Luxury Slat Media Wall - Built in 1 day in Charlotte, NC
Introduction: From Blank Wall to Modern Focal Point
In just one day, we transformed a standard living room in Charlotte, North Carolina into a custom-designed feature wall with striking black slats, a marble-style centerpiece, and rich ambient lighting.
This modern media wall project brings depth, elegance, and function together—with every detail tailored to the space.
Design Vision: Modern, Bold, and Custom
The client wanted to upgrade their TV area with something sleek and luxurious. They asked for:
Vertical black fluted slats
A TV mount with hidden wiring
A floating media cabinet
Elegant wall lighting
A standout high-gloss marble-look panel
With all materials ready, we designed and built the entire wall in a single day.
“The beauty of this wall is in the balance of simplicity and boldness, says Max, lead designer at Accent Wall Designs. The vertical rhythm of the black slats creates height, while the marble-look center adds energy and drama. We kept the LED lighting warm and subtle, and the sconces bring in just the right amount of luxury. Even though the project was built in just one day, the planning and precision make it feel like a much longer custom build.
Max’s design approach blends functionality with style, tailored for each room’s purpose and personality.”
