Here’s our latest installation.
A new focal point in Lytham.

By Paul Follows · Published

Our latest installation story takes us to Lytham, where a traditional fireplace has made way for a modern media wall designed together with the customer.

A fresh direction for a familiar room

The customer wanted a more modern look, with glass display shelves and low-level cabinets on either side. I developed the design together with them, working around the existing chimney breast.

The new media wall is built around the existing chimney breast, with shelving and cabinetry on both sides.

The fire, shelving and finishes

The centrepiece is a Charlton & Jenrick Luminosa 80 fire beneath the television. Fluted MDF backs each side recess, with glass shelving and warm lighting bringing out the texture.

The low-level cabinets are made from melamine-faced chipboard in a colour chosen by the customer. They also accommodate a Sky box and DVD player, incorporating the equipment into the overall design.

The details, from start to finish

Seeing the old fireplace alongside the finished wall tells the story far better than a finished photograph on its own. The project page also shows the work during construction and a closer view of the finished shelving and cabinetry.
