How to choose a TV stand or wall mount for your bedroom
TV mounting options for bedroom
Many households in the UK have more than one TV so in addition to the living room TV, many people have an additional one in the bedroom. When it comes to mounting your television, you have more options than placing it directly on a dresser or sideboard.
A TV stand can be a functional and aesthetic addition to your bedroom, enhancing both your viewing experience and the room's overall decor. A wall mount is another great option that saves space.
A TV stand or bracket for the bedroom?

When looking for a mounting solution for your bedroom, you have two main options: Mount it on the wall with a wall bracket or place it on a TV stand on the floor or a dresser. There are pros and cons with both solutions so make sure you think about your options and needs with your bedroom before making a decision.

A TV wall mount frees up space on surfaces like dressers and gives your bedroom a tidy clean look. Depending on the wall bracket you choose you also get to enjoy features like rotating your TV to the perfect viewing angle without leaving your bed. With a motorised TV wall mount, you can move your TV with a remote control, your voice or an app on your phone.

If there is no space on the wall or you want to place your TV on a dresser or table, a TV stand is a handy way to mount your TV.
For more flexibility, choose a swivel TV stand that allows you to adjust the viewing position without moving the stand. If you want to place your TV on a table or cabinet, a table top TV stand is the best option.
Useful functionalities for a bedroom TV wall mount

If you’ve decided to mount your TV on the bedroom wall, consider the features and functionalities you want and need for the best viewing experience.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Do you want to tilt your TV? If you mount your TV higher than eye level, tilting it will give you a better viewing angle.
- Will you watch TV from your bed or from different positions as well? If you want and need to be more flexible, choose a swivel TV bracket. For even more comfort, a motorised swivel TV bracket allows you to move the TV without getting up. Pre-defined viewing angles make the TV move into the perfect position after switching it on.
- If you want to place your TV in the bedroom corner, choose a wall mount that allows you to swivel your TV. For more tips, read this blogpost on how to mount a TV in the corner.

Materials for bedroom TV stands
The material of your TV stand can significantly impact its durability, appearance, and price. Most importantly, it makes a huge difference in how well it blends in with your interior or creates an eye-catching centrepiece.
Here are some common materials used in TV stands:
- Wood: Wood is a classic choice for TV stands, offering a warm and timeless appeal. Solid wood stands are durable and can last for many years. The price might be higher than other materials but it is worth considering for your bedroom because they tend to last longer.
- Metal: Metal TV stands are known for their durability and modern look. They are often used in industrial or minimalist bedrooms. Metal stands can be lighter than solid wood and are usually easier to move. You can also find a mix of materials in TV stands like steel and wood that combines a modern with a warmer look.
- Plastic: Plastic TV stands are the least expensive option and are available in various colours and styles. While they are lightweight and easy to clean, they may not offer the same level of durability as wood or metal stands. Steel and wood are usually more robust and long-lasting.
Where to place your TV in the bedroom
If you think about how and where to place your TV in the bedroom, there are two options: you can hide your TV or make it part of the interior design. You also need to keep in mind where you want to watch TV from.
Some tips on where to place or mount your TV in the bedroom:
- Make sure to mount it at eye level when you are sitting or lying in bed or sitting in an armchair. This ensures a comfortable viewing experience without straining your neck.
- Pay attention to any glare from windows. Placing or mounting the TV opposite a window sun can cause reflections. A swivel TV bracket can help reduce the reflections.
- Choose the right size and distance to the TV: The perfect distance is about 1,5 to 2 times the diagonal size of the TV. That means, for small bedrooms it’s a good idea to choose a smaller TV.
- Consider cable management. Make sure that there is a way to manage cables and wires to keep the area around the TV stand tidy. Many TV stands come with built-in cable management systems to help you organise cords and prevent clutter.
Want to hide or camouflage your TV in the bedroom?
Some people don’t enjoy the look of a prominent TV in the bedroom but thankfully there are ways to hide your TV or make it part of the interior:
- Mounting the TV on a dark wall makes it blend into the wall.
- Place plants and decorative objects around the TV to distract the view and balance the technical look with natural materials and decorations.
- Your TV can also be integrated in your bookcase if you place a TV stand on one of the shelves.
- Make your TV part of a gallery on the wall. If you place several photos or paintings in frames around your TV, it becomes part of the art gallery.
- In big bedrooms you could have an area just for watching TV, with a few armchairs or a small sofa.
