How to Combine a Media Wall and an Electric Fire
Media walls are a modern trend that are taking the interior design industry by storm. They are custom-designed wall panels that can be fitted with integrated storage such as shelves cabinets, drawers, or shelves. They can also include appliances like an electric fireplace.
Add an extra dimension to your media wall with the Gazco eStudio 105R media wall electric fire. This stunning fire is recessed into the wall for an elegant and sophisticated look. It also provides stunning flame visuals with or without heat.
TV Size
A media wall is a beautiful method of integrating the flat-screen TV, electric fireplace and bespoke storage in a living room decor. It's common for these stud wall framework installations to incorporate shelves, cupboards and drawers alongside the TV, resulting in a fully customized entertainment center. For many, the centrepiece of the media wall is an elegant electric fire. The proper size of the TV is important for this custom installation. You need a screen big enough to be immersive, but not so large that it engulfs the fire or takes over the room.
When determining which TV screen size will work best for your media wall, begin with the dimensions of the wall area in which you're planning to put the fireplace and TV. Sketch it out to scale and include any doors, windows or furniture arrangements. This will give you the best width and height parameters within which you can design your media wall.
It is also important to consider how you plan to use your electric fire and TV. Film lovers may prefer a large screen to enjoy a cinematic viewing experience, whereas those who use the TV for entertainment purposes can often get by with a smaller screen.
If you're looking to purchase an additional TV in the near future choosing one that is at the lower end of your ideal range can help prevent your media wall from becoming outdated as technology improves. This will help you avoid having to re-install your custom installation in the event that your TV's model changes.
