How to Combine a Media Wall and an Electric Fire Media walls are a new trend that is taking the interior design industry by storm. They are bespoke wall frames that are studs and contain integrated storage such as shelves, cabinets or drawers, and may include appliances like an electric fireplace. Add an extra dimension to your media wall by installing the Gazco eStudio-105R media wall electric fire. This stunning fire is recessed into the wall for an elegant and sophisticated look.

TV Size A media wall is an elegant method of integrating an LCD flat-screen TV, an electric fireplace, and bespoke storage in a living room decor. These stud wall frameworks often contain cabinets, shelves and drawers in addition to the TV to create a fully customized entertainment center. The electric fire is usually the focal point of a media wall. Choosing the right TV size for this bespoke installation requires careful analysis. You want a screen that's large enough to be able to be awe-inspiring but not so big that it dwarfs the fire or overpowers the room. When determining what size of TV screen will work best for your media wall, begin with the dimensions of the wall area where you plan to install the fireplace and TV. Sketch this to scale and include any windows, doors or built-in furniture arrangements. This will give you a maximum width and height within which you can design the media wall. It's also important to consider the way you plan to use your television and electric fire in conjunction. Film lovers might prefer larger screens for a cinematic viewing experience, while those who use the TV for casual watching are often able to get by using a smaller model. If you're looking to purchase an upgraded TV in the near future choosing one that is at the lower end of your ideal range can help keep your media wall from becoming outdated as technology advances. This method can spare you the hassle of reworking your custom installation if you decide to upgrade your TV.

The fireplace should be large enough to accommodate a TV, which will be set directly above the fire. The ideal choice is to choose an electric fireplace that is the same width as your TV. This will create a neat and tidy finish where the fireplace is integrated seamlessly into the TV recess. It is also possible to set up the fireplace slightly wider than the TV. This can be done too.

Cables for power, aerial cables and more can easily be hidden in these stud wall structures creating a clean and sleek appearance that's easy to keep clean.
