A familiar room.

From traditional fireplace to modern media wall.

Completed Lytham media wall with a Luminosa 80 fire, glass shelves, fluted recess panels and low-level cabinets
The new media wall is built around the existing chimney breast, with shelving and cabinetry on both sides.

Designed together.

The customer wanted a more modern focal point for their Lytham living room, with glass display shelves and low-level cabinets on either side. Paul worked with the customer on the design, bringing the television, fire, shelving and storage together across the wall.

The existing chimney breast became the centre of the new media wall. A Charlton & Jenrick Luminosa 80 fire sits beneath the television, with warm lighting highlighting the central feature and the side recesses.

Display space and everyday storage.

Glass shelves sit in each side recess, backed with fluted MDF for texture. Below, the low-level cabinetry is made from melamine-faced chipboard in a colour chosen by the customer.

The cabinets also accommodate the customer’s Sky box and DVD player, giving the equipment a place within the overall design.

From construction to the finished room.
