Custom Entertainment Wall Remodel with a Linear Fireplace
A television on furniture against a bare wall became a full-height built entertainment wall — charcoal tile, split-face stone, a linear fireplace, and floating cabinets — by KBF Design Gallery, the design-build remodeler serving Central Florida.
The Remodeling Story
The television finally got architecture.
Before this remodel, the family room did what most family rooms do: a large television on a media stand against a painted wall, speakers standing on the floor, and everything the room stores in plain sight. It worked. It just never looked designed — and in a room the household faces every single evening, that matters more than almost anywhere else in the house.
The remodel builds the wall the television deserved. A full-height chimney of charcoal large-format tile now runs floor to ceiling at the center, carrying the television at eye level and, below it, a linear fireplace set behind glass in a stainless surround — two focal points stacked on one axis. On either side, panels of white split-face stacked stone catch the recessed lighting as texture, and floating white cabinets with slim brass-toned pulls put doors between the room and its clutter.
An entertainment wall is architecture doing furniture’s old job: the television, the fire, and the storage stop being objects in the room and become the room’s composition.
The palette is deliberately spare — charcoal, white stone, white cabinet fronts, dark floors — so the two glowing rectangles, screen and flame, do all the performing. The cabinets float clear of the floor, which keeps the heavy elevation feeling light and makes the dark floor read as one continuous plane beneath it.

The Record Behind the Room
Questions We Hear
What makes a built entertainment wall better than a media console?
Scale and honesty. A console is furniture parked in front of a wall; a built wall is the room’s architecture doing that job — the television hangs at the right height, the wiring disappears, the storage closes behind doors, and the whole elevation is composed instead of collected.
Can a television and a fireplace share the same wall?
Yes, when the wall is designed for both. Here they stack on one center axis — the linear fireplace sits in its own framed opening in the tile with the television above it, so each has its clearances and the room gets a single focal wall instead of two competing ones.
What are the materials on this wall?
Large-format charcoal tile on the center chimney, white split-face stacked-stone panels on the flanks, and floating white cabinets below — three textures, two tones, so the screen and the flame provide the color.
Does a project like this change the room’s footprint?
No. The transformation happened on one existing wall plane — which is what makes an entertainment wall one of the highest-impact single-room remodels: the room reads rebuilt, and no walls moved.
Does KBF handle the design and the construction?
Yes — one team from the first drawing through the final inspection. The tile chimney, the fireplace opening, the stone, and the cabinetry all had to be decided together. Our six-phase process is laid out at how we work.
Does the five-year warranty cover this work?
Our five-year craftsmanship warranty covers the work we build, including the tile, stone, and cabinetry installation. The details are published at our craftsmanship warranty.
