How to Choose the Perfect TV Mount for Your Space

From Wall to Wow: Choosing the Perfect TV Mount

So, you've got the perfect TV — now, where and how do you hang it? Whether you're building the ultimate home theater or simply want to reclaim some living room space, choosing the right TV mount is just as important as picking the TV itself.  Mounting your TV on the wall can make your room look cleaner, more modern, and even safer. Whether you’re updating your living room, setting up an office, or creating a home gym, the right TV mount makes all the difference.

At CMTV Mounting, we specialize in transforming your space by expertly mounting your TV. Our mission is to create organized, comfortable, and stylish environments tailored to your needs.

Unsure where to begin? This guide will walk you through selecting the ideal TV mount to suit your space and preferences.

Why Mount Your TV?

Before we dive into picking the right mount, let’s talk about why wall-mounting your TV is a smart idea:

Maximize your space by removing bulky furniture and freeing up the floor area.

Enhance your space with a wall-mounted TV for a sleek, modern look.

Safer for kids and pets – Wall-mounted TVs are harder to knock over.

Achieve optimal viewing by positioning your TV at the perfect height and angle, tailored to your seating arrangement.

Understanding TV Mount Types

There are a few different kinds of TV mounts to choose from. Knowing the types will help you figure out which one fits your space best.

1. Fixed Mount

This is the most basic type. It keeps your TV flat against the wall with no movement. Fixed mounts are great if you always watch TV from the same spot and don’t need to adjust it.

2. Tilting Mount

A tilting mount lets you move the TV up or down. This is helpful if you need to hang the TV higher on the wall and still want a good view. It also helps reduce glare from lights or windows.

3. Full-Motion Mount

Also called an articulating or swivel mount, this one gives you the most flexibility. Get the best viewing angle with a mount that swivels, tilts, and extends. These are perfect for large rooms, open floor plans, or if you want to watch TV from different angles.

4. Corner Mount

If you’re tight on space, a corner mount helps you use parts of the room that are often wasted. It’s a smart choice for bedrooms or smaller apartments.

5. Ceiling Mount

Don’t have much wall space? A ceiling mount might work for you. It hangs the TV from the ceiling and is often used in gyms, garages, or commercial spaces.

Each type has its pros and cons. The key is choosing a TV mount that fits your room and how you watch TV.

Things to Consider Before You Buy a Mount

When picking the best TV wall mount, you need to think about more than just style. Take note of the following items:

✅ TV Size and Weight

Not all mounts work with every TV. Ensure the strength of your mount to fit your TV’s size and weight. This info is usually listed on the box or in the product details.

✅ VESA Pattern

Mounting holes are situated on the back of your TV. These holes follow something called a VESA pattern, which is just a standard spacing for screws. Also, confirm your TV’s VESA pattern with that of the mount specifications before installation.

✅ Wall Type

Each wall is different and needs different tools. Mounting on drywall is different from that of a brick or concrete wall. Be sure you have the right anchors and tools—or even better, get professional help.

✅ Viewing Height

The center of your TV should be at eye level when you're sitting down. This helps avoid neck or eye strain.

✅ Cable Management

Do you want your wires hidden? Some mounts come with cable covers or channels to keep everything neat and clean.

TV Mounting Tips to Make Things Easier

Once you pick your mount, follow these TV mounting tips for a smooth setup:

• Locate the wall studs – Securing your mount to the studs ensures maximum strength and safety.

• Ensure precise placement by measuring the desired height and centering your TV before drilling.

• Use a level tool to align your TV for a straight, professional-looking installation.

• Get help – TVs are heavy. Don’t try to lift and mount one alone.

• Think ahead – If you plan to add a soundbar or move furniture later, plan your setup now.

Best TV Mounts for Small Spaces

If you live in a small apartment, condo, or dorm room, space is limited. And that's when it's important to choose the right TV mount for small spaces. Here are a few good options:

• Corner mounts – These let you use space that might otherwise be wasted.

• Swivel or full-motion mounts – Let you move the TV into view when needed and push it back when not.

• Low-profile mounts – Give a spacious look and enhance the flow by negating bulky TV stands.

With the right mount, even the smallest rooms can feel bigger and more comfortable.
