7 Media & TV Wall Ideas

Often, a TV can be a bit of an eyesore when it’s not in use. From unorganised cables and wires to empty space surrounding the screen, it can ruin your interior aesthetic in many ways. However, with a well-thought-out TV wall, your TV screen can quickly become the centrepiece of your home. So, whether you’re looking to create the perfect entertainment space for hosting guests or want to level up your movie nights, keep reading as we walk you through our top 7 TV wall ideas.

Our Favourite TV Wall Ideas

At Furniche, we’ve been designing, producing and fitting bespoke entertainment units in Milton Keynes for over 15 years. In that time, we’ve developed an excellent understanding of what gives a TV wall that wow factor. So whether you’re styling a contemporary, modern living space or a more traditional interior, you can trust our specialists to point you in the right direction.

What Is A Media And TV Wall?

As the name suggests, a TV wall is a wall in your living space that’s dedicated to showcasing your TV. They’re designed to declutter your space and elevate its aesthetic by hiding cables, mounting the TV, and incorporating the screen with the surrounding design. They’re a great way to integrate technology into your living space without having a negative effect on the rest of the interior.

A media wall is slightly different because it is more comprehensive than a TV wall and includes storage space and technology surrounding the TV screen. They’re designed to include shelves, cabinets, and decorative elements that integrate the TV and other entertainment equipment into the overall room design.

Both a TV wall and a media wall can level up your interior in several ways. Not only will they become a focal point of any room, but they can also help enhance your interior aesthetic and create a more cohesive look. You’re free to incorporate decorative elements like stone, wood, or backlit panels to add texture and depth. Additionally, they’re a great way to optimise your available space by integrating smart storage solutions and reducing clutter. Adding a TV unit at the base of your wall lets you keep your space tidy, hide unsightly cables and create a more organised look.

Things To Consider For Your Media And TV Walls

Before we take a look at some design inspiration, there are a few things you’ll need to consider when planning your media and TV walls. These are some of the most common things we urge our customers to think about before we help them create their dream media or TV Wall:

  • Room Layout: Make sure the media wall fits the room’s size and shape and doesn’t overwhelm the space.
  • TV Size & Placement: Choose the right TV size for the viewing distance and ensure it’s mounted at a comfortable eye level.
  • Storage Needs: Plan for shelves, cabinets, or drawers to store media devices, gaming consoles, and remotes.
  • Cable Management: Ensure there’s a system in place to hide cables and keep the setup clean and organised.
  • Ventilation: Make sure there’s proper airflow around your devices to prevent overheating, especially with enclosed cabinets.
  • Lighting: Consider adding ambient or accent lighting around the media wall to reduce screen glare and create a cosy atmosphere.
  • Material & Style: Choose materials and finishes that complement the rest of your home’s decor, whether it’s wood, stone, or a sleek, modern look.
  • Sound System Integration: If you have or plan to get a surround sound system, factor in speaker placement for optimal sound quality.
  • Future-Proofing: Think about potential upgrades, like adding new devices, so you don’t outgrow the media wall too quickly.

Living Room TV Wall Ideas

Most of the media and TV walls we install at Furniche are in our customers’ living rooms because they are the focal point of most homes. Not only will a media wall in your living room wow your guests, but it will also improve the functionality of the most sociable space in your home. Check out these living room TV wall ideas for some inspiration.

LED Backdrop

This design exudes class because it’s so well thought out. The recessed shelving in the alcoves on either side of the TV mean your eyes are drawn to the screen, despite the impressive ornaments and decorations surrounding it. This media wall incorporates LED lighting perfectly to frame the TV and shelving. This, combined with the electric fireplace, creates a luxurious and warming living space.

Coordinated Fixtures

Despite having a very different interior to the the previous design, this media wall is just as effective. The homeowner has taken a holistic approach to their entertainment space, using beech wood for the shelving, cabinets, and coffee table to create a coordinated look. The white doors add a nice contrast and effectively declutter the room, freeing it from unorganised wires.

Layered Panelling

This TV wall was created by our team at Furniche in a project where we helped our clients move one step closer to their dream interior. This design features panelling along the wall, which is extremely popular because it adds a sense of luxury to any room. The TV screen sits on a raised surface framed by LED lighting to make it pop out from the wall. The panels extend down to a minimalistic TV unit that complements the design and hides the wires and devices. For more details about this TV wall, check out our case study.

Bedroom TV Wall Ideas

Despite their popularity in living rooms, media and TV walls are just as effective in bedrooms. Picture cosy movie nights under the covers or lazy mornings watching your favourite series with a cup of coffee. A media wall in the bedroom makes that possible and can even help level up your bedroom storage solutions. If you’re feeling motivated to transform your bedroom, check out our favourite bedroom TV wall ideas below.

Surrounded By Storage

Bedroom storage can be difficult to come by, and installing a media wall might seem counterintuitive if you’re looking to open up your space. However, as this design makes clear, a media wall can add plenty of storage space to your room while neatly incorporating a TV screen through a smart layout. This interior has smartly positioned the shelving and wardrobes for a highly functional storage solution.

Hidden Screen

If you’re worried about the impact of a TV screen on your bedroom’s interior design, why not incorporate sliding doors into your media wall so you can hide it when you’re not using it? The sliding doors are an excellent opportunity to enhance your bedroom’s interior, as they can take on many different styles. A lot of our bespoke furniture in Milton Keynes includes sliding doors, so check out our designs here.

Including Technology In Your Media Wall

For many, the main appeal of a media wall is to include as much tech as possible without filling their space with messy wires. So whether you’re creating your dream gaming room or an impressive home cinema, use these designs as inspiration:

Prioritise The Sound System

Many people dream of having a home cinema, and a media wall is one of the most effective ways to make that dream a reality. With floating or recessed shelving, it’s easy to integrate an impressive sound system. Additionally, a TV unit can help declutter the space so it’s free from distractions, and you can focus on whatever’s on the screen.

Ultimate Gaming Space

For the serious gamers among you, a media wall can help you fully immerse yourself in whatever you’re playing. This design makes fantastic use of wall mounts for easy access to all of the consoles without covering the wall with wires. The LEDs draw your focus towards the TV screens, and the colours can be changed to match the vibe of the game.
