TV Feature wall

[bendi85]

Console is made by my carpenter. It’s a separate piece. But this concept will work with store bought pre-made consoles too. Simply make a hole or holes on the wall behind the tv and behind the console. As long as the holes are big enough to run all your cables through.

The wall is hollow except for where the TV bracket is mounted. The bracket is mounted on wooden reinforcements built in by the partition people. The wall can contain any amount of cabling. So the location and size of the holes are the parts that require crucial planning.

Oic thanks. The wooden reinforcement u are referring to are behind the partition wall? So u need to know the exact location of where the brackets will be mounted on before installing the wooden reinforcements?

By the way where u get the plant beside your tv?

The reinforcement is inside the partition wall, so yes, you need to know where the TV will be in order to build the reinforcement in the right place.

That’s a fake plant. I bought it at Robinsons Heeren. Basement 1 has a good selection. This particular one is one of the more realistic ones.

Most TV wall mounting frames have multiple anchor points where you can attach the frame to the wall. Just get your carpenter to make sure the vertical supports (if you are doing a feature wall) are spaced evenly (like 1 foot apart) to help distribute the weight, where you plan to mount your TV.


If you don't plan to install a feature wall, the TV wall mount frame will just mount directly onto the wall.

This is correct. However, to be exact, I’d still plan the location exactly. If I didn’t, the |<1 foot>| thing would have dictated my tv location to be slightly off.

If exposed cabling (trunking) is of no concern, then yes, simply mount directly on the wall. If cabling is to hidden, then there can only be 2 options. Hack a channel in concrete wall to bury cabling or build a structure to hide them.

Yup, that is correct. Which is why an existing feature wall may not work when it comes to changing the TV.

YouTube has many videos about wall mounting TVs on partition walls. Can search to see if you don't understand.

By the way where is the wall power sockets? Behind the tv console?

By the way where is the wall power sockets? Behind the tv console?

Yes, there are 15 (3 x 5-gang) universal sockets installed inside the console on the wall, which I regret not installing more. 15 sockets weren’t enough.

How do u install the sockets inside the console on the wall? Is there a opening at the back of the console?
15 sockets not enough? What did u use them for ?

Yes on the wall. Or rather, on the back "wall" or panel of the console. You can see there are 3 sections to my console, one 5-gang at each section:

TV
Router
LAN switch
Set top box
Apple TV
Bluetooth adaptor
TOSLINK to RCA convertor
Pre amp
Plant light smart plug
Air purifier
Speakers (B&O A9)
Amazon Echo
Logitech Harmony
Doorbell chime
5-port Anker USB charger
Fibaro Home Center
HA Bridge

So you make a cut out that fits exactly as the size of the power socket?

wahjohreno you mind sharing more photos of your apartment?
Would you mind sharing the floor plan too?
Looks really good!

My electrician coordinated with my carpenter to make everything work.

My 5-gang sockets came only with face plates:

So my carpenter built wooden casings that the faceplates can be mounted on. So the whole casing is simply screw-mounted onto the back wall of the console.

These pics were taken by my ID 2 years ago. Things have changed a bit, but you can get the big picture looking at them:

Very nice design work and installation by your ID and carpenter, and I'm sure you contributed a lot as well.



Looks like your $154,000 was well spent.



Yours is a Jumbo flat, correct?

Thank you. Yes, it’s a jumbo.

Actually the cost is not quite accurate. The cost excludes my studio, which is floated and acoustically treated. It was designed and spec’d out by a professional music studio designer.

Adding another $100k to the studio would be more accurate. Of course to someone like me who works and receives clients at home, this money very well spent, as income is generated from it, and I save at least $5k rental per month.

Hi guys just want to ask if you guys think a TV Feature Wall is a good thing to have or just a waste of money? As well as built in tv console? Or just buy of the rack cheaper and better?

Bro u fix already?
This question always on my mind whenever I moved house
And my wife always wanted feature wall.
Firstly if looked nicer
Then tv gotta mount on wall and cable can be hidden
But still will have 1 or 2 coming out from some IT gadget

But if u didn’t do, u can change the portable tv console every 3-4 years
