Media wall service page
Design options that go beyond a simple TV wall.
From fireplace integration and LED lighting to storage, slatted panelling and decorative finishes, each media wall is shaped around the room rather than built from a fixed formula.
What is a media wall?
A properly designed media wall should feel built into the architecture of the room.
The best media walls bring together the screen, fire, lighting and storage into one composed focal point. Done well, they improve the proportion of the room, hide visual clutter and create a stronger sense of finish.
- TV, soundbar and sockets arranged in a cleaner visual hierarchy
- Electric fireplaces integrated with practical clearances and ventilation
- Lighting used to add depth instead of distraction
- Storage and shelves balanced so the wall remains calm and symmetrical
Design options
Different homes need different levels of statement, softness and practicality.
Option 02
Feature fireplace centrepiece
Designed around a standard or panoramic electric fire, with the television and hearth line carefully balanced above.
Option 03
Storage-led family wall
Great for larger rooms where cupboards, display shelving and practical zones need to sit naturally within the design.
Option 04
Slatted and textured finish wall
Adds depth and material character, especially when paired with warm lighting and a more architectural mood.
Option 05
Decorative luxury statement
For homes where Venetian plaster, refined reveals and deeper finish detail are part of the brief.
Option 06
Compact wall with strong proportion
Smaller rooms can still feel premium when the TV recess, lighting and finishes are judged carefully.
Fireplace options
Electric fireplaces should look intentional, not squeezed into the wall.
The right fire depends on the wall width, the TV size above it and how much visual emphasis you want the flame to have in the room.
- Standard electric fires suit simpler, more compact feature walls
- Premium panoramic fires create a broader horizontal focal line
- Clearances, output and power planning are reviewed at the survey stage
- The surrounding finish should support the fire rather than compete with it
Lighting, TV mounting & cabling
The invisible decisions often matter most.
A premium result depends on what you do not immediately see: cable pathways, service access, switch planning and the exact relationship between the screen and surrounding details.
LED lighting
Lighting can be simple and restrained or split into premium zones. Colour temperature and brightness matter as much as the strip itself.
TV mounting
Screen height, surround clearance and sightlines are reviewed so the television feels comfortably integrated into the elevation.
Hidden cabling
Power, HDMI, speaker and data routing can all be planned inside the wall to keep the finished presentation calm and clean.
Storage & finishes
Joinery, texture and decorative depth shape the personality of the wall.
- Open shelves can add rhythm and styling space without overloading the room
- Closed cupboards keep the wall visually tidy where practical storage matters
- Painted finishes offer a clean base, while slatted panels and Venetian plaster add more character
- Material choices should support the wider interior palette rather than overpower it

FAQs
A few common service questions.
Do I need a fireplace for a media wall to look premium?
No. Some of the best-looking walls are deliberately minimal. A fireplace is an option, not a requirement, and should only be included if it suits the room and the overall composition.
Can you design around an existing television size?
Yes. Existing TV sizes can be designed into the layout, along with soundbars, media boxes and any must-have equipment that needs to remain accessible.
What if I want a very specific finish?
That can be reviewed during consultation. Painted finishes, slatted panels and Venetian plaster-style looks all create different moods and budget levels.
Will storage make the wall feel bulky?
Not if it is designed properly. Balanced proportions and selective storage can make the wall feel more composed rather than heavier.
