In the post below we'll guide you through with some media wall design inspiration and options to consider.
1. Built-in Media Walls: A Seamless Fusion of Design and Functionality
Built-in media walls are a popular choice for homeowners looking to create a cohesive and organised living space. These media wall designs incorporate the TV and other media devices, such as speakers, gaming consoles, and record players, into built-in cabinetry or shelving units. This approach allows the technology to blend seamlessly into the room's decor, ensuring the TV doesn't become the central focus.
Pros of Built-in Media Walls
Provides a sleek, streamlined look
Offers ample storage for media devices and accessories
Can easily conceal wires and cables
Can be customised to fit your personal style and room layout
Can add value to your home
Cons of Built-in Media Walls
Can be more expensive than other media wall options
May require a slightly longer build time if being plastered
2. Wall Mounted System Media Walls: A Stunning Accent for Any Room
An alternative solution to our fully built-in media wall options are the slightly more flexible media walls with wall mounted components. Our bespoke wall-mounted solutions often include wall panelling, bespoke TV surround and either a free-standing or wall mounted TV unit cabinetry solution. These walls usually don't require plastering which can significantly cut down the start-to-finish build time, and with a near limitless range of architectural finishes, no two designs ever need to be the same.
Pros of Wall Mounted system Media Walls
Can be a more affordable option
Offers a wide range of design possibilities
Can be easily updated or changed to refresh your room's look

From Italian textured paint finishes to wood, oxidised metal and concrete effects, our expert team can guide you with finding the perfect finish to create the media wall of your dreams.

Textured paint is fast becoming a popular interior design choice. Our range includes matt suede-effect paints, to pearlescent luxury metallic finishes in a range of shades to suit all interiors. These paint finishes look different from different angles, play with light and add a luxury touch to your design.
Slat Wall Panelling

Slat wall panels create a beautiful backdrop of a media wall. Integrate a bespoke TV surround panel, LED lighting and bespoke cabinetry in a complimentary finish and create a unique media wall design that stands out from the crowd.
5. Lighting your Media Wall: Setting the Mood
Incorporating the right lighting into your media wall design can greatly enhance its visual appeal and create a cosy atmosphere. Some lighting ideas to consider:
Spotlights
Highlight you media wall's decorative elements, such as artwork or collectibles, with carefully placed spotlights. Downlights built into shelving create a subtle ambience and we can install dimmers, Philips Hue lighting or multi-switches so you can customise your glow.
LED Strip Lights
Use LED strip lighting to create a soft ambient glow around your TV or within built-in shelving. We can also make a stand-out feature using LED strip lighting on the face of the wall, for a dramatic media wall look.
Ceiling Coving Lighting
Some clients fully renovating opt for our interior coving lighting to compliment their media walls. Feature lighting around the rest of your room can help highlight your media wall or create more of a feature of your wall. Our fully-qualified electrician can discuss options for a full lighting upgrade with you.
5. Media Wall Storage: Organise Your Space
A well-designed media wall should offer ample storage for all your media wall devices, accessories and other items. Consider incorporating the following storage solutions into your media wall design:
Shelving
Open shelves can display decorative items, books, or media collections while keeping them easily accessible.
Cabinets
Conceal unsightly devices and wires with built-in cabinets that can be customised to fit your space and style. We offer both slab and shaker style cabinet doors as standard, and can offer custom options such as mirrored or panelled styles too.
Drawers
Store remote controls, cables and other small items in drawers to maintain a clean, clutter-free appearance.
6. Media Wall Decor: Personalise Your Space
Once your media wall is installed, it's time to add your personal touch. Decorate your media wall with items that reflect your personality and style, such as:
Artwork
Display your favourite paintings, prints or photographs to create a visually engaging focal point.
Plants Introduce some greenery to your wall with potted plants or hanging planters.
Mirrors
Add depth and light to your room by incorporating mirrors into your media wall design. Cine Spark are able to offer mirror backs made to measure installed at the back of shelves.
Textiles
Drape a cosy throw or display a collection of decorative pillows to add warmth and texture. We always feel like a bit of faux sheepskin or fur works well positined by an electric Media Wall fire.
