Bring the Whole Entertainment Space Together
A great entertainment setup is about more than mounting a television on the wall.
The screen, speakers, lighting, power, networking, storage and room layout all affect how the finished space looks and how easy it is to use.
At Calico, we can bring those elements together as one project, combining technology with electrical work, carpentry and finishing so the system feels like part of the room rather than a collection of equipment added afterwards.
Media Systems for Different Rooms & Lifestyles
Whether you want a clean living-room media wall or a dedicated cinema space, the system can be planned around the room and the way you actually use it.
Media Walls
Combine a television with bespoke cabinetry, shelving, lighting and concealed services to create one integrated feature wall.
Home Cinema Rooms
Create a dedicated cinema space with display, sound, lighting and room layout considered together for a more immersive experience.
Integrated TV Installations
Position televisions properly within the room while considering power, cabling, viewing angles, furniture and the finished appearance around them.
Speaker & Audio Systems
Plan speaker positions, cable routes and equipment locations around the room rather than treating audio as an afterthought.
Gaming & Multi-Media Spaces
Create dedicated areas for consoles, PCs, screens, controllers and other equipment with power, networking and storage planned in from the start.
Multi-Room Entertainment
Where the project requires it, entertainment equipment, networking and audio can be considered across several rooms rather than only one space.
The Best Media Installations Start Behind the Surface
Sockets, network cables, speaker wiring and equipment connections are much easier to integrate neatly when they are planned before a room is finished.
During a renovation, extension or new media-wall project, cable routes and electrical supplies can often be concealed within the structure rather than relying on visible trunking afterwards.
Calico can coordinate the electrical, carpentry and finishing work around the system so the technology and room are designed together.
Start With How You Want to Use the Space
A room used mainly for watching films may need something very different from a family living room or a space designed around gaming and music.
Viewing distance, seating position, windows and room layout all influence the best place for the main display.
Speaker positions should work with the listening area and furniture rather than simply fit wherever there is wall space.
Televisions, consoles, amplifiers, streaming equipment and lighting all need appropriate supplies in the right places.
Reliable connectivity can be important for streaming, gaming, smart devices and other connected equipment.
Consoles, remotes, controllers, media, speakers and equipment can be integrated into bespoke cabinetry.
Ambient and feature lighting can transform the atmosphere of a media wall or entertainment room.
From Equipment List to Finished Room
We start by understanding what you use, what you want to achieve and how the room needs to work before planning the installation around it.
Understand
We discuss the television, audio, gaming, streaming and other equipment you want the room to support.
Plan
Screen position, cabinetry, power, networking, lighting and cable routes are considered together.
Build & Prepare
Electrical work, cabling, carpentry and any required wall or ceiling preparation are coordinated.
Install & Finish
The equipment is positioned and the surrounding cabinetry, decoration and finishing details bring the room together.
Turn a Blank Wall Into the Focus of the Room
A carefully planned media system can turn an ordinary wall into a cleaner, more useful and more visually considered part of the room.
Before 
After Hide the Clutter. Keep the Experience.
The best entertainment spaces make the technology easy to use without allowing cables, sockets and equipment to dominate the room.
Technology, Carpentry & Finishing in One Project
Media installations often sit between several different trades. The television installer may not build the cabinetry, the carpenter may not plan the cabling and the electrician may not know how the finished wall is intended to look.
Calico's full-service approach allows those elements to be considered together.
We can coordinate the appropriate specialists while keeping the finished room in view, so the technology supports the design rather than fighting against it.

Media & Entertainment FAQs
Can you build a complete media wall?
Yes. A media wall can include television mounting, bespoke cabinetry, shelving, lighting, electrical supplies, cable routes and storage depending on the design and equipment being used.
Can you hide all of the television cables?
Where the construction and room allow, cable routes can be planned within walls, cabinetry or dedicated service spaces to reduce visible wiring.
Can you install a home cinema room?
Yes. We can coordinate the room layout, display position, speakers, lighting, power, cabling and surrounding building or finishing work required for a home cinema space.
Can you install speakers into walls or ceilings?
Potentially, yes. Speaker type, location, cabling, access and the construction of the room need to be considered before deciding on the appropriate installation.
Can you build storage around my TV and equipment?
Yes. Our carpentry background means cabinetry can be designed around the television, consoles, speakers, amplifiers and other equipment rather than being restricted to standard media furniture.
Can you add LED or feature lighting?
Yes. Feature lighting can be incorporated into shelving, cabinetry and media-wall details alongside the wider electrical installation.
Can you provide network connections for streaming and gaming?
Yes. Network requirements can be considered as part of the project where hard-wired connectivity or additional infrastructure would improve the finished setup.
Can you create a gaming room as well as a cinema room?
Yes. Entertainment spaces can be designed around gaming, television, films, music or a combination of several different uses.
Can I supply my own television and equipment?
Yes. If you already own or have chosen the equipment, we can plan the surrounding room, power, cabinetry and cable routes around it. If the equipment has not yet been selected, we can discuss what the room needs to accommodate.
Is it better to plan a media system during a renovation?
Often, yes. When walls and ceilings are already being altered, there are usually more opportunities to position power, network and speaker cabling neatly before the finished surfaces are completed.
What Would Your Perfect Entertainment Space Include?
A clean media wall? Hidden cables? Surround sound? Gaming? A full cinema room? Or simply a television installation that finally feels like part of the room?
