Creation of a Bespoke Media Wall

A while ago I was commissioned to design a bespoke media wall unit for a clients living room. The brief was for a contemporary and clean design with storage and shelving for decorative items to be placed creating a central focus for the room.

I presented my clients with a number of different sketch designs and created 3D sketches of the furniture placing it in situ to allow them to more clearly understand the scale and future look of the finished product. A wall hung ‘floating’ design was chosen which included 3 storage cabinets and shelving spaced around the TV. Finishing touches were added to the design such as warm LED strips concealed within the shelves to illuminate her decorative items and to create a warm glow in the evenings.

Working alongside my local furniture maker we finalised the measurements and finishes, agreed on final pricing and schedule the fitting of the furniture. And Ta da! The finished media unit appeared with my services taking the stress out of the process and creating a bespoke item which ticked all of the boxes!

So what kind of things should be considered when selecting your new sofa? Of course there’s the size; from fitting it through the door way to ensuring it doesn’t over crowed the room and block the flow, plus crucially the correct seat depth for a comfortable lounge. How about the style? For example will you be seating guests and therefore need a slightly more formal style or do you want to cozy down with your feet up to watch a movie in front of the fire at the end of a busy day? Fabrics can also be a tricky decision especially when you throw in to the mix children and pets! Then there’s the colour, leg style, height, filling material, price and manufacturers guarantee. Phew! Who knew it could all be so complex. But as a I mentioned before…it doesn’t have to be if you give me a call!
