Recently I have been working on a project, we are building a custom wall unit to accommodate an 80″ TV. This is what has inspired this weeks posting.
I found several different types of wall/media units. Its great how you can incorporate so many different materials into a simple idea as a wall unit. These can easily be done in our Custom Built Homes or also one of your homes that we have not built. As Sunlight does do renovations as well. Depending on your design style and look you want to go for, we can absolutely help you accomplish any of them.
This is my favorite room/ media unit that I researched. It looks like this space is located in a basement. Even if you do not have a ton of space, knowing how to use the space given is extremely important. Here it looks like they might have covered a structural column, something that couldn’t be removed so why not work with it in the design. The sleek natural birch wood paneling compliments the rustic exposed ceiling. Some shelving underneath the TV allows you to de clutter and organize books or game consoles. The use of color is also very comfortable and inviting.
This custom media wall the designer paired natural stone along with natural wooden shelves and cabinetry. The shelves being offset and almost floating help obtain a balance visually. They also imitate the look of box beams simply by finishing the shelves with a smooth finish rather than textured and painting the same color as the wood finish. Bringing the outside indoors can be very appealing and help you accomplish your rustic contemporary look.
For a very different look, this designer went with an all white achromatic color scheme. Keeping the cabinetry at the bottom and shelving along the sides and top of the tv looks very organized. Great storage space for the book lover, and appealing to the eye decoratively. The coffered ceilings, trim and pot lights are great accents to this space. To finalize the rug is pulling all the different colors from the books in the wall unit, wooden chairs at the table create a great ambiance.
