A custom media wall is more than just a place to mount your television. It becomes the visual anchor of your living room — combining function, storage, and style into one seamless design. At Komandor Scotland, our bespoke media units are crafted to suit your space, your routine, and your interior goals.
Before you get started, here are the key things to consider when planning a media wall that works for your home.
Start with Your Screen Size and Viewing Height
The centrepiece of any media wall is usually the television. Begin by noting your screen size and preferred viewing height. Ideally, the centre of the screen should align with your eye level when seated. This will influence how high the unit is built and how much space you have above or below for storage and display.
Decide on Open or Closed Storage
One of the major advantages of a custom unit is that you can mix open shelving with closed cupboards. Ask yourself:
- Do you want to display books, vases, or art pieces?
- Would you prefer hidden storage for remotes, games, or cables?
- Are you storing speakers, consoles, or sound systems?
Balance Style with Function
Media walls should be functional, but also beautiful. Choose finishes that reflect the character of your space. Popular choices include:
- Warm wood grains for a cosy, traditional look
- Matt or high-gloss panels for a more contemporary feel
- Contrasting open shelves in a lighter colour
- Integrated LED lighting for added ambiance
You can also explore wall cladding, floating shelves, or floor-to-ceiling panels for a statement effect.
Consider Room Size and Layout
If your room is compact, a streamlined media unit with sliding fronts or built-in shelving may work best. In larger rooms, you can create zoning by extending the unit across the full wall or including side cabinetry that wraps around a corner.
Think Long Term
A well designed media unit can evolve with your lifestyle. As technology changes, you may upgrade your television or rearrange your living space. That is why we recommend:
- Adjustable shelving for flexible display
- Modular configurations that can be added to over time
- Timeless finishes that will not go out of style
With our high quality materials and twelve year installation warranty, your media wall is built to last.
