Design Report & Material List

Design Concept

This design wraps the TV wall in classic picture-frame molding and warm brass sconces to create a tailored focal point that feels finished even when the screen is raised. The layered neutrals and mixed wood tones keep the space approachable and timeless.

Key Decisions

  • Molded wall panels add architectural interest without competing with the TV; painted in the wall color, they stay subtle and cohesive.
  • Slim brass sconces flank the cabinet at eye level, casting a warm glow that softens the room after dark without glare on the screen.
  • Tall fiddle-leaf fig balances the wall's vertical scale and fills the awkward gap beside the kitchen opening.
  • Narrow framed botanical print sits where the raised TV won't block it, giving the eye a resting point on the right side of the composition.

Sizing Note

The molding frames are sized to clear the raised TV by at least 6 inches on all sides—measure your TV's full height when lifted before finalizing panel placement. If hardwiring sconces isn't feasible, plug-in versions with cord covers in matching wall color achieve a similar look for $40-80 less in labor.
