A TV on a table, along with scattered devices like game consoles and Sky boxes, takes up valuable space and makes your living room feel smaller and cluttered.

Building Media walls are more complex than typical home projects because they require precise measurements and careful planning.
This is needed to integrate multiple elements, including screens, speakers, and storage units, into a cohesive structure.
Even a slight miscalculation can disrupt alignment, leading to instability or poor fit.
Unlike simple DIY projects, our Essex media walls demand expertise in carpentry, electrical work, and design to ensure functionality along with safety.
Attempting to build one without experience often results in visible cables, improper support for heavy equipment, and unfinished looks that detract from the room.
Our team of media wall builders have years of experience crafting bespoke media walls, handling every aspect from initial design to installation with precision.
We provide the necessary expertise in all trades involved, ensuring each component is correctly measured, fitted, and secured.
We deliver professional media walls in Maldon tailored to your needs, saving you time, preventing costly errors, and delivering a finished media wall that transforms your space.
Size is a key consideration in media wall design, as it directly impacts functionality, aesthetics, and cost. Common sizes range from compact 1.5-metre walls to larger installations over 3 meters.
Larger walls create a strong focal point but require more space. However, they can accommodate extra features like shelves and cabinets, allowing for organized storage and added visual interest, though they may dominate smaller rooms.
In contrast, smaller media walls maintain an open feel but may lack storage for devices and decor. Thus it is important to strike the right balance based on the size and location of the space.
Media walls with shelves offer storage space and a layered look, while shelf-free designs provide a cleaner, minimalist appearance.
Larger walls typically increase costs due to the extra materials and labor involved. Choosing the right size means balancing your room’s dimensions, storage needs, and budget, ensuring a functional design that enhances the room’s look without overwhelming it.
Design Options
Media walls offer numerous design options, including shelves, cupboards, and dedicated areas for sound systems, which add both functionality and style.
Shelves and cupboards provide organized storage for items like books, decor, and electronics, keeping the space neat. Integrating a sound system compartment enhances audio quality while keeping equipment hidden for a streamlined look.
Lighting is another impactful feature, often placed around the TV, along shelf edges, or as backlighting. This soft illumination adds warmth, reduces eye strain during TV viewing, and creates an inviting ambiance.
Well-placed lighting can transform the media wall into a functional and visually engaging centerpiece, elevating the overall atmosphere and making the living room feel more immersive and refined.
A painted finish is a popular choice for media walls, but other options like wood veneers, textured panels, or stone cladding offer unique styles. Wood veneers add warmth and suit rustic or contemporary spaces, while stone cladding brings a modern, industrial look.
Textured panels create depth and are ideal for minimalist or modern interiors. These alternatives to paint can add character and act as a focal point, enhancing the room’s aesthetic.
Color options are vast, with neutrals like gray, beige, or white blending seamlessly, while bold shades like navy or charcoal create contrast.
Panel finishes are particularly suited to interiors seeking texture without overwhelming decor. To ensure the finish complements the living room, it’s essential to consider existing colors, furniture, and textures for cohesion.
A well-chosen finish not only completes the media wall but also enhances the room’s overall design, creating a polished and integrated look.
WORKING TOGETHER
Although it’s completely up to you, many customers have told us they prefer a media wall in the center of the room, as opposed to the sides.
A lot of people tend to have an existing fireplace in the middle of the living room. Before starting a media wall, this will need to be removed; and a stud wall will need to be built.
We always recommend choosing a media wall fire that matches the size of your TV, as this provides the most aesthetic appeal.
The same applies if you have a stove/wood burner in your chimney breast. This will have to come out beforehand for safety reasons.

About us
Our company was founded by a builder with over 40 years in the construction industry, beginning in the early 1980s.
Over decades, he has mastered essential trades like carpentry, plastering, tiling, and painting.
His dedication to quality led to a successful plastering business in Essex, where he earned nearly 50 five-star reviews, reflecting his craftsmanship and customer focus.
Recognising the rising demand for media walls since 2020, he launched this specialized company, seeing media walls as a feature likely to become a staple in modern homes.
Later with their growing popularity, he aimed to bring his expertise to this evolving design need, creating tailored, high-quality media walls that merge functionality with style.
Given the importance of electrical work in media wall installations, we partner with a skilled electrician to handle essential components like TV sockets and shelf lighting, ensuring each wall is secure and fully operational.
