Custom TV Media Wall in Virginia, VA
A Fully Built-In Feature Wall with Stone, Floating Shelves & Hidden StorageThis project in Virginia, VA is a great example of what happens when custom design, precise craftsmanship, and smart functionality come together. Our client wanted more than just a place for a TV — they wanted a statement media wall that looks built-in, hides technology, and fits their space perfectly.
The result is a custom TV media wall with marble stone, shiplap walls, floating shelves made to exact lengths, a hidden-storage mantel, and a clean, modern fireplace installation. The entire project was completed in just 5 days, and the homeowner was thrilled with the final result.
The Vision: Clean, Custom, and Functional
From the start, the goal was clear:
A wall that feels architectural and permanent
Custom shelves sized exactly for the room
A fireplace as the visual anchor
No visible wires, consoles, or routers
A clean, modern look that still feels warm and inviting
Every element of this media wall was custom-built for the space — nothing off the shelf, nothing forced.
Custom Floating Shelves Built to Exact Length
One of the most important details in this project was the custom floating shelves. These shelves were designed and built to the exact length requested by the client, ensuring perfect proportions on both sides of the fireplace.
Key features:
Solid wood construction
Clean floating design (no visible brackets)
Warm wood tone to contrast the stone and shiplap
Perfect alignment with the fireplace and TV
Because the shelves were custom-built, they fit the wall seamlessly — no awkward gaps, no filler pieces, no compromises.
Marble Stone Fireplace Wall as the Centerpiece
At the center of the media wall is a marble stone fireplace surround, which immediately adds texture, depth, and a high-end feel. Stone brings a natural element into the room and creates a strong focal point without overwhelming the space.
We paid special attention to:
Tight, clean seams between stone pieces
Precise alignment at corners
Smooth transitions where stone meets shiplap and wood
A balanced look that works with both modern and transitional interiors
Hidden Storage Mantel with Smart Functionality
The custom mantel shelf isn’t just decorative — it includes hidden storage, giving the client a place to store small items discreetly while keeping the wall visually clean.
This is one of those details that homeowners love:
Everything looks minimal and uncluttered
Storage is accessible but invisible
The mantel still reads as a solid, elegant wood beam
Shiplap Walls with Perfect Seams
The surrounding wall was finished with horizontal shiplap, installed with extreme precision. Shiplap can easily look uneven if rushed — so we took our time to make sure every seam lined up perfectly.
The result:
Clean, consistent spacing
Smooth transitions around shelves and stone
A crisp background that enhances the entire media wall
Touchstone Fireplace & “Art-Style” TV Installation
We installed a Touchstone electric fireplace, known for its sleek design and reliable performance. Above it, the TV was mounted to feel more like a framed art piece rather than just a screen on the wall.
Behind the TV, we built a custom niche that hides:
Sony PlayStation console
Internet routers
Streaming devices
All wiring and cables
Nothing is visible from the front — just a clean, finished media wall.
Professional Tools for Professional Results
To achieve this level of precision, we used a full range of professional tools, including:
Festool tools for cutting, sanding, and dust control
Graco paint sprayers for a smooth, even finish
DeWalt tools for framing, installation, and fine carpentry
Using professional equipment allows us to work faster, cleaner, and with far better accuracy — especially on complex custom projects like this one.
