A mounting TV mount is a specialised bracket or hardware system used to safely attach a television to a wall, ceiling, or other structural surface. In simple terms, it allows your TV to be set securely in place — whether you want it flush against the wall, angled for better viewing, or even hidden when not in use. Mounting TV mounts come in a range of designs to support different screen sizes and room layouts, providing both practical functionality and a clean, streamlined aesthetic.
Here’s why Australians love mounting TV mounts: they free up floor space, create a modern look, optimise viewing angles, and help integrate your screen elegantly into the room’s décor. From compact urban apartments to open‑plan living areas, a well‑chosen TV mount enhances comfort, safety and style.
Types & Styles of Mounting TV Mounts
Mounting TV mounts are available in a variety of styles to suit different spaces, screen sizes and design intentions. These are the most popular options in Australia:
1. Fixed TV Mounts
-
Hold your TV flush against the wall in a fixed, non‑adjustable position.
-
Ideal for minimalistic setups where viewing angle doesn’t need to change.
-
Offers a clean, low‑profile look that feels built‑in.
2. Tilting TV Mounts
-
Allow the screen to tilt slightly upwards or downwards.
-
Perfect for mounting above a fireplace or higher on a wall.
-
Reduces glare and improves viewing comfort.
3. Full‑Motion (Articulating) TV Mounts
-
Feature arms that extend, swivel and pivot the screen in multiple directions.
-
Ideal for open‑plan spaces or rooms with multiple seating areas.
-
Offers maximum flexibility for adjusting viewing angles.
4. Ceiling TV Mounts
-
Used when wall mounting is not possible, such as on feature walls with limited space.
-
Great for kitchens, open lofts, or commercial settings.
-
Some models offer tilt and swivel capabilities too.
5. Recessed/Flush In‑Wall Mounts
-
These mounts allow the TV to sit almost entirely inside a wall cavity.
-
Creates a seamless, architectural look.
-
Often used in high‑end residential designs.
6. Corner TV Mounts
Mounting TV mounts are engineered to support specific VESA patterns (standardised mounting hole placements on the back of TVs), ensuring compatibility and safety across a broad range of screen brands and sizes.
How to Choose a Mounting TV Mount
Choosing the right TV mount involves thinking about screen size, wall type, viewing positions, and cable management. Here’s your step‑by‑step guide:
Step 1: Measure the TV & Wall
-
Check your TV’s size, weight and VESA pattern.
-
Ensure the wall section can structurally support both the mount and the TV.
Step 2: Select Mount Type Based on Room
-
Fixed mounts for minimal movement and a sleek aesthetic.
-
Tilting mounts for high or glare‑prone walls.
-
Articulating mounts for versatile viewing across living spaces.
Step 3: Consider Viewing Height & Distance
Step 4: Wall Material & Fixings
-
Common Australian wall types include plasterboard (gyprock), brick and concrete.
-
Different wall types require specific fixings — always use appropriate anchors and studs.
Step 5: Cable Management
Step 6: Ergonomics & Safety
Step 7: Future Flexibility

Styling Advice
Here are expert tips to integrate your mounting TV mount seamlessly into your décor:
Place at Optimal Eye Level
Mount the TV so its centre is roughly at eye height when seated — this improves comfort and reduces neck strain.
Create a Focal Media Wall
Consider a feature wall with textured finishes (timber, plaster, paint), shelving and subtle lighting to frame your mounted screen.
Hide Cables Neatly
Use concealed cable management solutions — in‑wall kits or channel covers — to maintain a streamlined look.
Coordinate with Furniture
Choose media cabinets or shelves that balance the mounted TV without distracting from the screen.
Balance Light & Reflection
Avoid placing TVs opposite large windows or bright light sources to reduce glare; use curtains or blinds when needed.
Match Finishes
Choose mount finishes (matte black, brushed metal, white) that align with your décor — matching black mounts with darker walls or white mounts with lighter palettes.
