Mounting TVs in Open Concept Homes
Open concept homes present unique TV mounting challenges. Here is how to choose the right wall, mount type, and position when your living space flows into the kitchen and dining area.
The Challenge of Multiple Viewing Areas
Open concept homes are popular across the service area, especially in newer construction in communities like Erie , Frederick , and your area. The living room flows into the kitchen and dining area, creating one large shared space. This design is great for entertaining but creates a TV mounting challenge: where do you put the TV so it is visible from multiple areas? The couch might face one wall, but you also want to see the screen while cooking or eating at the kitchen island. Finding the right wall and the right mount type is the key to making an open concept TV setup work well.
Why Full Motion Mounts Shine in Open Floor Plans
In most open concept homes, a full motion articulating mount is the best choice. It lets you pull the TV away from the wall and swivel it to face different areas of the room depending on where you are. Watching from the couch? The TV faces straight ahead. Cooking in the kitchen? Swivel the TV 30 degrees to the left so you can see the screen from the island. This flexibility is exactly what open concept living demands. The mount arm extends far enough to clear any adjacent walls or furniture, and the swivel range covers the angles you need. When you are done, the TV pushes back flat against the wall for a clean look. For rooms with multiple seating areas, a full motion mount eliminates the need to choose just one viewing position.
Choosing the Right Wall
In an open concept layout, you often have fewer wall options than in a traditional enclosed room. The TV wall needs to be visible from the primary seating area and ideally from at least one secondary area like the kitchen. Corner walls can work well with a full motion mount because you can angle the TV outward into the open space. A wall that separates the living area from a hallway or staircase can also be a good option if it provides the right sight lines. Avoid mounting the TV on a wall that faces large windows directly, as glare will be a constant issue. Your technician can help evaluate the available walls and recommend the position that serves the most areas of the room.
