Matthew James - New for 2025
We design and install bespoke media walls tailored to your room, technology and style - hiding every cable and integrating your TV, soundbar, consoles and storage exactly where you need them.
Create a focal point in your living space
A well-thought-out media wall does more than just hold a TV — it organises, warms, and lifts your room. It is also a central hub for home entertainment, combining functionality and style to create a dedicated entertainment area that makes life better.
At Matthew James Kitchens, we design and build bespoke media walls that blend with your interior, hide cables and clutter and create a calm focal point for everyday life. A key feature of media walls is hiding all unsightly wires and cables within the wall structure, ensuring a clean and polished look.
Why choose a bespoke media wall from us?
Our bespoke media walls are for homeowners who want quality and customisation.
- Craftsmanship first: attention to detail in every step, from precision-built cabinetry and perfect scribing to finishes chosen for durability and style.
- Designed for your room: proportion, ventilation, speaker placement and viewing height tailored to your needs.
- Integrated solutions: soundbar recesses, fireplaces, drawers for remotes and consoles, and hidden access panels for future upgrades.
- Local, personal service: designed and installed in the West Midlands from our Bromsgrove and Birmingham showrooms, with aftercare you can always count on.
Benefits of media walls (at a glance)

- Storage where you need it - soft-close drawers, adjustable shelving and hidden doors keep the space tidy.
- Warmth & atmosphere - optional fireplaces add ambient glow without compromising safety or layout.
- A focal point that fits - sized to your TV and the room’s sightlines so the space feels balanced and inviting.
- Future-ready - conduit routes and service voids enable easy upgrades over time.
Design options that suit your home
Every home is different. We offer a wide range of styles to suit different tastes and interiors. We design and create bespoke media walls that feel native to your architecture and lifestyle, reflecting your vision and needs:
Modern, seamless
Slim shadow lines, handle-less cabinetry, a low-sheen finish, and a perfectly flush TV recess make this unit great for open-plan living where you want quiet, stylish continuity.
Classic with character
Framed doors, painted timber, decorative cornice and a softly curved mantel around the fire – a timeless look that brings elegance to period homes.
Family-friendly storage
Deep drawers for controllers and tablets, wipe-clean interiors, and integrated charging are all built for everyday life.
Minimal floating
A light, wall-hung look that keeps the floor visible, allowing smaller rooms to feel transformed without visual bulk. In smaller living rooms or apartments, a media wall consolidates the TV and entertainment equipment into one vertical installation, saving floor space while maintaining a stylish and functional design.
Bedroom & snug
Scaled-down solutions for a bedroom or snug: whisper-quiet doors, softer lighting, and cable management that keeps the space calm. A slim-profile media wall can be installed in a bedroom to house a television while saving floor space, making it an ideal choice for compact or multi-purpose rooms.
Integration
Features
we can integrate
- TV recesses, soundbar shelves, acoustic fabric doors for hidden speakers.
- Inset fires (electric) are sized to fit, with correct clearances, ventilation, and maintenance access.
- We can install and integrate woodburning stoves into your media wall, managing all plumbing and venting for safe, seamless integration. We make sure everything fits in without compromising the design.
- Dimmable LED, reading spots and back-lighting that makes texture pop. LED strip lighting is often used in media walls to highlight features and improve the viewing experience.
- Chamfered edges, micro-shadow gaps, framed panels or ultra-clean slab fronts to match your style.
- Push-latch service hatches, removable backs, labelled cable pathways for tidy installation and future service.
- We can integrate smart appliances that work with Alexa and Google, including lighting, plug sockets and AV equipment.
- Bespoke solutions that combine electric fires, integrated lighting and storage for convenience, variety and a tailored entertainment centre.
Getting
the Design Right
What we consider together
- Room & proportions: wall width, ceiling height, sightlines and seating distance.
- Architecture: alcoves, chimney breasts, radiators, sockets and cable routes.
- Equipment: TV size, consoles, set-top boxes, soundbars or separate speakers.
- Fire integration: safe clearances, ventilation and service access (where relevant).
- Storage mix: drawers, cupboards, display niches and access panels.
- Materials & finish: painted, veneer or laminate options to suit durability and style.
- Lighting: ambient back-lighting, task lighting and dimming control.
- Future-proofing: hidden conduits and service voids for easy upgrades later.
Our team will help you select the ideal fire, television size, and other features to match your preferences and space perfectly.
When you’re ready, we’ll walk you through options, sketches, and finishes so you can make confident choices. Once the design is agreed upon, we’ll provide a clear proposal.
Room considerations
(before we start)
- Proportion & sightlines: viewing height and distance from sofa to TV set in your room.
- Heat & ventilation: fires and consoles produce heat; we design safe air paths and clearances.
- Natural light: window glare affects TV contrast; we ensure the TV and fire position reduces reflections.
- Power & data: dedicated circuits, spur points and tidy cable routes planned before installation.
- Acoustics: speaker placement and fabric fronts that allow better sound without exposing equipment.
Materials &
Finishes
Choose from a selection: premium MDF and timber for painted schemes, real wood veneers, or high-pressure laminates for busy homes. We’ll recommend the finish and sheen that works, looks great and fits your house.
Accessories & upgrades
- Soundbar cradles and hidden subwoofer plinths
- Media shelves with hidden drawers
- Reeded, slatted or fluted panels for texture
- Back-lit display niches for books and photos
- Smart lighting scenes that start with one button
- Extra data points and conduit for future tech
