Most living rooms revolve around one thing—comfort. But when your wall lacks a focal point like a TV or mantel, it can feel incomplete. That was the case for a Knoxville homeowner who reached out to us with a blank slate and big dreams.


Starting from Scratch | No TV, No Mantel, No Problem

When our client contacted Knoxville Home Improvements, their living room wall was bare—no television and no mantel. They wanted a streamlined setup that looked like it had always been there, but weren’t sure where to begin.

Their goal was simple: flush-mount a new TV and install a mantel that would bring warmth and personality to the space.

The Dirty Work (Done Cleanly)

The main challenge? Stone. The wall was covered in it—and to make room for a flush-mounted TV and secure the mantel properly, we had to cut into the stonework. Not exactly a clean job... unless you’re us.

To minimize the mess and keep their home dust-free, we built a temporary dust wall around the workspace. This extra step made sure we didn’t just protect the look of the room—we respected their whole home.

How We Made It Happen

Here’s how we brought their vision to life:

  • Cut into existing stone to create a flush cavity for the TV

  • Mounted the television securely with all wiring concealed

  • Installed a mantel that anchors the room visually and practically

  • Set up a temporary dust wall to maintain cleanliness during the process

Why This Approach Worked

Rather than settling for a surface-mounted TV or an off-the-shelf mantel, our client wanted something that looked integrated—not tacked on. By cutting into the stone and tailoring every part of the installation, we made the new additions feel like they’d been part of the home all along.

It’s this kind of thoughtful customization that helps homeowners love their space even more.

The result? A sleek, inviting wall that makes the TV and mantel the natural focal point of the room. With no visible cords and perfectly balanced proportions, this living room finally has the warmth and function the client was after—all while staying within a $1,200 budget.
