The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Media Wall Specification

Can a Media Wall Be Installed in a Room with a Chimney Breast?

Yes, a media wall can absolutely be installed in a room with a chimney breast, and in many cases, it can enhance the look of the space. Here’s how:

1. Utilise the Chimney Breast as a Focal Point

The chimney breast naturally draws the eye, making it a great place to mount the TV or incorporate a fireplace into the media wall design

2. Build Around the Chimney Breast:

If the chimney breast protrudes, a stud frame can be extended across the full width of the wall to create a flat, streamlined surface for the media wall

This design hides the chimney breast while providing extra space for shelving, lighting, and concealed wiring

Maintain Ventilation

If the chimney breast is still functional (e.g., for a gas or solid-fuel fire), ventilation and clearance guidelines must be strictly followed

Electric fireplaces are often the safest option in this scenario, as they don’t require a flue or chimney access

Tip: If the chimney is purely decorative or unused, it provides additional flexibility for integrating a media wall and you can either design the media wall around it or conceal it entirely for a clean, modern finish

By planning ahead and addressing these key requirements, you can create a functional and visually stunning focal point that fits seamlessly into your space
