Media Walls With Cupboards
Media walls with cupboards can make your home feel more welcoming and add organisation to busy rooms. A media wall is usually where you keep your TV, gaming consoles, and other bits and pieces that help you relax and unwind, these do not need to be exclusive to living room spaces either.
Adding cupboards to your media wall can give you extra storage, help you hide cables, and free up space around the room. That way, you’re left with a cleaner look that still shows off your own style. We have helped many people design media walls with cupboards, and no design or installation is ever the same.
Media walls with cupboards aren’t just limited to living rooms. We’ve built them in bedrooms, home offices, and even playrooms, giving people a dedicated area for screens, speakers, and other devices that they use every day. By placing everything in one tidy spot, you can keep the rest of the room free for other activities or furniture. If you’ve ever wanted a more relaxing space without the distraction of loose cables or stacks of DVDs, a media wall might be the perfect solution.

What Our Customers Say
Why Choose a Media Wall with Cupboards?
You might be wondering what difference cupboards can really make. The simple answer is that they’re great for keeping everything neat and tidy. If you’ve ever struggled to find a spot for extra DVDs, game controllers, or even the kids’ toys, cupboards can offer a place for all those things that usually end up scattered around. You can shut the doors and forget about them until you need them, which can be a big help when you have guests coming over. Having dedicated storage also means your main seating area won’t end up cluttered, so you can relax without worrying about constantly finding a home for any accessories.
Cupboards also let you hide away cables that often come with TVs, speakers, and streaming devices. When they’re tucked behind closed doors, you don’t have to deal with tangles of wires every time you want to watch a film. It’s one of those small details that can make a room more organised. Plus, if you choose the right style of doors, something with a gloss finish or a wooden surface to match walls, you can create a look that blends seamlessly with the rest of your decor.
It’s not all about hiding things away, though. Sometimes you’ll want to display a favourite vase or family photo in an open nook next to the TV. That’s when combining open shelving with cupboards can work brilliantly.
Our Design Process
Chat and Plan
We’ll discuss your needs and the style you like, and we also take a look at your space to gather measurements.
Design and Refine
We will show you drawings or 3D images, and we’ll tweak them until you’re happy with how the media wall unit looks.
Manufacturing
As every media wall we create is bespoke, we often need to order the raw materials required. Once this is on, we manufacture the media wall in our Hampshire based studio.
Installation
My team will create your media wall with cupboards, and then install it with as little disruption to your home as possible. We also deliver nationwide in the UK.
Our Design Approach
When we first chat with a client about building a media wall with cupboards, we like to ask a few simple questions: What do you want to store? How do you like to relax? What’s the overall style of your home? From there, we sketch out some ideas together. Maybe you need multiple cupboards for movies or board games, or a tall cupboard for storing blankets and pillows if the media wall is in the bedroom. If you’re an avid gamer, you might prefer a design that allows you to keep your consoles at the perfect height, with ventilation to stop them from overheating. These little details make all the difference when enjoying your space day after day.
Once we have a decent grasp of what you’re after, we move on to creating a design that fits your room’s dimensions and layout. We try to keep the overall look balanced, so the TV doesn’t feel lost among cupboards and shelves. We might position a pair of cupboards on each side of the screen, or maybe we’ll go for a run of cupboards across the bottom with open shelves above. It all depends on the shape and size of your room and how you like to use it. Some people want a very modern look, with high-gloss doors and sleek lines, while others prefer a softer style with wood grains and a more classic feel. Whatever your preference, our goal is to create something you’ll love for years to come.
After we settle on a design, our designer will put together some detailed plans or 3D visuals. That way, you can see how your media wall will look before we cut any wood or pick up a paintbrush. This is the best time to make any adjustments because changes on the computer screen are much easier (and cheaper) than changes after we’ve started building. Once everything looks right, we get to work in our studio where we specialise in creating bespoke media walls.
Quality and Craftsmanship
Every cupboard and shelf we make is built to last because we believe in using sturdy materials and solid construction methods. You don’t want doors that sag after a year or shelves that can’t bear the weight of your belongings. This doesn’t mean the design has to be overly bulky, there are plenty of lightweight materials that are also durable.
From picking the right type of wood or board to ensuring hinges and handles are secure. Our work is not only practical but also reflects a level of care that makes your home feel special. Every one of our media walls is handmade using a mix of both traditional carpentry techniques and the latest precision cutting machinery.
Custom media walls can be as elaborate or as simple as you’d like. Some clients want built-in lighting, glass doors, or a special place for a soundbar, which can increase the cost. Others might just need a couple of cupboards and a space for the TV. The idea is that it’s designed around you, so you’re not paying for features you don’t need. Whatever we do, the result is a piece of built-in furniture that fits your room like a glove, rather than a one-size-fits-all unit.

Ideas for Style and Layout
Designing a media wall with cupboards doesn’t have to follow a single formula. There are endless ways to arrange cupboards, shelves, and decorative features.
You might like a symmetrical approach, with identical cupboards on each side of the TV and a mix of open and closed shelves in the middle. That kind of layout can feel balanced and calm. On the other hand, an asymmetrical design might suit a more modern or artistic feel. You could place cupboards on just one side of the wall, or stagger the heights to create a unique visual pattern.
We have worked with clients who wanted their media wall to blend in so well that you hardly notice it’s there. In those cases, we paint the cupboards to match the walls, keep handles to a minimum, and maybe add a thin frame around the TV to tie everything together. It ends up looking more like an intentional architectural feature than a piece of furniture.
Others want to draw attention to the media wall, treating it like a statement piece. They might choose cupboard doors in a bold colour or a striking veneer to make it really stand out. The beauty of a custom design is that you can choose whichever approach makes you happiest.
Day-to-Day Benefits
You might be thinking, “Do I really need a custom media wall with cupboards?” It’s a fair question. The best way I can answer is by saying it can genuinely change how you feel about your living space. When everything has a place to go, like spare cables, boxes of DVDs, or random knick-knacks, you’ll spend less time wondering where to put things and more time enjoying the room. This is especially handy if you have kids or a busy life, because clutter can build up fast. With the right cupboards, you just open a door, pop your items in, and you’re done.
Handy Pointers for a Great Design
- Think about lighting: Soft LED strips can highlight decor or help you see inside cupboards at night. Overhead spotlights might be useful if your room doesn’t get much natural light.
- Try a mix of open and closed storage: Keep frequently used or decorative items on open shelves and hide less attractive gear behind cupboard doors.
Remember, a good design should fit your lifestyle. If you prefer a minimal look, you might only want a couple of cupboards. If you have loads of books or board games, you could add bigger cupboards or adjustable shelves. There’s no right or wrong way to arrange it, so long as it works for you.
