What is the Purpose of a Media Wall?

Media walls are quickly becoming an iconic statement which can enhance any living space.

They can conveniently store and hide wires, removing clutter and maintaining a clean aesthetic. You can even add a modern fire to kill two birds with one stone. Along the same vein as a feature wall, these units are the centrepiece of a room, drawing people’s attention and adding a unique feature to your living space.

What Can You Display on a Media Wall?

As media walls are tailor-made for your requirements, consider which devices you want to display or store so you can conveniently access them when required. This starts with the size of your TV, the centrepiece for the whole unit. Depending on your available space and current storage setup you may decide to display additional furniture and accessories such as plants, DVDs/CDs and photos. There are really no rules to what you can display, the only limit is your imagination. You could go for the minimal approach or maximise the available space.

What Colour Should you Paint a Media Wall?

A great option when painting your media wall is to pick a colour that differs from the other walls in the room so that this can effectively become the feature wall of the chosen room. As the main focus should be on the TV, you could stick to neutral tones such as grey or black to help your TV seamlessly blend in. On the other hand, you could choose a colour that compliments the chosen material or other decorations.
