Bespoke Media Wall Design in an Open Plan Living Room

Bespoke Media Wall Design in an Open Plan Living Room

19 June 2026

If you are looking for a bespoke media wall design in an open plan living room, this project is a great example of how tailored joinery can transform a space into a seamless blend of style, storage, and functionality.

Working in collaboration with Laura Gray Interiors, we designed and installed a fully custom media wall that integrates a TV, built-in speakers, an electric fire, concealed air conditioning access, display shelving, and generous storage—perfectly suited to modern family living.

Bespoke Media Wall Brief: Open Plan Living Space Design

The client wanted a modern media wall unit that would sit naturally within their open plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The design needed to be both visually striking and highly practical, incorporating multiple functions without overwhelming the space.

Key requirements included:

  • Integrated flat screen TV media wall design
  • Built-in surround sound speaker housing
  • Contemporary inset electric fire feature
  • Concealed air conditioning unit access
  • Custom storage cabinetry for family living
  • Display shelving with integrated lighting
  • Seamless finish to complement adjoining dining space

The challenge was to deliver a luxury fitted media wall that maintained clean architectural lines while accommodating essential household systems.

Custom Media Wall Design Solution

We created a bespoke fitted media wall unit using precision-made cabinetry, spray finished in “Cactus” by Neptune Paints. This carefully selected colour was chosen to complement the dining area on the opposite side of the open plan kitchen, creating a cohesive interior design flow throughout the space.

This approach ensures the media wall does not feel like a standalone feature but instead becomes part of a unified open plan interior scheme.

Hidden Access with Concealed Air Conditioning Panel

A key feature of this custom media wall design is the discreet access solution behind the television.

The central section of the unit has been engineered with hidden hinges, allowing the panel to open when required to access the air conditioning system. When closed, the mechanism is completely invisible, preserving a flawless, minimalist finish.

Incorporating hidden hinged panels behind the TV or cabinetry sections allows easy access to systems such as:

  • Air conditioning units
  • Electrical wiring
  • Internet routers
  • AV equipment

This makes the design both highly functional and maintenance-friendly, without compromising on aesthetics.

Integrated Lighting Design

To enhance atmosphere and visual interest, we installed integrated LED lighting within each shelving recess.

This creates:

  • Soft ambient evening lighting
  • Highlighted display areas for décor and family photos
  • A warm, inviting living room atmosphere
  • Subtle architectural depth within the cabinetry

Lighting plays a key role in elevating this cabinetry, turning it into a feature that feels both practical and luxurious

Integrated Electric Fire 

At the heart of the design sits a sleek contemporary inset electric fire, seamlessly built into the media wall structure.

This provides:

  • A cosy focal point for winter evenings
  • A modern alternative to traditional fireplaces
  • A balanced visual anchor beneath the TV
  • Added warmth and comfort in open plan living spaces

Built-In Storage for Family Homes

Practicality was a major consideration in this project. We incorporated bespoke storage cabinets on either side of the media wall, designed specifically for family living.

These storage units provide space for:

  • Board games
  • Toys and children’s items
  • Media equipment and accessories
  • Everyday household storage

This ensures the living space remains clutter-free while maintaining a clean, high-end finish.

The Result

The final result is a luxury bespoke media wall installation that balances technology, comfort, and design.

By carefully coordinating colour, lighting, and layout, the media wall enhances the entire open plan space, connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas into one cohesive interior.

It is a timeless design solution that works beautifully for modern family homes seeking both style and function.
