How to Design a TV & Fireplace Wall That Actually Works

A well-designed TV and fireplace wall creates a balanced, intentional focal point. Choose from three proven looks to get a unified focal point in any room.

Option 1: Matched

Create a clean, simple look where TV and fire read as one feature by choosing a fireplace that’s about the same width as your TV (within 10cm overall).

Option 2: Balanced

Create a calm, balanced look by choosing a fireplace around 10-30cm wider overall than your TV, so the flame gently frames and grounds the screen.

Option 3: Statement

Create a bold, statement look by choosing a fireplace about 30-60cm wider overall than your TV, so the fire becomes the main feature.

Simple rules from the pros:

  • Aim for a TV width that matches or is slightly wider than the fireplace so the wall feels grounded and intentional.
  • In smaller rooms, use matched or gently wider proportions; save bolder widths for large or open-plan spaces.
  • Avoid TVs that are much wider than the fireplace unless you’re solving a specific layout challenge.
