our Services
-
We design and install four types of interior features:
Accent Walls: decorative wall treatments that add texture, color, and architectural detail.
Media & Fireplace Walls: coordinated TV walls with optional electric fireplaces, shelving, cabinetry, and lighting.
Custom Built-Ins: home offices, entertainment centers, libraries, display shelving, and storage walls.
Decorative Ceilings: wood beams, coffered details, wood slats, planks, and decorative finishes.
-
Popular options include board and batten, wainscoting, shiplap, limewash, geometric designs, and wood slats.
We also work with upholstered panels, decorative stone-look and brick-look panels, natural materials, and specialty finishes. Material options depend on the design, room conditions, and project location.
-
Yes. We can combine your TV, an electric fireplace, cabinets, open shelving, and accent lighting into one design.
We plan the composition around your room dimensions, equipment, storage needs, and preferred finishes.
-
Our main directions are home office built-ins, entertainment centers, library and display walls, and storage wall systems.
A project can include integrated desks, cabinets, drawers, bookcases, open shelves, and equipment access.
-
Yes. We can coordinate wall treatments, built-in furniture, fireplace features, and ceiling details so the materials and proportions work together.
-
Yes. We work on projects of different sizes, from a single accent wall to a complete custom wall composition. The right solution depends on your space and priorities.

-
Avileve is a national brand working with local specialists and partner teams in the regions we serve.
Your request starts with our team. We review your ideas and coordinate the next steps with the specialists serving your area. Local teams carry out the work with a shared approach to design, craftsmanship, and client service.
-
Send your ZIP code and a brief project description. We’ll check whether a local team can serve your address and discuss the available options.
Pricing & Free Estimates
-
Yes. We provide a free initial estimate based on your photos, approximate dimensions, location, and project ideas.
Final pricing is confirmed after the measurements, materials, site conditions, and scope of work are reviewed. If a project requires a separate paid service, such as detailed design development, that would be discussed before you proceed.
-
Our planning ranges are:
Board and batten: $1,500–$2,000.
Many shiplap, limewash, geometric, wood slat, and wainscoting projects: $2,000–$3,500.
Specialty finishes and more detailed designs: $3,500+.
Dimensions, preparation, materials, pattern complexity, and lighting affect the final estimate.
-
Our planning ranges are:
Modern & Stylish: $5,000–$7,000 for a TV feature wall with decorative finishes and a coordinated layout.
Fireplace & Features: $7,000–$10,000 for a design combining a TV, electric fireplace, and features such as shelving or lighting.
Complete custom compositions: $10,000–$15,000, with more extensive projects priced above this range.
The estimate will specify the cabinetry, finishes, equipment, and installation work included.
-
Our planning ranges are:
Compact & Practical: $6,000–$12,000.
Storage & Display: $10,000–$17,000.
Full-Wall & Custom: from $15,000.
Size, cabinet configuration, drawers, door styles, finishes, and integrated features all influence the cost.
-
Our planning ranges are:
Focused Ceiling Features: $3,500–$5,000.
Complete Ceiling Designs: from $8,000.
Detailed & Custom Ceilings: $10,000–$15,000+.
Ceiling height, access, materials, layout, and lighting coordination affect the amount of work involved.
-
Semi-custom projects use established designs or a combination of standard and fabricated components, adapted to your measurements. Typical larger semi-custom compositions fall around $8,000–$12,000.
Extensive fully custom projects involve more individual design development, material selection, and fabrication, often both in the workshop and on site. These generally start at $15,000.
These are broad project levels. A smaller custom feature can cost less, while a large semi-custom installation can cost more.
-
The main factors are dimensions, design complexity, materials, fabrication, installation access, and the condition of the existing space.
Cabinetry, fireplaces, integrated lighting, electrical work, and removal or preparation work can also affect the total. Location and delivery arrangements may matter, especially for more remote properties.
-
Your estimate will identify the materials and installation work included in the proposed scope.
Items such as the TV, fireplace unit, lighting components, electrical work, delivery, and removal of existing features should be checked individually. We’ll clarify what we supply and what, if anything, you need to arrange.
-
Yes. Share a budget range early so we can suggest suitable materials, layouts, and project scope.
Sometimes a simpler wall treatment achieves the desired result. Other projects benefit from combining standard components with fitted details or focusing custom work on the features that matter most to you.
All price ranges are planning guidelines, not fixed quotes. Your final estimate reflects your specific project and location.
Design & Materials
-
No. Photos of your room and a few ideas are enough to get started.
We can help you explore the layout, style, materials, and features that suit your space.
-
Yes. Reference images help us understand the look you like. We’ll discuss how to adapt that direction to your room dimensions, existing interior, and budget.
-
Yes. We’ll help you compare suitable options and coordinate them with your flooring, furniture, wall colors, and other finishes.
The goal is for the new feature to feel like part of your home.
-
Yes. Accent lighting can be incorporated into many wall designs, shelves, display niches, built-ins, and ceiling features.
Lighting placement, power access, and any required electrical work are considered during planning.
-
Often, yes. Share the dimensions and model details of any equipment you want to keep, along with photos of the furniture.
We’ll review whether those pieces can be incorporated into the design. Existing fireplace equipment also needs to be evaluated against its installation requirements.
Installation & Project Planning
-
We review your information and follow up to learn more about your space, priorities, and timeline.
Next, we discuss design options and an initial estimate. Once the direction is agreed, we confirm the details needed for fabrication and installation.
-
Timing depends on the scope, materials, fabrication requirements, and local scheduling.
A decorative wall treatment involves a different process from a full wall of custom cabinets. We’ll discuss both preparation time and the expected on-site installation schedule as the project develops.
-
Not necessarily. Depending on the design, some components may be prepared or fabricated in a workshop, with fitting, assembly, and finishing completed on site.
Other features are built primarily in the room. We’ll explain the approach for your project.
-
Yes. We plan the work with respect for your home and daily routine.
Before installation, we’ll discuss access, working areas, furniture protection, and any periods when the room may be unavailable.
-
Your local team will explain what needs to be moved or cleared before work begins.
Typically, the installation area needs to be accessible, with personal items and fragile belongings removed from the immediate workspace. Any larger furniture arrangements can be discussed in advance.
-
We identify power, lighting, fireplace, and equipment requirements during planning.
If electrical changes are needed, we’ll clarify how that work will be arranged locally and whether it is included in your estimate.
-
Send us photos of your space, approximate dimensions, your city or ZIP code, and a short description of your ideas. Inspiration images and a budget range are helpful, but you don’t need a finished plan.
