Feature walls. You’ve heard the term buzzing around in renovation conversations, but what exactly are they? How do they transform your living space into a stylish and practical masterpiece? If you're on a quest to make your TV console both functional and fun, look no further as we’re here to tell you why they are so popular and how they can do wonders for your home.
TV consoles are a staple in today’s homes, and what better way to house this beloved element than a feature wall that has your TV as its central focal point!
A TV console feature wall is a focal point in your living room that houses your television and related media equipment. It blends entertainment needs with design elegance while having the potential to enhance the room’s visual appeal, creating a desired ambiance that reflects the homeowners’ personal style. Storage solutions may be thoughtfully incorporated to accommodate the homeowner’s living habits.
On top of providing visual functionality, an advantage of a TV console feature wall is its space optimization! Especially in Singapore where space is a luxury, if you’re working with a smaller room, mounting your TV on a wall maximises floor space. It also gives you the opportunity to effectively hide unsightly cables, giving the wall and your entire living room an uncluttered and sophisticated look.
Generally, it is recommended that your TV is mounted to eye-level, but depending on the size of the TV, as well as your personal preferences or the height of your sofa, you would be able to precisely customise the height you want your TV mounted, rather than being restricted to the height of a TV console cabinet.
After conceptualising the theme and deciding on the priorities of your TV console feature wall, your interior designer will take precise measurements of the allocated space for the installation of the wall. This leads to planning for the materials used, as well as other design elements.
The surface of the walls are prepared and scrutinised for its structural integrity. After ensuring the surface is clean, smooth, and free of any debris or imperfections, a wooden or metal framework that can support the weight of your TV console and additional items will be drilled into the wall. The TV is then securely installed into the mount bracket. With appropriate adhesives and grouts, the selected material of the feature wall will be applied, framing the TV. Channels are integrated behind the panels or within the framework to hide the cables, and depending on the design, LED strips, recessed spotlight and other lighting are installed at this point. After applying sealants and polish to protect and enhance the materials, your feature wall is complete!
The cost of building feature walls in Singapore can vary widely depending on the materials used, complexity of the design, and the interior designer you choose. Generally, wood panels, wallpapers, laminate and veneers are the most cost-effective options, while stone, marble and tiles are higher-end materials that cost more. Wood panels range from $50 to $150 per square metre, laminate and veneer range from $30 to $100 per square metre, while wallpapers can go from a low of $10 to $100 per roll, depending on the quality, design, and finishes. On the higher end of the spectrum, stones and marbles averagely range from $100 to $300 per square metre, though affordable options that start from $80 per square metre do exist. Prices of tiles vary significantly, where ceramic tiles can start at $20 per square metre, while porcelain or custom tiles go up to $200 per square metre.
In a typical Singaporean living room, a feature wall has an average of 10 to 15 square metres. We have broken down the average range of material costs for you:
Simpler, basic designs with straightforward installations typically cost less, while intricate designs, custom cabinetry, integrated lighting, and other personalised features increase the cost. Labour costs vary also, ranging from $500 to $5,000, while additional features like lighting costs between $100 to $500, and custom-built cabinets, shelves, or hidden storage can range from $500 to $3,000, depending on size and complexity.
Minimalism isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifestyle that emphasises simplicity, functionality, and elegance. It has its roots in modernism and is influenced by Japanese Zen philosophy, focusing on the idea “less is more” that strips down to essential elements. Achieve a sleek, clutter-free look with this timeless style.
Monochromatic colour palettes dominate minimalism—whites, greys, and soft neutral tones create a serene backdrop and enhance the perception of space and light. Sleek surfaces—matte finishing, polished wood, and seamless laminates—that are smooth and unembellished play into the vibe. Investing in higher quality materials will offer durability and a refined, cool look. Incorporating clean, straight lines, floating sleeves, or integrated built-in cabinets are some design elements and features to create that sleek minimalist look. For minimalism, less is always more.
