Wall mounted TV shelf is a modern solution for your appliances.
It is important to choose the right material and place it correctly. Find out all the nuances you need to know about.

Wall mounted TV shelf may look different, made of different materials.
There are three main purposes that it can perform in the interior:
- TV placement . Over time, it becomes less and less relevant - many models are now mounted directly on the wall and do not need any additional support.
- Accessory location . If there are not enough horizontal storage surfaces in the room, a shelf under the TV can increase their number. In addition, it can accommodate accessories related to the TV itself - a DVD player, for example, or a collection of discs.
- Decor complement . The design can be multi-tiered, with walls, with a variety of decorations, lighting and complement the overall style of the room.
Appointments can often be combined. In some cases, a shelf can serve all three at once.
Convenient TV Shelf
When trying to imagine a shelf that will perfectly fit your TV, you must first determine what it will look like in terms of construction. There are several varieties - each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Hanging . Such structures have a mount from above - they are usually suspended from the wall on strong chains. They look impressive, especially if you choose a beautiful mount and emphasize it, but they require careful calculations, because the chain can break.
- On brackets . A bracket is a support piece that looks like a triangle. One leg is adjacent to the wall, the other to the bottom surface of the shelf.
There are brackets of the most intricate forms. They are considered a more reliable method of fastening than suspensions. - Angle . Such structures are fixed in the corners with hidden brackets and have a triangular shape. They allow you to place the TV without losing space, moreover, quite reliably.
Hanging structure
- Cast . These are made of glass or metal, giving them an intricate shape - ladders, cubes, smooth lines, similar to sea waves. They cost more than the rest.
- Frame . They look like a cabinet without doors, into which a TV is built. It forms something like a niche around it, allows you to stylistically highlight it in the interior.
Next, you need to understand what material the shelf will be made of.
After all, structural features determine little, except for the aesthetic impression. But the material from which the shelf is made affects the main performance characteristics.
Bracket - support piece
Shelves made of chipboard and MDF
Chipboard and MDF are considered synthetic materials, although they are made of wood.
Chipboard is made of sawdust and wood chips, which are compressed under high pressure using synthetic resins.
Chipboard shelf will have the following advantages:
- Low price. A chipboard sheet costs so little that it can be ignored.
- Sustainability. Chipboard is insensitive to moisture, does not suffer from temperature changes.
- The cons, however, make the pros practically useless.
- Lack of resistance to mechanical damage. Chipboard will easily crack from any impact - or a piece may break off from it.
- Impossibility of complex processing. A chipboard shelf will always have a rectangular shape, because when you try to cut it, it will simply crack. About the same thing will happen if you carelessly drill a hole for the bracket.
Corner design
Chipboard does not look very aesthetically pleasing and, if not manufactured according to technological requirements, it will release fumes that are poisonous to humans.
Tip
Chipboard shelf should only be installed as a temporary solution. Or if the entire design of the house is made using the cheapest materials possible.
MDF is slightly higher class. It is used for wood waste, chips and small debris, which are mixed with resin, heated, stirred to a homogeneous mass and pressed into sheets under high pressure.
Modern style
MDF shelf will have the following advantages:
- Easy to handle. MDF, unlike chipboard, easily takes any shape.
- Security. Unlike chipboard, MDF does not emit harmful fumes.
- Sustainability. With proper processing (due to which the construction will cost a little more), the MDF shelf will be insensitive to moisture, biological irritants, and fire. It can be washed with aggressive chemicals.
- Long service life. MDF is more reliable than chipboard, lasts longer, does not swell, does not bend, does not dry out over time.
Not bulky option
There are only two minuses:
- Price . Of course, it cannot be compared with the price of natural wood, but compared to chipboard it seems quite high.
- Softness . It is thanks to the softness of MDF that it is easy to process - but because of it, the shelf will be sensitive to mechanical damage. Chips with cracks will not appear on it, however - only dents, scuffs.
MDF with chipboard can be given the appearance of any natural material - this allows a protective coating that provides them with stability and can be of any color. On closer examination, the difference, of course, will be noticeable, but if you do not look closely, it is quite possible to be deceived.
Advice
If you want to install a TV in a bedroom where no one but you is really there, and the air humidity is low, MDF or chipboard will suit you.
Large room version
Made of wood
If you don't look closely, a shelf made of MDF or chipboard can go behind a wooden shelf. But their performance characteristics are still somewhat different.
Wood has the following advantages:
- Beauty. Of course, other materials can copy the appearance of wood in general terms - but it will still be different from them. The special texture, the presence of unique veins, knots, depressions on the surface, a slight smell add to it a special chic.
- Ease of processing. The tree can not only be given the desired shape, but also covered with intricate carvings, which will make the end result more interesting.
- Reliability. A wooden shelf can last for many years, especially if handled with care.
