There is an abundance of possibilities when it comes to media walls, with TV’s being the most common feature, therefore it’s not surprising they’re growing so exponentially as an interior design trend. The additional elements such as shelving and other electronic integrations also contribute to the growing trend of media walls.

With more and more houses being built without chimneys, homeowners are looking for other options to add character and warmth to their living spaces.
