A Feature Wall That Feels Purposeful, Not Just Decorative
A feature wall can transform a room but only when it is designed with intention. The wrong materials or proportions can make a space feel busy or dated. The right feature wall adds character while improving how the room functions. It can create a clear focal point, bring warmth into modern interiors and help define zones in open plan homes.
Caliber Kitchens designs feature walls that suit Canberra homes, from clean modern living rooms through to warm family spaces. We start by understanding what you want the wall to achieve. Some homeowners want a statement backdrop behind a TV. Others want display shelving, hidden storage or a feature that anchors a lounge area.
Your needs lead the design, creating a feature wall that fits the home seamlessly and feels considered from the start.
Designed Around Your Style
Every room has a different purpose which means every feature wall should be designed differently. We take the time to discuss your requests, your style preferences and how the room is used day to day. That helps us choose the right type of feature, the right scale and the right layout.
We consider things like:
- Viewing angles and screen height if it is a media wall
- Natural light and how it affects finishes
- Furniture placement and how the wall will sit behind it
- Storage needs and what should be visible or hidden
- How to keep the design balanced so it feels refined
If you have inspiration images, we can help interpret them in a way that suits your room size and ceiling height. If you are unsure what direction to take, we can guide you toward options that match the home and will still feel current in years to come.
Media Walls That Look Clean & Tidy
A media wall is one of the most popular feature wall requests because it solves multiple problems at once. It can make the TV feel integrated into the room while hiding cables, devices and clutter that usually ends up in plain view. A well designed media wall also improves visual balance so the room feels more considered.
Media wall features can include:
Built in cabinetry below for hidden storage
Floating shelves for styling and display
Recessed niches for devices
Space planning for soundbars and console units
Cable management for a clean look
The goal is a setup that works for everyday life. You should not have to redesign the room to accommodate the TV. The joinery should support the way you use the space.

Joinery & Shelving That Adds Storage & Personality
Not every feature wall needs a TV. Many feature walls are designed to add storage and styling space, especially in living rooms, hallways and home offices. Built in shelves, cabinetry and display zones can create a room that feels richer and more complete.
We can design:
- Floor to ceiling shelving walls
- Cabinets with a mix of open and closed storage
- Display niches for books, art and décor
- Entry feature walls with hooks and storage
- Bedroom feature joinery with integrated storage
Open shelving adds personality but it needs balance. Too much open shelving can feel messy, while too little can feel flat. We help you find the right mix so the wall feels practical and easy to maintain.
Materials & Finishes That Lift The Room
Feature walls work best when materials are chosen with care. We help you select finishes that match the home and create the atmosphere you want. That might mean adding warmth with timber tones, creating contrast with darker cabinetry or using textured finishes that add depth without being overpowering.
Common finish directions include:
- Timber look battens for warmth and texture
- Painted cabinetry for a clean modern look
- Neutral textured panels for subtle depth
- Dark feature finishes for contrast and drama
- A blend of materials for a more custom feel
We also consider how the feature wall relates to flooring, wall colour and existing joinery so the whole room feels cohesive.
Proportion & Detail Make The Difference
The difference between a feature wall that looks premium and one that looks average often comes down to proportion and detail. We pay attention to scale, spacing and alignment so the wall feels intentional.
That includes:
- Even spacing of battens or panels
- Clean alignment with cabinetry and shelving
- Balanced shelf heights and widths
- Consistent hardware and finishes
- A considered layout that suits the room’s shape
These details help the wall feel integrated and refined.
A Smooth Process From Concept To Installation
Feature walls can be straightforward or complex depending on what you include. Either way, we keep the process clear. We start with a consultation to understand the room and your goals, then develop a design that fits the space. Once selections and details are confirmed, we schedule production and installation to keep the project moving.
Typical stages include:
Consultation & Measure
Design Planning & Layout Confirmation
Finish Selection & Detailing
Manufacture & Scheduling
Installation & Finishing Touches
Final Review & Handover
