The popularity of Media walls has grown exponentially in recent year and for good reason. They’re sleek, space-saving, and make a stunning feature of your TV and fireplace. If you’re thinking about adding a media wall to your home, here’s everything you need to know.
What is a Media Wall?
A media wall is a custom-built structure that houses your TV, electric fire, storage, and even ambient lighting in one integrated, modern feature. Think of it as the evolution of the traditional fireplace and TV stand, just way more stylish and practical.
Why Homeowners Love Media Walls
Clean, clutter-free design
Built-in storage for consoles, cables, and décor
Creates a luxury feel without taking up much space
Integrates electric fires, adding warmth and atmosphere
Customisable to suit your space and style
Key Features to Include
Electric Fire Inserts
These are safe, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient. Choose a model with LED lighting and realistic flame effects for a real wow factor.
TV Recess and Cabling
The wall should be built to accommodate your TV size, with concealed cable management so you don’t see any wires.
LED Strip Lighting
Lighting behind shelves or around the edges of the wall adds a soft glow and elevates the whole space.
Floating Shelves or Display Niches
These let you personalise the wall with books, artwork, or ornaments—without creating visual clutter.
Storage for Consoles & Speakers
Built-in cupboards or recesses keep your tech tidy while maintaining easy access.
Our Design Tips
Proportion is everything. Make sure the media wall doesn’t overpower the room - scale it to fit your space.
Match the materials to your existing décor. Whether you want a sleek, high-gloss look or a more natural finish like wood and stone, your media wall should complement your interior.
Futureproof the design by including space for larger TVs or additional smart tech later.
Can You Add One to Any Room?
Most media walls are added to living rooms, but they also work well in bedrooms, home offices, or even open-plan kitchens. As long as the wall is suitable for supporting the structure, we can usually find a design solution that fits.
This is where bespoke really shines. Whether it’s a custom breakfast nook, curved island, or a specific finish you love, your kitchen should feel like yours. We help bring those ideas to life with design that’s both personal and purposeful.
A media wall is more than just a place to put your TV; it's a design statement that can completely transform your space. Whether you're after ultra-modern minimalism or something with a touch of warmth and texture, we can help you create a media wall that’s both beautiful and practical.
