Almost all houses have at least one TV. It is one of the most fundamental electric appliances in interior design as it provides the latest information and entertainment in our daily life.
However, as technology advances, the size of TVs has been growing larger and larger. Although modern TVs are thinner in comparison, they still consume a considerably large amount of space.
Thus, what if your home layout doesn’t allow it due to the lack of space? For instance, your living room might not be big enough or the wall is not suitable for mounting.
Check out these clever ways of mounting your television which save a lot of space.

1. Hidden TV in the Cabinet
This seems like one of those imaginative designs you will encounter in sci-fi movies. It allows you to hide the TV inside a cabinet while keeping the top clear when it is not in use.
The way it works is simple: the cut-out lid on the top can be opened, enabling the TV to slide up. The potential downside is the flexibility in swapping the TV because of the different sizes.
On top of that, the cleverness in this design doesn’t guarantee satisfaction in terms of visuals, especially when you intend to make the TV a focal point of the living room.
You might want to opt for this design if you don’t watch TV regularly. The hiding function also prevents the dust from occupying the TV’s surface, so you don’t have to clean it consistently.
2. Pop-up TV in Kitchen Island
Similar to the first design, the TV is hidden when not in use. Instead of hiding it in a cabinet, this design conveniently conceals it inside the kitchen island to save space on the countertop.
If you have the habit of watching TV while having your meals, then you might want to incorporate this design into your home. Nonetheless, avoid having the TV popped up during meal preparation on the countertop, you might damage it unintentionally.
3. Ceiling Mounted TV
What if your room doesn’t have a wall close enough for you to watch TV, or there isn’t enough space to include a TV cabinet? Then, you might consider mounting your TV on the ceiling.
This design is perfect when there isn’t a wall facing the foot of your bed. It is highly flexible as you can adjust the TV’s tilt freely on the ceiling until you are comfortable with it. Thus, you can enjoy the comfort of watching TV while lying down in bed.
Moreover, you can keep the floor space clear of obstructions with this design, unlike those with large cabinets.
4. Slide-up and Rotatable TV
Just like the previous design, this one plays into our desire to lie in bed while enjoying our favourite TV shows. The only distinction is the way the TV is mounted.
Instead of hanging it on the ceiling, you conceal it inside a cabinet like the first and the second design, which is located at the foot of your bed. Additionally, it also doubles for storage.
The biggest advantage of this design is that the TV can be rotated in 360° once it is popped up, allowing viewing from all directions such as the sofa at the corner and the washroom.
5. TV Mounted Inside the Wall Cabinet
Concealable TVs are good for two reasons: saving space and cleanliness. This TV can be slid back into the cabinet when not in use to prevent dust.
It is mounted on a pull-out roller that slides into the cabinet without taking up much space, rather than using the pop-up mechanism like the rest.
Accompanied by the other cabinets, this interior design is considered the most space-saving.
6. Room Divider with Rotatable Mounted TV
If you have a bedroom joined by the living room, then this design is perfect in achieving convenience and functionality in your house.
In general, interiors like those of studio apartments with no partitions are suitable to use this design. Its core element is the multifunctional divider that separates the bedroom and living room.
There is a rotatable section in the middle of the divider where the TV can be mounted. This function allows you to rotate the TV to face either the bedroom or living room, which is extremely convenient when you want to switch places.
7. Ceiling Mounted TV with Track Lights
With the competition increasing in the market, interior designers come up with more unconventional designs to attract homeowners with different preferences.
Check out this bedroom which kills two birds with one stone by using the railing mount for its TV and track lights.
It might look weird to some, but the key is to use colour that matches your interior. For example, the railing in this design has a sky-blue colour that harmonizes with the grey ceiling and wall.
In an overall sense, the right colour beautifies the distasteful look of the railings with an industrial touch.
8. Slide-down TV Mount
Remarkably, the unique thing about this design is how the TV is concealed in comparison to other concealable TVs described here.
Until now, all concealable TVs we presented here are hidden in the cabinets. Meanwhile, in this design, the TV can be tucked away into the ceiling.
Furthermore, it leaves a clean and seamless look while remaining concealed without any wires or cables poking out from the ceiling.
9. Overhead TV with Foldable Arms
Another creative way to mount your TV is to combine the function of concealment with the ability to extend overhead, like this design.
The TV can be easily concealed into the headboard above your bed when not in use. It reduces space consumption in your bedroom to a great extent.
In terms of comfort, the extendable arms enable you to adjust the position of the TV right above the bed, so you can watch your favourite show while lying down in bed. However, you might need to ensure your safety by making sure the extendable arms are still durable.
10. Floating TV Mount on a Swivel Stand
One last brilliant design which doesn’t require much effort for installation and also saves a lot of space: mount the TV on a swivel stand.
All you have to do is install a pole in the middle of the room, then you can mount the TV on the swivel. It is much simpler than the rest of the designs, so the only thing you should consider is the aesthetic.
Therefore, it is a genius trick to watch TV from anywhere in the room since it is already positioned in the centre. However, avoid installing it near places where there is a constant movement that will disrupt viewing such as the entrance and corridor.
