Ever stared at a freshly unboxed flat-screen TV and wondered, “Now what?”
You’re not alone. Whether you just moved in, upgraded your entertainment system, or finally ditched your old console, mounting a TV properly can feel like a daunting next step. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to drill into your walls to get that clean, modern look.
With the right TV stand—or a well-planned wall setup—you can create a stylish, functional space that’s fully customized to your lifestyle. This guide walks you through both methods and introduces easy, beautiful solutions from Povison, where every piece arrives ready to live in.
Why Mount Your TV on a Stand?
Mounting your TV on a TV stand is a great solution if you want to avoid drilling holes, preserve your walls, or prefer a more flexible layout. Many stands today feature sleek, modern designs and integrated storage, making them both functional and beautiful.
This method also makes future moves or room changes much easier—just unplug, reposition, and you’re done.
Step-by-Step: How to Mount a TV on a TV Stand
Step 1: Choose the Right TV Stand
Look for a TV stand with a back panel or vertical support designed for mounting. Make sure it supports your TV’s weight and size, and that the mount follows the VESA standard (a universal system for TV brackets).
Step 2: Get the Tools Ready
You’ll typically need:
-
A screwdriver or power drill
-
Mounting brackets and screws (usually provided with the stand)
-
A level and a measuring tape
-
A helping hand to lift the TV safely
Step 3: Attach Mounting Brackets to Your TV
Lay your TV face down on a soft surface. Attach the mounting arms to the VESA holes on the back using the appropriate screws.
Step 4: Mount the TV on the Stand
With your assistant’s help, lift and hook the TV onto the stand’s mounting panel. Ensure it’s securely fastened and properly aligned.
Step 5: Tidy Up the Cables
Use any built-in cable management channels or clips to neatly route your cords. This reduces clutter and protects against accidental tugs.
Prefer Wall Mounting Your TV?
Mounting a TV on the wall creates a sleek, modern look and frees up floor space. This method is ideal when paired with a floating TV stand underneath for storage and aesthetic balance.
Step 1: Choose a Compatible Wall Mount
Pick a bracket that matches your TV’s size and weight. Decide between a fixed, tilt, or swivel mount depending on your preferences.
Step 2: Locate Wall Studs and Mark Drill Points
Use a stud finder to locate safe mounting points, and mark the bracket holes carefully using a level.
Step 3: Install the Bracket
Drill into the studs and fasten the wall bracket securely. Make sure it’s completely level before moving on.
Step 4: Attach TV Brackets and Mount the TV
Fix the brackets to the back of your TV, then carefully lift and secure it to the wall mount.
Step 5: Hide the Wires
Use cord covers or in-wall cable kits to conceal wires. Pairing this look with a minimalist floating console completes the streamlined design.
