Five decisions to make before ordering a media wall

Plan the equipment, ventilation and cable routes before construction begins.

A successful media wall is built around the actual television, sound equipment, fireplace and storage requirements.

1. Confirm the television size and mounting arrangement.
2. List every device that needs power or data.
3. Provide suitable ventilation.
4. Choose open shelves, cupboards or drawers.
5. Decide how the feature will be decorated and lit.
