Stone Built-In Entertainment Center - Bradenton, FL
Project Overview
This project was completed in Bradenton, Florida, within the Tampa Bay Area.
The goal was to create a balanced, classic fireplace media wall that serves as the main focal point of the living room while providing storage, display space, and integrated lighting.
The client selected a traditional configuration of the Stone Built-In Entertainment Center model with a strong architectural center and symmetrical built-in elements on both sides.
Design & Materials
The central section of the wall is finished with Stone Ledger, creating depth and texture.
A wooden mantel was installed below the TV to visually separate the screen from the electric fireplace and add warmth to the design.
On both sides of the stone center, we installed built-in cabinet and shelf systems:
• Lower cabinets for concealed storage
• Three vertical display niches on each side
• Painted finish to maintain a clean, timeless look
The composition is symmetrical and intentionally classic, making it suitable for a wide range of interior styles.
Integrated Features
