Transform Your Living Room with a Wall-Mounted TV: Step-by-Step Guide

In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of transforming your living room with a wall-mounted TV using Condomounts' easy-to-use and reliable TV mounts.

If you're looking to elevate your living room's aesthetic and create a more streamlined entertainment area, wall-mounting your TV is an excellent option. A wall-mounted TV not only looks modern and sophisticated but also frees up valuable floor space. 


Step 1: Choose the Right Mount for Your TV

Before you start mounting your TV, it’s important to choose the right TV mount. Condomounts offers a variety of mounts designed for different TV sizes and wall types. For a fixed, sleek setup, a fixed TV mount works perfectly. If you prefer more flexibility, you can opt for a tilting or full-motion mount.

Consider the following factors when choosing your mount:

  • TV size: Ensure the mount supports your TV size (our mounts can accommodate TVs up to 75 inches).

  • Wall type: Our mounts are compatible with drywall, concrete, and even metal studs.

  • Mounting style: Decide if you want a fixed, tilting, or full-motion mount based on your preferences for adjustability.


Step 2: Gather the Necessary Tools and Equipment

Once you’ve selected the perfect mount, it’s time to gather the tools. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Drill
  • Measuring tape
  • Level
  • Pencil
  • Stud finder
  • Screwdriver
  • Wall anchors (if needed)

Don’t forget your Condomounts TV mount kit, which includes all the necessary screws, bolts, and instructions.


Step 3: Choose the Perfect Spot for Your TV

Finding the right location for your wall-mounted TV is key to creating a comfortable viewing experience. Consider the following factors:

  • Height:


    Your TV should be mounted at eye level when you're seated. A good rule of thumb is to place the center of the screen around 42 inches from the floor, but this can vary depending on the size of your TV and seating arrangement.

  • Viewing distance:
    Ensure your TV is at a comfortable distance from your seating area. Typically, the ideal viewing distance is 1.5 to 2.5 times the size of your TV.

  • Wall space:
    Make sure there’s enough room on the wall for the mount, and ensure no obstructions like furniture, windows, or outlets will interfere with the setup.



Step 4: Locate the Wall Studs

Using a stud finder, locate the studs in the wall where you'll be mounting your TV. Wall studs provide the most secure support for your TV, and mounting directly onto them will ensure the TV stays safely in place. Mark the stud locations with a pencil, as this is where you’ll drill.


Step 5: Install the Mounting Bracket

Now it’s time to install the mounting bracket. Follow these steps carefully:

  1. Measure and mark:
    Use your measuring tape and level to ensure the mount will be positioned straight and at the correct height.

  2. Drill holes:
    Drill pilot holes into the studs at the marked locations.

  3. Attach the bracket:
    Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the screws provided in the Condomounts kit. Use a level to ensure it’s straight before tightening the screws fully.


Step 6: Attach the TV to the Mount

With the mounting bracket securely in place, it’s time to attach your TV. Most TV mounts from Condomounts include a set of VESA-compatible mounting arms that you’ll attach to the back of your TV. Once the arms are in place, carefully lift the TV and hook it onto the wall bracket. Depending on your mount type, you may need to tighten a few bolts to secure it.


Step 7: Conceal the Cables (Optional)

For a clean, minimalist look, consider concealing the cables behind the wall. This can be done with a cable management system that runs inside the wall or by using an external cable cover. If you’d rather leave the cables visible, you can also use decorative cable management sleeves or clips to keep them organized.


Step 8: Enjoy Your New Setup

Once everything is mounted and the cables are neatly managed, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy your new wall-mounted TV setup. Whether you’re watching movies, playing games, or streaming your favorite shows, you’ll love the sleek, modern look and the extra space you've gained.
