Living room smart wall
Living room smart walls: the best wall in the house is usually the one behind the telly.
Factory-built around your television, fire, sound and storage — then fitted in two to four hours. Modules from £840 per square metre ex VAT.
Why people call us
You probably already know what is wrong with the wall.
Almost every living room enquiry we take is one of these three. None of them start with wanting a smart home.
The wall is the problem
A television on brackets, a trailing cable, a radiator in the wrong place and nowhere to put anything. The furniture is fine. The wall behind it is what makes the room look unfinished.
Something is about to change
A new television, a fire, a sound system, or a room that has just been decorated. The wall is the last decision and the one that ties the rest together.
The disruption is the blocker
Most people do not avoid a media wall because of the price. They avoid it because of two weeks of dust, trades and a room they cannot use.

Why factory-built
The difference is when it gets built, not what it is made of.
Built before it arrives
Framed in aluminium, wired, finished and tested in our Glasgow workshop. What reaches your living room is complete.
Installed in two to four hours
Typical for a standard wall, subject to survey. No chasing, no plaster, no drying time.
Cables you never see
Power, HDMI, aerial and speaker runs sit inside the frame, with access left where you will actually need it.
Serviceable later
Modules come apart. A failed driver, a new television or a different soundbar does not mean rebuilding the wall.
One team, one visit
No sequencing a joiner, a plasterer, a decorator and an electrician around each other and around you.
A finish that matches
Stone, marble, wood, metal, mirror and fabric, coordinated across every module rather than mixed on site.
The Wall Shop Precision-Fold Finish
Beautiful from every angle.
The detail is in the bend. Look closely at the corners of our smart walls. We precision-machine the back of each decorative panel by CNC, then carefully heat it and fold it through 90 degrees around an aluminium frame.
The decorative surface continues around the corner, creating a clean, continuous finish with the appearance of a solid, sculpted structure. It is a detail you can see, and craftsmanship you can appreciate.
Anatomy
Centre modules for the screen and fire. Side modules for everything else.
1000mm centre modules
Carry the TV bracket and the electric fire. One for TV only; two for TV and fire.
400 / 600 / 800mm side modules
Two lit shelf slots per side module for display, speakers and charging.
Sound
Soundbar, active speakers, central speaker and subwoofer configurations built into the module bays.
Lighting
Peripheral and TV-surround LED, standard or dimmable multi-colour, on a switch or in scenes.
Power
Standard, USB and magnetic phone-charging sockets, plus karaoke wall sockets if you like.
End-gap boards
Leftover width finished in matching decorative board at £108/m², fitted at £81/m².
How smart should it be?
Only as connected as you actually want.
“Just the wall” is a perfectly good answer, and it is the one a lot of our living room customers give. We ask before we suggest a single device.
Just the wall
Finish, lighting on a standard switch, TV and fire. No app, no hub. Beautiful and simple.
Lighting & scenes
Dimmable, colour-changing lighting with preset scenes from a wall switch, app or voice.
Typical devices: MixSwitch · Zigbee LED · Mini hub
Fully connected
A MixPad panel controlling lights, audio, fire, curtains, climate and cameras from one place.

What happens next
From a photo on your phone to a wall on your wall.
Send the wall
A photo and the rough width. That is genuinely enough for us to suggest layouts that fit — no appointment, no obligation.
See a real price
We come back with layouts and an indicative price from the same engine our team quotes from, itemised ex and inc VAT.
Survey confirms it
Before anything is manufactured, a survey checks the structure, the electrics and the exact dimensions, and the price is confirmed in writing.
Built, then fitted
Six to eight weeks in the workshop from deposit, then two to four hours in your living room.
No appointment needed
Send us your wall.
A photo and a rough width is enough: WhatsApp the photo to +44 7908 724865 and send the form below. We will come back within one working day with the layouts that fit your room and what they would cost.
- A photo of the wall, and one from across the room
- Rough width and ceiling height
- Where the doors, windows, radiators and sockets are
- Your TV size, and the fire or soundbar if you have them
Measurements you send are provisional — final dimensions are confirmed at survey. Prefer to talk? 0141 231 1950.
Straight answers
The things people say to us on the phone.
All five of these come up constantly. None of them is an awkward question.
“It looks more expensive than I expected.”
Some media walls are timber and plasterboard built entirely in your home. Ours is a manufactured modular system, so you are paying for design, factory build, integrated cabling, the finish and a fast install rather than for days of labour in your living room. If the number is above where you want to be, we will happily strip the specification back — fewer modules, simpler lighting, no smart devices — and show you what changes.
“I am only looking for ideas at the moment.”
That is completely fine, and you do not have to talk to anyone. Send a photo of the wall and its rough width and we will come back with the layouts that would actually work in your room. If that is as far as it goes, no one will chase you.
“I need to speak to my partner first.”
Of course — it is usually a joint decision. The quote planner lets you CC up to four people, so you both get the same specification and the same price rather than a summary relayed second-hand.
“A local joiner could build one for less.”
Quite possibly, because it is a different method. A joiner builds on site over several days; we manufacture in advance and fit in hours. The fair comparison is the finished specification, the disruption and the finish — not the structure on its own.
“I am not ready yet.”
Then we will not push. Tell us roughly when you are thinking, and we will get in touch once, near that time. In the meantime the planner saves your wall in your browser so nothing is lost.

Living room wall panelsHow do I know which layout fits my wall?
Enter the wall width in the planner. It subtracts a 100mm fitting margin and proposes symmetric layouts of 400 to 1000mm modules, flagging the recommended one. Any leftover width is finished with matching decorative boards.
Where do the TV and fire go?
In the 1000mm centre modules. A TV-only wall uses one centre module; TV and fire together use two. Side modules carry lit shelving, speakers and sockets.
Is installation included?
Installation is an optional line priced by module count, from £280 including VAT for one module to £590 for six. Delivery is £165 ex VAT depending on distance. Both are shown separately so you can compare.
Can the sides be a different finish to the centre?
Yes. Choose a main finish for the centre and, optionally, a contrasting series for the side modules.
What is the lead time?
Six to eight weeks from receipt of a 40% deposit, taken as £500 on signing and the rest within eight days. A further 40% is payable before delivery and installation, and the final 20% on completion.
Will it work on my wall?
Most solid and stud walls are suitable, but structural fixing, electrical capacity and clearances around a fire are confirmed at survey rather than assumed. If your wall turns out not to suit the system, we will tell you before you commit anything.
Do I have to have the smart features?
No. Many living room walls are simply a beautiful media wall on an ordinary light switch. We ask how you want to control the wall before suggesting a single device.
