Panel types
Fluted panels add depth, slat panels add rhythm, marble-look panels feel luxurious and LED-lit panels glow at night. Pick one dominant style.
TV size and height
Mount the TV so its centre is at seated eye level, about 42 to 48 inches from the floor. Make the panel wider than the TV by 30 to 60 cm each side.
Cable hiding
Run conduit and a recessed socket behind the TV before panelling so cables vanish. Leave service access for the decoder and Wi-Fi box.
Shelves and storage
Floating shelves and closed cabinets add storage and balance, while open shelves show off decor. Keep shelves shallow near the TV.
Ventilation
Consoles and decoders need airflow, so leave gaps or vents. Do not box in heat-producing devices.
Fitting
Fix on level battens, reinforce for TV bracket loads and plan lights. Fixing should be done by a trained installer on a dry, level wall, using battens and fixings suited to the wall type and the weight of the panel.
Before you decide
Plan cables, TV height and ventilation before choosing the panel. Measure each wall and add 8 to 10 percent for cuts and waste, compare at least two quotes on the same material, thickness, finish and fitting scope, and keep the invoice and any warranty. Ask for a full sample panel and look at it in the room's own light, check that the wall is dry because panels trap moisture, and plan sockets, switches and lights before fixing begins. Order every panel together so that colour and pattern match, keep a spare panel for repairs, and inspect the finished wall in daylight before you make the final payment. Prices change with material costs and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
