Pros and cons of a media wall
Media walls, growing vastly in popularity over the last decade, are becoming the go-to-storage solution for your living space! These wall designs are made to hold a variety of belongs including TV, speakers, consoles and shelving. They can truly elevate a space and remove clutter if fitted well. Although, it’s important to note they might not be right for everyone, and it’s essential to understand the pros and cons of a media wall to weigh up your decision. Luckily, we’ve provided our expert advice to help guide you towards the best solution for your needs. Read on to find out more…
Increase in space
Firstly, arguably one of the biggest benefits of installing a media wall is the increase in space and storage. The built-in cabinets and shelves provide ample space to put those miscellaneous items. Often large cabinets and draws are used instead to house these objects. However, by installing a media wall, this leaves your floor space clear to use and opens up your room. A great solution for those with smaller homes.
The added benefit of being able to hide wires and cables is another way to keep the area looking clean and tidy. No more hanging cables or accidents from exposed wires!
Think about the future
On the other hand, it is important to note that a media wall is a fixed feature and needs to be carefully thought out. When placing the wall, considerations such as glare on the tv, sofa placements and future plans need to be made. Additionally, if you enjoy rearranging your room often, this could limit your room structure. A commitment is needed for a media wall, as well as lots of planning, meaning this process shouldn’t be rushed.
Customisable
Alternatively, a media wall does come with plenty of custom options, enabling you to tailor towards your needs and create a structure that suits your lifestyle. Some of these include choosing between a wall-mounted versus recessed TV, built-in speakers or a soundbar, LED lighting or accent finishes, and concealed or open shelving. Being able to create a bespoke structure means it will suit your space better, giving you peace of mind this media wall will stand the test of time.
Altering your selling price?
Finally, a big consideration when altering your home is how this affects its selling price. You’d be glad to hear a media wall is a sought-after asset with buyers these days and can increase your property value nicely. However, it’s important to note this is only applicable to well designed and crafted media walls. Some inexperienced builders may use the wrong techniques or materials, leaving you with poor execution and a bad finish. This can in fact lead to the opposite, putting buyers off as it’s another expense.
