Mounting a TV in a corner: save space without compromising on installation
A television in a corner can be a good solution when the room has little straight wall space. A swiveling wall mount can direct the screen from the corner toward the viewing area. Determine in advance how far the TV needs to swivel and how much space the screen corners require.
Check the screen weight, VESA size, wall construction, and required extension length before drilling.
Which corner mount do you need?
With a regular swivel mount, the wall plate is usually attached to one wall. You then need sufficient arm length to swing the screen out of the corner. A specially designed corner mount may have a different mounting geometry. Measure half the screen width and the clearance on both sides so that the screen does not hit the other wall.
View the TV wall mounts and check the extension length and swiveling capability for each product.
Corner mounting in four steps
- Measure the actual TV width and mark the screen position on both walls.
- Check the viewing height from the sofa and the distance to the screen.
- Assess the load-bearing capacity of the selected wall and check for pipes and cables.
- Use the mount's installation drawing and test the full range of movement before mounting it permanently.
A drywall is not automatically suitable: the structure behind the panel and the specified fixing method are decisive. If in doubt, have the installation assessed.
Frequently asked questions about corner TV mounting
Can a regular swivel TV mount be installed in a corner?
Often, yes, provided the arm is long enough and the screen can move freely.
Does the mount have to be attached exactly in the corner?
No. Many solutions are mounted on one of the two walls. The right position depends on the dimensions and arm length.
Can I hang a large TV in a corner?
That depends on the weight, screen width, supporting structure, and mount capacity.
