THE PROBLEM WITH STORE-BOUGHT
Most TV walls end up as expensive clutter magnets.
You know that wall could look amazing. You just can’t picture it, or figure out where the cables and the outlet will go.
Store-bought units are made for an average room and an average TV, not yours. The depth is wrong for your wall. Your 65-inch TV hangs over the shelves. Nobody planned the cables or the outlet, so you end up drilling through new cabinets or living with a tangle behind the screen. The shelves are too shallow for board games and too tall for the remotes. You paid for custom and got disposable.
OUR APPROACH
Design first. Built as one complete project.
We design your TV wall around what you really store: your TV, your sound system, your kids’ toys, your books. We plan where the cables run, where the outlets go and how the equipment breathes before a single board is cut.
You work with Sandra and Johanna from the first measurement to the last detail, the same way we run a full home renovation or a basement renovation, where built-ins are part of the house, not an afterthought. You see your wall in 3D: how it fits the room, where the outlets land and how much storage you get. Then we build it: framing, drywall, electrical with our licensed electrician, paint, finishes, and cabinets made by the cabinet shop we partner with, installed by us. One project, one team.
We trained as architects, with more than 10 years of building experience. We care about proportion: how a built-in sits against your ceiling, your trim and the rest of the room. It’s the same eye we bring to our interior design work across Toronto. The wall has to belong to the room.
WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Three things we get right that store-bought can’t
1
A wall that looks like it was always there
Designed around your room, your ceiling height and your TV. No awkward gaps, no overhang.
2
One team answers for everything
You decide with Sandra and Johanna. We handle the trades, the cabinet shop, the electrical and whatever comes up.
3
A built-in worth living with for 15+ years
Honest materials, solid construction, finishes that don’t date, and cables hidden from day one. The wall you walk into in 2040 is the wall we drew in 2026.
HOW WE WORK
Three steps, one team
1
Design
We visit, measure your wall and list what you need to store. Then we design it in 3D, choose materials and plan the electrical and the cables.
2
Materials and electrical
We order materials early and the cabinet shop builds the cabinets to our drawings. Our licensed electrician does any outlet, light or fireplace wiring.
3
Build and install
Framing, drywall, paint, the fireplace if you have one, cabinets, finishes, cables and the TV mount. A final check together, and a wall that works. If we build it, your design fee is credited to the build.
WHY HOMEOWNERS PICK US
Why Toronto homeowners trust us with their TV wall
- What you see is what we build. You approve the 3D, and we build exactly that. No guessing what it will look like.
- Storage sized to what you own. Board games, books, the soundbar, the kids’ toys. We measure them and design shelves that fit, not generic 12-inch cubes.
- Cables planned, never an afterthought. HDMI, power and internet are drawn before the first board is cut, so nothing shows when it’s done.
- Honest about what you need. If your wall doesn’t need built-ins, we’ll tell you. If a simple floating console is the right answer, we’ll say so.

Frequently asked
TV wall questions, answered honestly
How much does a custom TV wall unit cost in Toronto?
A floating console with shelves usually costs $3,000 to $5,000. A full-wall built-in with floor-to-ceiling cabinets, lighting and electrical is usually $8,000 to $15,000. A built-in with a fireplace starts at $15,000. Your number depends on the size of the wall, materials and what goes in it.
How long does it take to design and build?
About 1 to 2 weeks of design. Once you approve it, the cabinets take 4 to 8 weeks to make. Then we install. A fireplace or special finishes can add time.
What materials do you recommend?
It depends on your budget and how you’ll use the wall. We recommend materials case by case: solid wood, plywood with a wood veneer, or engineered panels with a durable finish. We walk you through the trade-offs honestly.
Do I need an electrician?
If you’re adding outlets, moving existing ones, adding sconces, or wiring a fireplace, yes. We bring our own licensed electrician on every project. Our electrician already knows how we work.
How do you handle cable management?
We plan cable routes during design. Holes are drilled through back panels before finishing so HDMI cables, power cords, and ethernet hide behind cabinetry. We position openings where equipment actually sits so cables don’t stretch or show.
Can you work around existing furniture?
Yes. We measure your room and existing furniture during the design. The 3D model shows how the wall unit relates to your sofa, side tables, and other pieces so you understand scale before construction.
What if my TV is mounted already?
We can design around existing TV mounts if they’re positioned well. If the mount location doesn’t work with the optimal wall unit design, we’ll recommend repositioning. We’re honest about when the existing mount works fine.
How do you size shelves for what I’m storing?
We ask what you’re storing during consultation: board games, books, photo albums, electronics, kids’ toys. Then we design shelf depths, heights, and cabinet sizes around those specific items. You get storage that actually works for what you own.
What about ventilation for equipment?
Electronics generate heat. We design open shelving or cabinets with ventilation for cable boxes, gaming consoles, and AV receivers. Equipment doesn’t overheat because airflow is planned from the start.
Can you include a fireplace in the design?
Yes. Many of our TV walls include an electric or gas fireplace as part of the build. We handle the framing, the venting (if required), and the finish work around the fireplace as part of the same project. The fireplace gets designed into the wall from day one, not added on at the end.
How do you price TV wall units?
We don’t give quotes without a design. The Interior Design Plan ends with a 3D of your wall, a scope of work and an estimated budget. Then we give you a build price based on that design. See what the Interior Design Plan costs →
Planning a TV wall in Toronto?
A wall that hides the cables, holds what you own and looks just like the 3D you approved. It starts with a free 15-minute call with Sandra. We’ll tell you honestly if custom makes sense for you.
