A TV in wall mount refers to a television that’s been securely attached to a wall using a specialised bracket or mounting system. In simple terms, it’s a way to display your TV off the floor and out of the way, creating a streamlined, modern look while freeing up valuable floor and furniture space.
The main reason Australians choose a TV in wall mount is that it enhances viewing comfort, boosts interior style, and maximises space, whether in living rooms, bedrooms, home theatres or multipurpose zones. Mounting a TV correctly can also improve ergonomics, reduce glare, and integrate audiovisual setups cleanly into your home design.
Types and Styles of TV Wall Mounts in Australia
TV wall mounts come in several styles to suit different rooms, screen sizes and viewing needs.
1. Fixed Wall Mounts
These hold the TV flat against the wall without movement — ideal for minimalist setups where the screen doesn’t need adjusting.
2. Tilting Wall Mounts
Allow the TV to tilt up or down slightly, reducing screen glare and improving viewing angle from lower or higher seating.
3. Full‑Motion / Articulating Mounts
These extend, swivel and tilt the TV in multiple directions — perfect for larger rooms or flexible viewing positions.
4. Ceiling TV Mounts
Useful in rooms where wall space is limited, like kitchens or RVs. They suspend the screen from the ceiling.
5. Recessed/Flush Mounts
These sit the TV closer to the wall, creating a built‑in, architectural appearance.
6. Corner TV Mounts
Designed for TV installation in room corners, maximising space in tricky layouts.
7. TV Lift Mounts
Motorised systems that raise and lower the TV from inside cabinetry — excellent for hidden views and luxury bedrooms.
In Australia, these mount types work well with contemporary interiors and can be styled alongside décor elements inspired by Zaffero, Gallery Home and Florabelle Collection.
How to Choose a TV Wall Mount
Here’s why choosing the right mount matters: the right wall mount ensures your TV is secure, ergonomically positioned and integrated with your design.
Step 1: Check the TV Size and Weight
Wall mount brackets are rated for specific TV widths (in inches) and weight capacities. Choose one that matches your TV’s size and weight.
Step 2: Measure Viewing Height and Distance
As a guideline:
Step 3: Select Mount Type Based on Use
-
Fixed mounts: Best for straightforward, clean installations.
-
Tilting mounts: For rooms with windows or glare concerns.
-
Full‑motion mounts: When you want maximum viewing flexibility.
Step 4: Consider Wall Type
-
Gyprock / plasterboard: Use appropriate anchors or mount to studs.
-
Brick or concrete: Suitable for secure, permanent fixing.
Step 5: Cable Management
Plan how cables, soundbars or streaming devices will be routed — wall‑mounted conduit, in‑wall kits or cord covers keep the look tidy.
Step 6: Check Additional Features
Look for safety locking mechanisms, level indicators and built‑in cable channels for easier installation and safety.
Choosing the right mount enhances both functionality and visual appeal in your entertainment space.
