MEDIA WALLS

What is a Media Wall?

 

A Media Wall is a custom-built feature designed to seamlessly integrate your audio, video, gaming, and other media equipment into your home. It not only conceals cables and devices when needed, but also enhances your space with a clean, stylish finish that feels like it has always belonged.

Whether you prefer a sleek, minimal design or a bold statement feature, every Media Wall we create is bespoke—tailored to reflect your vision and lifestyle. Our designs typically fall into two categories: Chimney Breast Media Walls or Shelving and Storage Media Walls, each offering a unique balance of functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Chimney Breast Media Walls

A Chimney Breast Media Wall is typically built slightly wider than your TV, creating a balanced and elegant focal point. It can be enhanced with features such as an electric fire, a sound bar, and smart backlighting behind the TV. The structure naturally provides the ideal cavity for discreetly running cables, ensuring a sleek, clutter-free finish.

While simpler than our larger bespoke Media Walls, Chimney Breast designs still offer endless opportunities for personalisation. From fire installation options and mantel styles to paint colours and unique finishes, every detail can be tailored to your taste. At Home Cinema Interiors, we’ll work closely with you—having as many design discussions as needed—to ensure you’re completely confident and excited about your wall before we begin.

Our Media Wall designs are entirely bespoke, crafted around each client’s individual needs and preferences. When designed to complement the architecture and décor of your home, they do more than simply house equipment—they add character, reduce visual clutter, and create the impression of thicker, more substantial walls, lending a sense of solidity and permanence to the space.

A well-designed Media Wall doesn’t just elevate your living environment today; it can also become a standout feature that adds value and appeal should you ever decide to sell your home.

Shelving and Storage Media Walls

Shelving and Storage Media Walls typically begin at around three metres wide but can be designed to span the full length of your available wall space.

Shelving can take many forms—built-in cubes, floating shelves, or glass shelves—and larger Media Walls often feature alcoves that are perfect for showcasing shelving, log stores, pendant lights, artwork, and more. We’ve even incorporated external windows into some of our designs. Built-in cube shelving is particularly popular, as it allows for the installation of downlights, enabling each section to be illuminated with smart bulbs—giving you complete control over brightness and colour at the touch of a button.

Storage is a highly requested feature, with drawers and cupboards seamlessly integrated into our Media Walls to provide practical solutions for keeping everyday living room essentials close at hand but neatly out of sight.

The larger scale of these Media Walls also opens the door for a wide range of interior design finishes, from slat panelling, wood or stone worktops, and tiling or brick effects, to custom paintwork, mirrors, and more.

At Home Cinema Interiors, every Media Wall is designed and built uniquely for each client—tailored to their style, space, vision, and interior preferences.

    Media Wall with alcoves

    Our Media Walls installations include...

    • Building of the structure

      The Media Wall begins with a wooden frame. A bespoke build depending on the size and features of the Media Wall.

    • Installation of concealed cabling

      The cable and electrical installation and management begins at this stage. Media Walls create the perfect cavities and space for concealed cables.

    • Boarding and plastering

      The Media Wall is then boarded and plastered. At this point it begins to seamlessly become part of the room.

    • Painting

      We can match the paint on your Media Wall to the rest of the room, or alternatively paint the whole room.

    • Lighting

      We offer a range of lighting options including back lit screens, ceiling lighting and shelving lighting - all can be incorporated into your Media Wall. We also specialise in smart lighting systems.

    • Shelving

      As each Media Wall design is bespoke, we can incorporate surrounding shelves, cupboards and drawers depending on your needs and how you imagine the finished look.

    • Sound bar installation/ceiling mounted speakers

      Sound bars and speakers are an important part of any AV installation, and quality sound is an integral part of our Media Walls.

    • Inset electric fire installation

      You don’t need to choose between TV or fireplace to anchor your living rooms. Beautiful inset electric fireplaces can really bring the wow factor.

    From start to finish Home Cinema Interiors have been great to deal with. Their professional manner in the showroom to Josh and his team on site. Can thoroughly recommend them. Our media wall is even better than we had envisioned.

    Upon seeing a friends 2 TV and sound equipment installations, I wished to move an existing TV set up and add a self purchased soundbar. So I contacted Home Cinema Interiors who were helpful and booked a convenient timed evening appointment. A survey and detailed competitive quotation promptly followed. Date booked to avoid/accommodate a homeworker. Superbly clean and careful preparation on the day, resulting in all cabling moved and hidden from view. Stunning result and hence 5 * review. Wholeheartedly recommended. Brilliant courteous, competent team.

    We recently used this company for a full refresh of our lounge interior, including ceiling replastering, full redecoration, and the resanding and refinishing of an original wooden floor — and the results have been excellent.

    From the outset, the team were professional, punctual, and easy to deal with. They communicated clearly, turned up on time each day, and worked efficiently throughout. Just as importantly, they kept everything clean and tidy, which made a real difference during the process.

    The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. The restored wooden floor, in particular, has been brought back to life and has completely transformed the space. The attention to detail across all aspects of the job really shows.

    Overall, a reliable and highly professional service that delivers exactly what it promises. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    We weren't sure how to go about the installation of a media wall, but I came across the details for Home Cinema Interiors and so glad I did. From the first phone call through to completion of the job, the whole team were fantastic. Josh is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work, Charlotte was so helpful guiding us through the design and every member of the install team did an amazing job ... professional, quick, clean and tidy. Attention to detail was second to none and they bent over backwards to meet all our requests. I would have no hesitation is using the team again or recommending their services.

