A neutral finish.
A striking contrast.

Our latest installation story is from Blackpool: a traditional fireplace transformed with light grey Candela, dark grey acoustic slatwall and warm lighting.

Installed Blackpool media wall with light grey Candela, dark grey acoustic slatwall, a Gazco fire and illuminated TV surround
The installed light grey Candela media wall in Blackpool.

A design developed together

I worked through the computer design together with the customer. We chose light grey Candela as the main material because it was neutral with a subtle texture. The customer then opted for dark grey acoustic slatwall as a backdrop to add contrast.

Starting with a real sample

One of the before photographs shows the light grey Candela sample board I took round, leaning beside the television. It is a useful part of the story: the finish was considered in the room before the installation took shape.

The installed media wall

The installation brings the television and Gazco fire together with low-level cabinets on either side. Lighting picks out the central feature and the contrast between the light and dark finishes.
