Media walls have become one of the most requested features in modern living spaces, and it’s easy to see why.
For many homes, they bring the television, storage, lighting and display space together in one neat, tailored design. They can make a room feel more considered without needing to change the whole layout.
A recent media unit we completed is a lovely example of this. Designed wall-to-wall, it has helped maximise the space and, as the client said, has actually made the room feel bigger. That’s often the real strength of a well-designed media wall. It doesn’t just add storage; it can change how the whole room feels.
This particular design was finished in Ultra Matt Light Grey, with Manor Round Knobs in Antique Brass. The result is soft, simple and elegant, with just enough warmth in the detail to keep the space feeling homely.
But the best media walls aren’t just about following a trend. They work because they make everyday living easier.
A well-planned media wall can help hide cables, reduce clutter and create storage exactly where it’s needed. Remote controls, games consoles, books, decorative pieces and everyday items can all be given a proper place, helping the room feel calmer and easier to enjoy.
They’re also a clever way to make better use of wall space. Instead of relying on separate pieces of furniture, a bespoke design can be built around the exact size and shape of the room. This is especially useful in homes with alcoves, chimney breasts, awkward corners or limited floor space.
The finish can be adapted to suit the style of your home. Some rooms suit a sleek, simple design with clean lines and hidden storage. Others benefit from open shelving, warmer tones, feature lighting or an electric fire to create a softer, more relaxed feel.
Often, it’s the simple details that make the biggest difference. The right finish, the right handles and the right proportions can help a media wall feel like it has always belonged in the room.
At Dragonville Interiors, we design and install bespoke media walls that are made around your home, your storage needs and the way you use the space.
If your living room feels cluttered, unfinished or lacking a clear focal point, a media wall could be a practical way to bring everything together.
