Slat panel wall or full media wall: which one fits your room?
Both put warm wood behind your TV and cut echo. The difference is how much is built into the wall.
A slat panel wall
Acoustic slat panels cover the wall, floor to ceiling, and the TV mounts on top. That's it.
- Price: about $736 installed for an 8 ft wall, $1,044 for 12 ft (panels plus $75 per panel install)
- Time: usually one visit
- Good for: rectangular walls, renters who want a big change, anyone who wants it done this week

A media wall
A media wall is designed around the whole wall: panels plus the TV mount with hidden wires, and often floating shelves, LED lighting, cabinets, a console or an electric fireplace.
Examples from media walls we've designed, with all-inclusive prices:
- Seamless walnut slat wall with TV and soundbar, 120 in × 10 ft wall: $1,510
- Walnut panels with 6 lit floating shelves, 17 ft wall: $2,100
- Oak media wall with a lit wood border and 4 shelves: $3,600
- Oak and white stacked stone with 4 shelves: $3,900
- Walnut fireplace media wall with glass cabinets and an electric fireplace console, 18 ft wall: $4,950
Every wall is measured first, and your final price is confirmed before any work starts.
