The TV wall has become the centrepiece of the modern Ghanaian living room. Instead of a TV on a stand with cables trailing behind it, homeowners now want a designed feature wall that hides the wiring, adds storage and becomes the focal point of the room.
Here are the most popular TV wall design ideas, from marble panels to lit shelving. For slat panel materials and care, see our slat wall panel guide.
Marble-effect TV Wall Design
Marble-effect panels behind the TV give a luxurious, hotel-style finish without the weight and cost of real stone. White marble with gold or grey veins suits most colour schemes and reflects light, making the room feel brighter.
Slat panels with a feature panel for TV Wall Design
Combining vertical slat panels with a smooth or marble panel behind the TV is one of the most requested designs. The slats add warmth and texture, while the smooth panel frames the screen. LED strips between the slats and the panel create a soft glow in the evening.
Built-in display shelves
Tall shelving units on either side of the TV balance the wall and give space for books, ornaments and awards. Adding LED lighting inside the shelves turns them into a display feature at night.
Floating TV consoles
A floating console below the TV keeps the floor clear, makes cleaning easier and gives storage for decoders, consoles and routers. Push-to-open drawers keep the front clean, and a cable route behind the wall hides everything.
Plan the technical details
- Decide the TV size first and centre it at a comfortable viewing height.
- Plan sockets, HDMI, aerial and internet points behind the TV.
- Leave ventilation for decoders and consoles inside cabinets.
- Choose warm white LED strips with a separate switch or dimmer.
Match the TV wall to the room
The TV wall should tie in with the rest of the room. Repeat the wood tone in doors or furniture, match the marble to the coffee table or floor, and keep the ceiling lighting consistent. A P.O.P ceiling with cove lighting above the TV wall completes the look.
TV wall Design in bedrooms and Hotels
Bedrooms and hotel rooms benefit from smaller TV walls with a slim console and a fridge or kettle space beside it. For hotels, repeating the same TV wall design in every room gives a consistent, branded finish. See our hotel fit-out checklist.
Choosing colours and materials
Light oak slats with white cabinets feel fresh and modern. Walnut slats with cream walls look warm and premium. Dark slats with brass details create a bold, hotel-bar feel. Whatever you choose, keep the TV wall consistent with the floor, doors and furniture in the room.
Budget-friendly TV wall Design ideas
- Use slat panels only behind the TV area rather than the whole wall.
- Choose a wall-mounted shelf instead of a full console.
- Paint a feature colour behind the TV and add LED strips.
- Reuse an existing cabinet and refresh it with new fronts.
Even a simple design looks finished when cables are hidden, the TV is centred and lighting is planned. You can always add shelving or panels later.
Common TV wall mistakes
- Mounting the TV too high for comfortable viewing.
- Forgetting sockets and cables until after the panels are fixed.
- Choosing a console too small for the wall, which makes the TV look lost.
- Using cool white lighting that feels harsh in the evening.
Frequently asked questions
How high should a TV be mounted on a feature wall?
The centre of the screen should be close to eye level when seated, usually a little above the console. We confirm the height on site based on your seating.
Can a TV wall hide all the cables?
Yes. Cables run behind the panels into the console, so nothing hangs below the screen.
Is real marble needed for a marble TV wall?
No. Marble-effect panels give the same look, weigh less and cost less than real stone, and they are easier to install.
How long does a TV wall take to install?
Most TV walls are fitted within a few days once the panels and cabinets are made.
