This year, media walls have become an increasingly popular choice for homeowners seeking to revamp their sitting rooms. These versatile additions not only elevate the aesthetics of your space but also infuse a sense of cosiness and warmth, making your living room the heart of your home.
Utilising high-quality materials such as Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) alongside select timbers, media walls are an inexpensive yet stylish solution to update your living area. Most commonly built using 18mm x 1220mm x 2440 mm Standard MDF sheets cut to size, this provides the sturdy structure for your entertainment wall.
If you are aiming for a more refined appearance, consider opting for 18mm x 1220 x 2440 MDF sheets faced on both sides by white oak which gives a really stylish finish. This choice introduces a touch of elegance and sophistication, elevating the overall appearance of your room. Remember that at Bennetts Timber we offer a sheet cutting service so that your MDF sheets can be cut down to the sizes that you require.
Other essential components include 50mm x 75mm CLS which is a really versatile studding timber that is smooth with eased edges and is light yet durable but inexpensive, available in different lengths of 2.4m, 3.0m and 4.8m, great for use in the structure. Also 25mm x 50mm PSE (Planed Square Edge) battens play crucial roles in ensuring stability and durability. Pair these with the right screws, such as Timberfix 360 high quality screws, wood glue and silicone, for a secure and seamless assembly.
The beauty of media walls is not only their functionality but also their ability to serve as a focal point, providing ample storage and display space while effortlessly merging with your interior decor. Whether it's for showcasing your entertainment system or displaying cherished items, these walls offer both practicality and style.
In conclusion, investing in a media wall assembled from MDF and select timbers presents an affordable yet impressive way to rejuvenate your living room, adding character while creating a welcoming atmosphere. Experience the transformative power of these versatile installations and embrace a renewed sense of comfort and style within your home.
