Design Concept
The design follows a classic fireplace media wall composition where the television and fireplace are vertically aligned.
The wall was constructed as a custom architectural structure finished with horizontal shiplap panels. The trim work around the structure creates clear edges and gives the installation a polished built-in appearance.
Key elements of the design include:
• full shiplap wall surface
• framed television installation
• floating wood mantel beam
• integrated electric fireplace
• concealed wiring system
This approach allows the wall to feel structured but visually lightweight.
Frame TV Installation
A Samsung Frame TV was installed as the centerpiece of the media wall.
Unlike traditional televisions, a Frame TV is designed to resemble artwork when not in use. To accommodate this system, a custom recessed box was built behind the television.
This box houses the control unit and wiring required for the Frame TV system.
Benefits of this installation method include:
• completely hidden electronics
• clean wall appearance
• minimal visible wiring
• proper spacing for the Frame TV system
This allows the TV to sit flush against the wall like a framed artwork.

Shiplap Fireplace Wall
The wall surface was finished using horizontal shiplap panels, a classic design choice widely used in modern farmhouse and coastal interiors.
Shiplap walls provide several advantages:
• clean horizontal rhythm
• bright and light interior appearance
• timeless design style
• subtle texture without visual heaviness
The crisp trim work around the structure creates a sharp architectural outline and emphasizes the quality of the installation.
Solid Wood Mantel Beam
A natural wood mantel beam was installed above the fireplace.
The wood mantel introduces warmth and contrast against the light shiplap background while also providing a functional shelf for decor items.
The thick beam profile adds visual weight to the center of the composition and balances the fireplace and television area.
Electric Fireplace Integration
The wall includes a linear electric fireplace installed directly below the mantel.
Electric fireplaces are commonly used in media walls because they allow clean installation without venting or gas lines.
Key benefits include:
• modern flame appearance
• safe indoor operation
• energy-efficient heating
• minimal maintenance
The fireplace creates a warm visual centerpiece beneath the television.

Craftsmanship and Finish
One of the most noticeable aspects of this project is the clean and precise finish work.
All edges were carefully trimmed and aligned, ensuring that:
• joints remain tight and consistent
• trim lines remain perfectly straight
• the structure integrates seamlessly with the surrounding wall
This level of craftsmanship gives the media wall a refined built-in appearance.
