Thinking of a media wall?

If you’re thinking about adding a media wall to your space, there are several important factors to consider, as well as a general idea of the costs involved. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. Choosing Your Design: Begin your design journey on Pinterest and other social media platforms. They are excellent sources of inspiration. However, it’s crucial to have a budget in mind from the start to avoid any surprises down the line.
2. Budgeting: Typically, the starting cost for the structure of a media wall is around £1,000. Keep in mind, this price can vary based on customizations such as the number of shelves, type of lighting, and other features.
3. Selecting Key Components: Before approaching any tradesperson, decide on the essentials like the type of fireplace and television you want. These choices will significantly influence the design and functionality of your media wall.
4. Professional Installation Recommended: While it might be tempting to tackle this as a DIY project, we advise against it. The construction of a media wall involves considering multiple tolerances and allowances that can significantly impact both time and cost. Professional installation ensures a seamless finish and avoids the common pitfalls of a self-managed project.

By keeping these points in mind, you’ll be well on your way to creating a stunning media wall that complements your living space perfectly.
