What fire should I put in my media wall?
Media walls are a trend that’s not going anywhere.
As the year progresses, we’re seeing more TV and fire integrations in homes across the world. But why? Where did this trend first emerge?
The rise in media walls is partly due to social media! They’ve been trending on platforms like Instagram and Facebook since 2022, and today, media walls are bigger than ever before.
Not only are they ideal focal points for lounges, but they’re a space-saving, practical solution for smaller homes. So, if you’re looking for the perfect fire to polish off your media wall, here are some recommendations from Fires2U.
