How do you choose the right TV mount?

Mounting a TV is no longer just a practical way to save space

It’s also a way to add a sense of calm and style to your interior. Especially in modern living rooms, minimalist workspaces, or cozy bedrooms, a TV mount has become an essential part of the overall look. But how do you choose the right TV mount that suits both your TV and your interior style? In this blog, we’ll guide you through the process step by step.

Technical basics: What do you need for the right TV mount?

The first step in choosing the right TV mount is technical: you need to know what kind of TV you have so you can choose a mount that fits perfectly. Pay attention to the following points:

VESA size: This refers to the distance between the screw holes on the back of your TV. You can usually find it in the TV’s manual or printed on the back of the TV itself, for example, 200x200 mm or 400x400 mm.
Weight and size: The mount must be able to safely support the weight of your TV.
Screen size: Not every mount is suitable for every screen size.

Which type of TV mount suits you best?

Once you know which mounts are compatible with your TV, it comes down to personal preference. There are three main types of TV mounts:

Fixed mounts: These sit flush against the wall with no movement. Perfect for a clean, minimalist look if you always watch TV from directly in front.
Tilting mounts: Great if your TV is mounted higher up (like in a bedroom), allowing you to tilt the screen slightly downward for a better viewing angle.
Full-motion mounts: For maximum flexibility. You can easily rotate the screen toward the sofa, dining table, or even the kitchen.

Tip: Many people automatically go for a fixed mount, but don’t underestimate the benefits of a full-motion model, especially in open living spaces or multifunctional rooms.

The TV as part of your interior

And then there's the decorative aspect, arguably just as important as the technology. The way you mount your TV plays a big role in defining the look and feel of your space.

A wall with a neatly mounted TV on the right wall bracket looks more calm and spacious than a TV placed on a cabinet. It helps you avoid loose cables, extra furniture, and unnecessary visual clutter. With a wall mount, you can integrate your TV more subtly into the overall design.

3 decorative benefits of a TV Wall Mount

1. Sleek and Calm Appearance
Your TV appears to float on the wall, with no visible cables or stands. Especially in modern or minimalist interiors, this contributes to a clean, uncluttered look.

2. More Styling Freedom
Since you don’t need a TV cabinet, the floor space stays open, allowing other decorative elements to shine. Think of a sideboard with a stylish lamp, wall art, or a plant placed underneath.

3. Visually Balanced Design
A well-positioned TV at eye level creates a natural focal point in the room. It works especially well alongside a gallery wall, acoustic panel, or feature wall, enhancing the overall harmony of your interior.

Extra styling tip: pair with wall decor

Dare to play with composition! For example, mount your TV as part of a gallery-style wall with picture frames, shelves, or wall panels. Choose a wall mount that sits close to the wall, or one that swivels, depending on your needs and style.

Cable Management: invisible functionality.

One of the most common frustrations with wall-mounted TVs is visible wiring. Fortunately, most Vogel’s TV mounts come equipped with smart cable management systems. Cables are neatly routed through the arm or along the wall using an optional cable cover.

The result? You only see the screen, not the system behind it.

Tip: Use a cable cover in the same color as your wall, or hide the cables behind an acoustic wall panel for an even cleaner look.

Which wall mount suits your space?

Every room has its own atmosphere, and its own practical needs.

Living Room: A swivel mount is often the most practical and stylish choice here. You can adjust the viewing angle to suit different seating areas without compromising your interior design.
Bedroom: If you enjoy watching TV in bed, go for a tilting mount. Make sure the TV blends subtly into the space, perhaps combined with warm, indirect lighting for a cozy effect.
Kitchen or Home Office: A compact TV with a swivel mount is ideal in these spaces. Watch TV while cooking, or take a quick break during your work-from-home day.
