Here at Dean Watson, we have been making bespoke furniture for over 20 years, and one of our favourite challenges is turning a tricky corner into the heart of a room.
A corner media wall does exactly that. It saves space, hides the mess, and makes a beautiful focal point.
Whether you call it a corner TV unit design, a built-in corner TV wall, or a floating corner media wall, the right approach can completely change how your room feels.
Here are seven of our favourite corner media wall ideas we recommend and build for our clients in the UK.
1. L-Shaped Wraparound Corner Media Wall
If you want to use both walls that meet in the corner, an L-shaped corner media wall works brilliantly.
The TV sits on one wall, with shelving or cupboards wrapping around to the other. This type of corner TV unit design draws the eye around the room, making the space look intentional and balanced.
Why it works:
Maximises awkward corner space
Adds symmetry without feeling bulky
Works for large or small TVs
Design tip: Use the same materials and finish on both sides for a seamless look, and add LED strips to highlight the corner.
2. Floating Corner TV Unit
For a lighter, more modern look, a floating corner media wall keeps everything off the floor.
The TV is mounted neatly on the wall with a slim floating shelf beneath or around it. This corner TV unit design leaves the floor clear, making the room feel bigger and less cluttered.
Why it works:
Perfect for small rooms or minimal styles
Easy to clean underneath
Looks sleek and contemporary
Design tip: Hide all cables inside the wall for a truly clean finish.
3. Media Wall with Bay Window Seat
A media wall with bay window seat makes the most of two features in one clever design. By building the TV, storage, and shelving into the corner next to a bay window, and adding a made-to-measure bench seat under the glass, you create a cosy, multifunctional area.
The window seat becomes a perfect spot for reading, relaxing with a coffee, or chatting with friends, while the media wall brings the entertainment right into the same space. With cushions and built-in storage under the seat, it’s as practical as it is inviting.
Why it works:
Makes full use of the bay window area, which often goes unused
Combines comfort, storage, and entertainment in one cohesive design
Brings natural light into the main seating area, balancing the TV wall visually
Design tip: Choose fabrics and finishes for the bench seat that tie in with the media wall , for example, matching the wood grain of the shelving or echoing the colour of the cabinetry, to make the whole space feel unified.

4. Custom Alcove Media Wall
If you’ve got a tight recess or unused space, it’s the perfect spot for a built-in corner TV wall.
Here, the TV sits flush with the wall, framed by bespoke shelving or cabinetry made to fit the alcove’s depth exactly. We can add folding doors to the media wall so when not in use, the recess does not feel cluttered.
Why it works:
- Uses existing architectural features
- Looks neat and purposeful
- Easy to integrate with surrounding décor
Design tip: Paint the back panel of the alcove in a contrasting colour to make the TV area pop.
5. Curved Room Media Wall
Curved walls can be a challenge, but they also offer a chance to create something truly unique. A curved room media wall follows the shape of the room, so it blends in naturally instead of fighting against the architecture.
We design these by carefully matching the curve of the wall with custom panels, shelving, and a made-to-measure TV mount. The result is a smooth, flowing look that works beautifully in both modern and traditional homes.
Why it works:
- Makes the most of unusual room shapes
- Creates a sleek, continuous line
- Perfect for large bay windows or rounded living rooms
Design tip: Use flexible LED strip lighting to trace the curve and highlight the shape — it really makes the design stand out in the evenings.
6. Bedroom Corner Media Wall
A bedroom corner media wall is a great way to bring entertainment into your room without losing valuable space. By tucking the TV and storage into a corner, you free up the rest of the room for furniture, wardrobes, or simply a more open feel.
We often design these for people who work from home, and they can double up as a mini office space. Sometimes we’ll include wardrobes for clothes, and plenty of drawer space.
Why it works:
- Saves space in smaller bedrooms
- Keeps the TV neatly out of the way when not in use
- Can double as extra storage
Design tip: If you want the TV to disappear completely, we can build sliding panels or a hinged cover that matches your décor — perfect for keeping a calm, restful atmosphere.
7. Corner Media Wall with Built-In Bar or Drinks Cabinet
If you love to entertain, combining your corner media wall with a built-in bar or drinks cabinet is a smart way to make the most of the space. The TV becomes the centrepiece for sports nights, movie evenings, or music videos, while the integrated bar keeps everything you need close at hand.
We can design these with discreet doors to hide bottles and glassware, or open shelving with feature lighting for a more glamorous look. Materials like mirrored backs, glass shelves, or warm timber finishes add a premium feel.
Why it works at home:
- Combines entertainment and hospitality in one spot
- Makes the corner a social hub during gatherings
- Keeps drinks organised and within easy reach
Why it works in hospitality settings: In hotels, bars, lounges, or even high-end waiting areas, this design turns an unused corner into a revenue-generating focal point. Guests can enjoy the screen while having quick access to drinks service, and the integrated look feels far more stylish than a freestanding TV and bar trolley. It’s a polished, space-saving solution that blends entertainment and service seamlessly.
Design tip: Add a small fridge or wine cooler behind closed doors to keep drinks perfectly chilled without spoiling the clean lines of the media wall.
Why Bespoke Corner TV Unit Design Beats Flat-Pack
Corners can be awkward, and most shop-bought TV units aren’t made to fit them perfectly. A bespoke corner TV wall means every measurement, finish, and storage detail is designed for your room.
With a custom build, you’ll get:
- Perfect fit for your space
- Hidden cables and power points
- A design that matches your style exactly
- Long-lasting craftsmanship
It’s not just furniture — it’s a feature that adds value and character to your home.