    Really impressed with the company. From first meeting Josh, you can tell he is passionate about what he does and attention to detail. Everything we wanted, including late changes were taken in their stride. Everyone who represented the company were polite, courteous and finished the job to a high standard. We are really happy with the final product and it has transformed a room we barely spent any time in. I would not hesitate in recommending this company to anyone,

    From our initial enquiry with Kelly and Charlotte in the wonderful Home Cinema Interior Basingstoke showroom to completion of our media wall the overall customer service and work has been 10/10. Nothing was any trouble for Charlotte in the office throughout the planning process. The wealth of knowledge Charlotte and the installation team have is impressive and to see the media wall I have been wanting come to life after a lot of decision making was special. We love it!!
    Upon installation the engineers were always prompt, on time and were all polite, friendly, and very hard working.
    I would definitely without hesitation recommend HCI to create your media wall or any other home interior improvements you won't be disappointed.

    We loved this place. Josh and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They were patient & helpful with us through the design process as we iterated from a rough concept to a design we loved. We started at just a fire & TV surround but ended up getting a some new flooring and some decorating at very reasonable prices. The installation team came soon after we had signed the deal and were really professional and courteous at our home. The finished product is fantastic, and we really appreciated their attention to detail and Josh’s willingness to listen and tweak things as needed. We would score them 10 out of 10 and would definitely highly recommend them.

    We were so pleased with our media wall (reviewed earlier) we invited Josh and his fabulous team back to update our study. They installed woodup panels to one wall and lowered the ceiling installing colour changing automated lighting with full decoration (see photos). We then went on to ask Josh to also install woodup panels in our master bedroom which we are thrilled with. Three great projects all completed to a high standard with attention to detail. Highly recommend!

    Utterly professional service from beginning to end. Josh and his whole team were outstanding and we are delighted with our new media wall which has exceeded our expectations. It has been a pleasure working with Josh who was open to all our ideas and nothing was too much trouble. The schedule of works we received prior to commencement of work was invaluable as we were kept informed on who would be attending on what days. Highly recommend!

    Utter professionalism. Josh, Chris, Charlotte and team advised, designed, built and installed this bespoke media wall. Plus transforming the room its in. The sound system is built in and integrated into a redecorated room which was immaculately undertaken by them at the same time. The visionary touches ranged from complementing radiators to the door hinges. The work ethic displayed by every single team member has been exemplary. As has been the ongoing support service from initial meetings at the showroom to follow up after work has been completed. They provide a one stop shop for any project at the highest levels of quality.

    Josh and team have completely transformed our ground floor; it is now space we love to spend time with family and friends.

    The organisation of work (media wall, flooring, painting & decorating), alongside great design ideas made the whole process very easy. Ultimately the quality of work is outstanding.

    Thanks again Josh and team!

    Josh and his team first did our first media wall 12 months ago and it transformed a rather looking plain wall into a beautiful media wall and it was very much the centrepiece of the home.
    When we moved earlier this year we got Josh and his wonderful team to do two media rooms redesign our bedroom.
    The care they show is first class along with the attention to detail .
    There workman are first class alongside the preparation and planning of the work which is organised by Charlotte and the team in the office..
    I think they are the best people in the industry and if you are looking to have media walls or any home upgrades look no further than this wonderful team and company

    Great experience from beginning to end. Was recommended Home Cinema Interiors by friends in the village we live in. Richer Sound also recommended them completely independently. Lots of elements made it one of the best overall “big spend” experiences I’ve had in a very, very long time…

    1. Great showroom where I felt really looked after, welcomed, and listened to
    2. Amazing tech/AV knowledge (admittedly I’m a bit thick with this stuff, but Josh is a legend)
    3. Charlotte and rest of staff always super helpful and very patient (we struggled with decisions!)
    4. Quality of all work was excellent. Painter they used was incredible!
    5. Overall finished outcome/install spot on, not a single aspect I could fault (and I’m picky)

    Most importantly of all, however, was just the level of genuine care for a great outcome, which is usually hard to quantify… I’ve had my fair share of builders and trades people - ranging from average to great (as usually use recommendations), and Josh is absolutely next level. At one stage in the final setting up, he stayed until 20:30 at night (yes, you read that right), endlessly tweaking the final setting up, all so my son and I could get it working perfectly. He never once seemed fazed or grumbled and honestly, genuinely only seemed concerned with ensuring we were “100% happy with everything and feeling totally comfortable with how to use it”… next level above and beyond service.

    Not cheap, and I could’ve got a local chippy to do a similar job for 80% of the price (so they alleged), but couldn’t be happier with the overall outcome and if I had to do it all over again wouldn’t hesitate for a second about using Josh and team. If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, and with a home cinema system you might as well get the best job you can afford… So if you can afford Josh and team you’d be nuts not to use them. Legends!

    Where to start, I found Home Cinema Interiors on Instagram and booked an appointment with Josh. Josh attended my home and explained the different designs etc. The process was simple and Josh arranged absolutely everything from start to finish. Josh and his team, were amazing, tidy, on time and polite throughout the build. I would also like to thank Charlotte from Home Cinemas who helped with choosing the colours of the walls and wood panelling throughout. Once again, I would highly recommend them and will be using them again shortly with other projects in my home.
