Compare stone, tile, painted finishes and natural wood for your media wall.
Images labelled Design concept show possible finishes, not completed installations. We’ll choose the final color and texture with you using physical samples.
Natural mineral texture
A real stone surface on a thin, flexible backing. Mineral variation gives the wall depth, with the visual continuity of a single stone surface.
Stone veneer projects from $10,200. Final scope and material selection affect the price.
Choose this finish
Defined lines, stone-inspired tones
Porcelain in warm travertine, pale marble or graphite looks gives the wall a clear architectural pattern. Tile layout and grout color are part of the design.
Quoted for your selected tile and installation scope.
Choose this finish
Soft movement, hand-troweled finish
A plaster-like finish with subtle tonal movement. It gives a simple wall depth without a repeating pattern and works especially well beside natural wood.
Cloudy, brushed mineral color
A brush-applied mineral finish with soft, layered variation. Its cloudy character feels lighter and less uniform than standard painted drywall.
A rhythm of clean shadow lines
Painted boards bring order and texture to the wall. Horizontal or vertical lines can echo the proportions of the room and the surrounding cabinetry.
Consistent color and repeating profiles
A decorative panel option for fluted accents and selected wall sections. Neutral and wood-look finishes offer a more uniform pattern than natural timber.
An even, understated surface
A smooth, painted surface lets the wall’s proportions, joinery and lighting do the work. Use a coordinated color to connect the media wall to the rest of the room.
Fine surface relief, a consistent color
A subtle drywall texture under paint adds a tactile finish. It can also connect a new media wall to the existing texture elsewhere in your home.
Natural grain, a flat surface
A real wood face over a stable panel can bring walnut, oak or another selected species to the TV surround or cabinetry.
White oak brings warmth to a stone or painted wall. The wood species, grain direction, edge detail and finish should relate to the rest of your room.
A thin layer of real wood on a stable panel or built-up shelf. Useful for coordinated grain and clean box mantels. The face is natural wood, not a printed imitation.
Timber throughout the selected component. An option for shelves, mantels and accents when the span, thickness and natural wood movement suit the design.
Other veneer directions include teak, wenge and zebrawood. These species appear in the Austin Hardwoods catalog in Santa Ana. Reel Lumber in Anaheim is another local source for hardwoods and veneers. Current stock, cut and finish are confirmed for each project.
