The Design and Installation
A Fully Managed Installation Process
One of the things we pride ourselves on at Mansfield Fireplaces is managing the entire project from start to finish. Once the design was confirmed, Gaz visited the property to carry out a full survey and measurement appointment.
During this stage, every aspect of the installation was discussed in detail, including:
- Shelving layouts
- Drawer and handle choices
- Socket placement
- Lighting considerations
- Finishing details
This planning stage is incredibly important for bespoke media walls. It helps to ensure the finished installation works perfectly both visually and practically.
The installation itself took place over three days. Gaz took the lead on the project, working alongside Kyle who handled the electrical work. Once complete, Ben carried out the final decorating work that brought the entire feature together beautifully.
The final addition of mirrored backing to the shelving helped elevate the whole design and added extra depth and luxury to the finished media wall.
Creating a True Feature Wall
The finished Mayfair installation completely transformed the room. The New Forest 1600 Black Edition electric fire creates a stunning flame picture. While the combination of shelving, storage and lighting gives the installation a high-end contemporary feel.
This is exactly why bespoke media walls continue to grow in popularity across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Sheffield. They allow homeowners to combine entertainment, storage and heating into one seamless feature.
For Paul, the result was everything he had hoped for after first spotting inspiration online.

“Amazing just wow !! We visited Mansfield Fireplaces looking for a media wall. We decided on The Mayfair and from the very beginning, the experience was excellent. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the options without any pressure. We were informed that our fitter, Gaz, would come out to measure up, and from that point on, nothing was too much trouble. He took the time to walk us through every detail of the design, including handles, drawers, shelving, and socket placement, ensuring everything was tailored exactly to our preferences. The installation took place over three days, with Gaz leading a team of three, including Kyle the electrician. Throughout the process, they were professional, courteous, and respectful of our home, always cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each day. Once the installation was complete, Ben the painter came in and truly transformed the media wall, bringing everything together beautifully. We were away on holiday for a few days, and when we returned, Gaz came back to add the mirrored backing to the shelves — the perfect finishing touch that gave the whole piece a real “wow factor.” ”