Banking on our decades of experience, we turn ideas into reality with precision and efficiency, overseeing every detail from design to final installation for a seamless, high-standard result that enhances your space.
We don’t supply the fire for media walls directly, but we can recommend reliable local suppliers who specialize in this.
By choosing a local company, you have the advantage of visiting their showroom, where you can see and compare various styles and features in person, ensuring the fire complements your media wall perfectly.
This approach in our experience provides a clearer idea of size, design, and heat output, which can be difficult to gauge online.
We believe that in-store shopping offers a better experience, allowing customers to find exactly what suits their preferences and space needs.
Also, our trusted local recommendations, means you’re assured of quality products and expert advice to complete your media wall.
Below are some of the areas we serve in Essex. Please keep in mind that we also travel to other areas in Essex. If you don't live in the areas below, we can still help build your media wall.
The first step in building a media wall is constructing the stud work, which forms the structural framework.
This involves skilled carpentry to ensure precise measurements and support for all components.
Carpentry is crucial because inaccuracies can compromise the stability and alignment of the entire installation.
Building the stud work is highly skilled due to the need for exact dimensions and understanding of load-bearing structures.
Before we begin, we'll need details from you, such as the TV size and any additional features like shelves or sound systems.
This process may create some mess, but we protect your furniture and flooring with coverings and ensure a thorough clean up afterward.
The next step in building a media wall is boarding and plastering, which solidifies the structure and prepares it for the final finish.
Unlike ceiling boarding, media wall boarding requires precise cutouts for components like TVs, shelves, and wiring.
Plastering is typically necessary to create a smooth, seamless surface ready for paint.
However, if you opt for a panel finish, plastering can be skipped, as the panels themselves provide the final aesthetic.
This choice allows for flexibility in design while ensuring the media wall maintains a polished look that aligns with the customer’s preferred style.
The final step in completing a media wall is adding the finish—either paint or panels.
For painted finishes, we ensure the color is carefully chosen to complement or contrast with the existing room decor, based on your preference.
If a different color is desired, we can customize the media wall to make it a standout feature.
Popular color choices include neutrals for cohesion or darker shades for a bold effect.
If panels are chosen, they add texture and depth, enhancing the room's style.
Each finish is applied meticulously to ensure a flawless, professional appearance that aligns with the customer’s vision.
Here you can find the most common frequenty asked questions we get about media walls. You can also click the button below to find answer to more related questions about your project.
Building media walls in Maldon typically takes 3-5 days to complete, depending on design complexity and additional features.
MDF is a sturdy, durable material ideal for supporting heavier items, making it a great choice for the bottom of shelves on a media wall. In contrast, plasterboard is lightweight and easy to install, providing a smooth, paint-ready surface for the wall structure. Ultimately, the choice depends on the customer’s preferences for functionality and finish.
The depth of a media wall typically measures around 400mm, but this can vary based on design preferences and the equipment being installed. Larger TVs or integrated features like shelving, fireplaces, or sound systems may require additional depth to ensure everything fits securely and functions well. As media wall builders we will customise the depth to accommodate your needs and the media wall’s intended use, balancing aesthetics with practical requirements.
Yes, a media wall often requires ventilation, especially if it includes electronics like TVs, sound systems, or an electric fireplace. As seasoned media wall builders we can tell you that proper ventilation prevents overheating by allowing air to circulate around these devices, protecting them from potential damage. Ventilation can be incorporated discreetly, using vent panels or gaps that blend with the design, ensuring functionality without compromising the wall's appearance.
Yes, if the wall uses dry lining, it will need reinforcement with MDF to ensure a secure structure. Reinforcing provides a solid fixing for the stud work, which is essential for safely supporting heavier elements like TVs and shelving. Strong reinforcement ensures durability and stability, especially when mounting heavy equipment, ensuring durability.
Media walls are unlikely to go out of fashion. As interior design trends increasingly focus on functionality, technology integration, and clean aesthetics. Modern homes favour minimalist, clutter-free spaces that seamlessly incorporate entertainment systems, making media walls an ideal solution. As technology advances and TVs continue to remain the centre of any home entertainment system, media walls will ensure both style and practicality. As design trends evolve, media walls can be customised to suit various styles, ensuring they remain a versatile and timeless choice.
