When renovating, 'eine Innenwand streichen' (to paint an interior wall), 'eine Innenwand tapezieren' (to wallpaper an interior wall), and 'eine Innenwand verputzen' (to plaster an interior wall) are typical collocations. Here, 'Innenwand' is used as the object in the accusative case.

The preposition 'an' (on/to) is often used for objects on a wall surface: 'an der Innenwand' (on the interior wall), with the dative, describes the location. 'An die Innenwand' (onto the interior wall), with the accusative, describes where something is hung or placed.
