A custom carpentry project combining a panelled feature wall with a built-in TV unit, designed and fabricated for the specific room. Built-in joinery has two advantages over bought furniture: it uses the full wall, and it hides the cables. For this project the panel layout was set out around the screen position and the media components, with cable routes and ventilation planned into the build rather than drilled afterwards. The TV mount was fixed to structure, not to panelling. The unit was fabricated to the room's actual dimensions, scribed to the wall and floor to close the gaps that give away freestanding furniture, then filled, caulked and finished. We design and build media walls, alcove units, shelving and storage joinery for homes across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
This was a custom carpentry project that combined a paneled feature wall with a built-in TV unit, designed and fabricated for one specific room. The panel layout was set out around the screen position and the media components, with cable routes and ventilation planned into the build instead of drilled afterward. The TV mount was fixed to structure, not to the paneling.
The unit was made to the room's actual dimensions, scribed to the wall and floor, then filled, caulked and finished.
Built-in joinery beats store-bought furniture on two counts: it uses the whole wall, and it hides the cables. Getting both right depends on decisions made before any wood is cut.
Choose the television before the design is drawn, or at least its maximum size. A media wall built around one screen can look wrong with the next one if no margin was allowed. Tell us about soundbars, consoles and streaming boxes too, because each needs space, airflow and a cable path.
Cabinetry and paneling need no permit. Adding or moving an outlet behind the screen is electrical work and should be done to code. We design and build media walls, alcove units, shelving and storage joinery for homes across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