This 5-room BTO in Tampines designed by Design4Space features a minimalist theme, with the feature wall designed to accommodate the large television. The cool grey wall is simple, with the panelled lines as accent on the side of the wall, creating some visual interest. The matching grey console at bottom anchors the entire wall, and acts as a place to rest the console, remote controls, and other items. An effective and aesthetic feature wall that captures the timeless essence of “less is more”.
A TV console feature wall designed in a Scandinavian style brings together the best of minimalist design, functionality, but with an added sense of warmth and cosiness. As the name suggests, this style originates from the Nordic countries and is influenced by the region’s climate and lifestyle, which focuses on creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Wood is a staple in Scandinavian design. The natural grain and colours of the oak or pine wood surrounding the TV creates a calm and serene environment. Maximising natural light is crucial for achieving the Scandinavian style. Ensure that the location of the wall is one that receives a lot of natural light from the windows, enhancing the airy feel of the room. Decorative elements like artworks, plants, or functional decor items can be used to embellish display shelves, adding a touch of personality and warmth.
Glancing at this 5-room modern Scandinavian themed HDB at Tampines brought to life by TBG Interior Design immediately brings fuzzy feelings and warmth! Look at how the sunlight from the adjacent windows caress the panels of the light wood, and how the warm neutral tones of the wall and its surrounding furniture tie in together to bring that cosy, inviting atmosphere! The full-length shelves at the side of the wall are functional to store and display items, while adding visual interest to the entire wall. This TV console feature wall tastefully contrasts all the other plain white walls, tying in the entire golden atmosphere of the living room.
Designing a TV console feature wall in a contemporary style involves blending modern aesthetics with functional elements to create a sleek, stylish and cohesive focal point in your living space. While the colour scheme typically includes neutral tones, contemporary design often incorporates a variety of materials and textures to add depth and interest. This can include combinations of wood, metal, glass, and stone.
Using statement lighting is crucial for contemporary design. Recessed lighting, wall sconces, LED strip lights highlight the TV console and feature wall. A statement floor lamp or pendant light can add a focal point and enhance the contemporary aesthetic. Keep decor minimal and purposeful that sticks to a cohesive colour palette to maintain a harmonious look.
This modern contemporary Executive HDB project at Bukit Merah completed by Aart Boxx Interior has an alluring contemporary overtone that unites the entire mood of the house, with the feature wall as a focal point. The television is beautifully framed in the centre of the light wood laminate (need to fact check), that is further contrasted with wood panels that run through the length of the wall. At a glance, the wall is compositionally stunning—you can tell a lot of thought and precision was injected to this work. The console runs through the width of the wall anchors the entire wall, where the plants and lamp frame the entire wall. The LED lights also gently highlight the TV frame; this feature wall is immaculate and well thought out.
Industrial style embraces raw, unfinished elements and combines them with modern functionality. Industrial design draws inspiration from old factories and industrial spaces, featuring exposed materials, neutral colours, and a mix of textures.
This retro industrial project by TBG Interior Design of a 5-room HDB at Woodlands displays the owner’s bikes to add to the personality of not only the feature wall, but the entire vibe of the living room. It is very telling of the owner’s own hobbies and interests, where the feature wall simply creates the setting and atmosphere to further oomph the design of the house.
Showcasing raw and unfinished materials like brick, concrete, metal, and wood, give the space an authentic, rugged look, and adds depth and interest to the space. If your home doesn’t have an existing brick wall, you can use brick veneer or textured wallpaper to achieve this look. Open shelving made of metal pipes and wooden planks to display books or plants will add to the industrial aesthetic. Wall-mounted sconces with metal shades, exposed bulbs, or pendant lights with cage designs are ideal for that touch of industrial charm, while providing practical lighting. Think metal accents — metal TV mount, metal-framed storage baskets, and keep decor simple and functional. Vintage clocks or radios, metal sculptures, or black-and-white photographs (perhaps of your wedding, or photos from your holidays), are details to think about while maintaining an uncluttered functional aesthetic.
Transforming your living room with a TV console feature wall anchors the magic of your home. Remember, a feature wall is not only about mounting a TV, but creating a focal point that’s both functional and beautiful.
It’s evident that creating a feature wall involves many intricate aspects that can be challenging to handle on your own.
