There are many ways to build a media wall, and the method you choose depends on your space, style, and needs. Below is just one example of how you can create a stunning media wall using one of our electric fireplaces.
A media wall with an electric fire is the ultimate statement piece for modern living rooms. It combines warmth, style, and functionality—blending a beautiful electric fire with your TV, soundbar, and built-in storage for a sleek, contemporary finish.
At Endeavour Fires, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners transform their homes with stylish and energy-efficient electric fires. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to build a media wall using the steps shown in the image above.
What You’ll Need:
- Electric fire (like the Endeavour Rosedale)
- Timber battens for framing
- Plasterboard (drywall)
- Screws, fixings, and brackets
- Power sockets
- TV bracket and optional soundbar shelf
- Tools: saw, drill, level, tape measure
Step 1: Build the Timber Frame
Start by building the stud frame directly onto your existing wall. Plan the layout carefully to accommodate your electric fire and leave space above for a television.
Tip: Measure your electric fire (width, height, depth) before you build, and allow for airflow around the unit.
- Fix horizontal supports at the height where the fire will sit.
- Run a power supply to the fire location.
In Step 1 (see image above), the timber structure is in place and the fire is positioned with wiring access.
Step 2: Add Storage & Cable Management
Now add internal shelves or recesses to house devices like game consoles, Sky boxes, or routers. Think about cable access—keep it tidy by running wires through the framework.
- Fit your electric fire into position (following the manufacturer’s instructions).
- Add plug sockets as required.
- Test the flame and heat settings before sealing up the wall.

Step 3: Board and Finish
Once the internal structure is ready, it’s time to cover the frame with plasterboard. Tape and fill the joints, then sand the surface smooth for decorating.
- Carefully cut openings for the fire and any shelves.
- Secure your TV bracket at the correct height for viewing.
In Step 3, the wall is fully boarded and ready for the final touches.
Step 4: Add the TV and Accessories
Install your television and any additional features like a soundbar or lighting strip.
- Mount the TV bracket securely into the framework.
- Place the soundbar shelf just below the TV or integrate it into the wall for a flush finish.
Step 4 shows a completed media wall with TV, soundbar, and fire beautifully integrated.
