Benefits of a Wall-Mounted TV in the Bedroom
A TV Wall Mount can bring a variety of benefits to your bedroom. Aside from the obvious aesthetic appeal, there are other reasons why you should consider this upgrade.
Space Saver and Room Beautifier
One of the main advantages of Bedroom TV Mounting is the space-saving aspect. Traditional TV stands can take up a lot of space. With a wall mount, you can reclaim this space for other uses.
Moreover, a wall-mounted TV can enhance the overall look of your bedroom. By eliminating the need for a bulky TV stand, your room will feel larger and more open. This minimalist approach can contribute to a more modern and sleek aesthetic.
Improved Viewing Experience
Another significant benefit of a wall-mounted TV is the improved viewing experience. With the flexibility to choose the height and angle, you can place your TV in the optimal position for your comfort. This not only enhances your viewing experience but can also help reduce neck and eye strain.
Increased Safety
Wall-mounted TVs are also safer than their stand counterparts. They are less likely to tip over, making them a safer option for homes with children or pets. Furthermore, with the wires neatly tucked away, there is a reduced risk of tripping or electrical accidents.
Choosing the Right TV Wall Mount
Once you’ve decided to go for a TV Wall Mount Installation, it’s essential to pick the right mount for your TV and your needs.
Considering the Size and Weight of Your TV
Firstly, consider the size and weight of your TV. Not all mounts can support all sizes and weights, so make sure to check the specifications of the mount before purchasing.
Importance of VESA Standards
When choosing a mount, remember to check if it’s VESA compatible. VESA is a set of standards for mounting flat screens and ensures that the mount and TV will fit together. A VESA-compliant mount means your installation will be easier and safer.
Different Types of Wall Mounts and What They’re Best for
There are several types of wall mounts to choose from, each best for different situations. Fixed mounts are perfect for rooms where the seating position is fixed; tilting mounts offer a bit more flexibility and are great for rooms with various viewing angles; full-motion or articulating mounts allow for maximum flexibility, making them perfect for rooms with several seating areas.

Tools You’ll Need
For a smooth TV wall mount installation, you will need some essential tools. These include:
- Stud finder: This tool helps locate the studs in your wall.
- Drill: A power drill will make the process of making holes in your wall much easier.
- Screwdriver: This is used to secure the TV mount to the wall.
- Level: To ensure your TV mount is perfectly horizontal.
- Measuring tape: This tool is used to measure and mark the exact spot where you want your TV.
How to Find Studs in your Bedroom Wall
Locating the studs in your wall is crucial for the stability of your TV mount. Here’s a simple guide:
- Start by running the stud finder along the wall horizontally.
- When the stud finder indicates a stud, mark the spot with a pencil.
- Repeat the process vertically to confirm the location of the stud.
Marking the Mounting Spots
Proper marking is vital to ensure your TV is mounted at the right height and level.
- Use your measuring tape to determine the height at which you want your TV.
- Mark this point with a pencil.
- Use the level to draw a horizontal line on the wall.
Proper Bracket Attachment
To attach the bracket correctly:
- Align the mounting holes of the bracket with the studs on your wall.
- Use the drill to create pilot holes.
- Secure the bracket to the wall with screws.
Mounting the TV on the Wall
Once your bracket is secure, you can proceed to mount your TV:
- Attach the mounting arms to the back of your TV.
- Lift the TV and hook the mounting arms onto the bracket on the wall.
Safety Checks and Adjustments
After mounting, ensure to:
- Check the stability of the TV.
- Adjust the angle for optimal viewing.
- Ensure all screws are tight and secure.
Proper TV Height Guidelines
The ideal height for your TV is at eye level when seated. This reduces neck and eye strain.
Cable Management Ideas
Consider using cable covers or cable ties to keep your cables tidy and out of sight.

Questions we get asked
Bedroom TV Mounting Questions
The questions we get asked most on this one. If yours isn’t here, just ask us.
How high should a bedroom TV be mounted?
Higher than a living room TV, because you watch it reclined rather than sitting upright. We set it from where your head actually rests, propped against the headboard, and check the angle from there. A tilting mount helps a lot in bedrooms, since it lets the screen face down towards the bed.
What does bedroom TV mounting cost?
A fixed or tilt mount on regular drywall starts at $179.99 for TVs up to 65 inches, and a full-motion mount starts at $189.99. Most bedroom installs are a tilt bracket, which is at the lower end. Wire concealment adds from $99.99.
Can you hide the cables in a bedroom wall?
Yes, and it is the add-on most people want in a bedroom because there is rarely a media unit to hide anything behind. In-wall routing starts at $99.99 on regular drywall. Where the outlet is nowhere near the TV, we either fit an in-wall-rated power kit or run a paintable raceway.
Is a wall-mounted TV safer than one on a dresser?
In a bedroom, generally yes. A screen fixed into structure cannot be pulled off a surface, which matters if there are small children in the house. That only holds if it is anchored into studs or solid backing rather than into drywall alone, which is exactly what we check first.
Can you mount a TV on a bedroom wall with metal studs?
Yes. Metal studs are common in condos and newer builds, and they take a toggle system rated for the screen weight rather than standard wood screws. We work out what is behind the drywall before choosing the fixing, not after.
Will a full-motion mount work in a small bedroom?
It often works better than a fixed one, because it lets you angle the screen towards the bed and push it flat again when you are not watching. Our single-arm full-motion mount takes 37 to 70 inch sets up to 60kg with a 24 inch extension, which suits most bedroom-sized screens.
