TV Wall Bracket: De-Clutter and Free Up TV Stand Space by Wall-Mounting Your TV

The next level of contemporary interior design would be deciding to wall-mount your TV and free the space from the previous TV shelf. You know how Feng-Shui says: the less clutter, the bigger the flow of positive energy in the house. Plus, not to even start talking about how fancy it looks when your TV is mounted on the wall – so modern and out of the ordinary, it’s an interior design technique that instantly makes the TV a focal point in the room. Plus, visibility is so much better when the TV is lifted on eye-level.

Wall-mounting your TV is very easy actually; it doesn’t require a lot of effort, just a little good and organized planning such as deciding where do you want to mount the TV and how high do you want to place it? With that being said, you just need to get one small thing besides the obvious tool box: a TV wall bracket.

The TV wall bracket serves exactly the purpose – to wall-mount your slim, light-weighted plasma TV on a height that will allow you to enjoy a perfect picture in a perfect couch position. Now, getting the right wall bracket is a whole other story since there are different types and designs and choosing the right one depends largely on how you want to position your TV.

Fixed mount

You should get a fixed mount if you’re aiming towards positioning the TV closer to the wall. It doesn’t feature angle adjustments which means you can’t change how you see the TV. Thus, it’s going to stay in the the position you choose from the very beginning and that is parallel to the wall. With that being said, you only get one height option and that is the one you’re going to choose before you position the bracket, so make sure it’s on eye-level.

A tilt mount

The tilt mount is more versatile in the options it offers: it allows for vertical angle adjustment which is perfect if you want to position your TV above the optimum viewing level. That means you can go with the fancy option and place your TV a little higher than standard, especially if your room has a fireplace. You can even place a screen in your bathroom to create an ambiance. Another great advantage of using a tilt mount is the reduction of screen reflections that this bracket allows.

A ceiling mount

If your space is large and there are no walls to divide it into separate rooms, then a ceiling TV bracket is going to be perfect. For instance, this would be the ideal choice if your dining room and living room are connected. The TV can be placed on a rotating TV bracket which allows you to adjust the TV towards the dining room or the living room, as needed. Also, some walls simply don’t allow a wall-mount to be installed, which means in this case the smartest thing to do is go with a ceiling mount.

Final word of interior design wisdom would be to take this option seriously. A TV on a shelf means too much space occupied and that consequently draws even more clutter because you’ll want to place a disk holder, photo frames and other small décor elements that will only collect dust in the open. Keep the design modern and fancy and skip that part from your rooms’ appearance.
