How to Prepare Room Dimensions and Photos for a Media Wall Enquiry
Start with approximate wall measurements, a few clear photographs and the model details of any TV or electric fire you want to keep. A simple sketch is useful; an initial enquiry does not need a professional drawing or exact manufacturing dimensions.
Record the wall and nearby features
Note the wall width and the floor-to-ceiling height, with the units beside each measurement. If there are alcoves or a chimney breast, show them on a rough sketch and label the measurements you can readily take. Mark anything you are unsure about as approximate.
Include the positions of doors, windows, radiators, sockets and switches. Note the skirting height and any changes in ceiling level. These details help explain the space in the photographs; final dimensions need checking before anything is made.
Take photographs that explain the room
Take one straight-on photograph showing the whole wall, from floor to ceiling, and another from your usual seating position. A wider photograph from each side can show adjoining walls, doorways and furniture that a close-up misses. Use daylight where possible and avoid filters.
Add close-ups of features mentioned on your sketch, such as an alcove or an existing fireplace. Send the original photographs as email attachments where possible. Check the pictures for private documents or family photographs you would prefer not to share.
Include TV and fire model details
Send the make and model of any TV or electric fire you already own or are considering. A screen size alone does not describe the full TV dimensions. Model details and the relevant product instructions are more useful than estimating an opening from the visible front of a fire.
List any soundbar, games console or other equipment you want to include, along with what you would like to store or display. If you have not chosen appliances or finishes yet, say so; the enquiry can begin with the decisions still open.
Send a short brief with the pictures
Include your postcode, the measurements or sketch, and a few sentences about what you want to change. If you have saved an example, explain which part you like: the overall proportions, the shelving arrangement or a particular finish.