Wooden variant
Properly treated - and therefore somewhat more expensive - wood is also insensitive to moisture and biological irritants, and cannot leave splinters.
But even he has disadvantages:
- Flammability. Wood burns no matter how it is treated.
- Not resistant to high humidity and temperature changes. A treated tree can resist them, but the rest will quickly swell or, on the contrary, dry out in inappropriate conditions.
- Price. Natural wood - especially dense, reliable varieties - is expensive.
A wooden shelf can last for many years
Metal
Metal is a very original solution for any interior, especially if left unpainted, shiny. It does not suit all styles, it gives the room a somewhat cold, austere look. Has several benefits:
- resistance. The tree dries up or swells over time, chipboard with MDF crack or break, glass becomes cloudy or may break, but nothing is scary on a metal shelf - it does not burn, does not wear out, does not change color in the sun, is not afraid of biological hazards like mold or parasites .
Many metals don't even rust—and those that do can always be painted.
Hi-tech
- Easy maintenance . Metal does not attract dust. It is enough just to wipe it with a damp cloth so that it shines again, like on the first day after purchase.
- Reliability . A thin sheet of metal can withstand much more weight than a wooden board or chipboard sheet of the same thickness, plus it is practically insensitive to mechanical damage. The maximum is to leave a dent on it, which can then be easily straightened out.
It also has disadvantages:
- High price . Reliable stainless steel costs comparable to natural wood.
- Specific appearance . A metal shelf will look austere, make the room somewhat less cozy and much colder. It will not be able to fit into many styles - most classical ones, for example - and combine with many materials. For example, with a tree.
Metal and glass
The metal structure fits perfectly into the high-tech style, which is all combinations of glass and metal. It will look good in minimalism, in futurism, it will take root in the loft . But trying to insert it into country style, American style, eco and others, referring to closeness with nature, village life, natural materials, is not worth it.
Tip
When choosing metal as a material, make sure that it is of high quality. Low price, lack of a certificate, a seller who does not have positive reviews - all this may indicate that the design will fail very quickly. Rust, bend or simply fall.
Metal does not attract dust
Glass shelves
Glass is no less original material than metal. Fitting it into the interior is just as difficult. It has advantages:
- Aesthetics . This beauty is not like the beauty of a tree - more airy, lighter.
Glass will not make the room cozier, but it will make it colder and seem to be lighter. In addition, it can be additionally decorated with painting or laser engraving. - Stability . Glass is not afraid of almost anything - it does not change color in the sun, does not swell from moisture, does not crack from temperature changes, and does not suffer from biological threats. Does not absorb odors, is not afraid of aggressive chemicals.
- Reliability . A thin sheet of glass can support a lot of weight - if it's properly tempered glass. It can serve for decades, does not change shape.
- Variety . There is a variety of glass, which differs in performance, in appearance.
Glass - original material
There are also disadvantages:
- Price. Comparable to the price of metal and natural wood.
- Lack of resistance to mechanical damage. Even the strongest glass breaks with a strong impact - the only question is how exactly the fragments will scatter.
From cheap glass, they will sprinkle with a rain of small crumbs. They will fly off from the expensive in large pieces with blunt edges that cannot be cut. - Slippery surface. It is better not to put anything on the glass that can slip off. And under what cannot, it is worth enclosing a napkin so that there are no scratches left.
- Complexity of maintenance. Cleaning the glass with a cloth is easy. But if it gets dirty, washing it so that there are no stains is a non-trivial task, which will require special skill, a special soft cloth, special chemicals.
A thin sheet of glass can withstand a lot of weight
Unlike chipboard, metal, wood, glass can be very different in price and quality.
Allocate:
- Sheet . An immortal classic — thin, transparent, breaks into many small fragments. Will only fit a small light TV.
- Hardened . The same sheet, but treated with high temperature. More durable, breaks into large fragments with blunt edges.
Suitable for medium TV. - Triplex . Glass glued in several layers - in the middle there is a special layer that holds the layers together. Triplex does not break, only cracks. This is what is used to make bulletproof glass. Suitable for large TV.
- Float . Molten glass is poured onto molten metal, and then cooled - as a result, it turns out to be as even as possible. Currently, it is most often used for shelves.
- Reinforced . If you have a very large and heavy old TV, this glass is the best fit for it. In the thickness of it is a metal mesh, which provides it with greater strength than all other species. On impact, it does not crack, most often it does not even crack. The texture is usually in a small square.
- Acrylic . Not exactly glass - a thin transparent plastic that mimics glass. It scratches easily, burns, but is much stronger than ordinary glass. It can be drilled, it can be turned, it can be painted, it can be cut.
Suitable for a small TV - or for a purely decorative shelf that has no support.
Compact version with metal and glass elements
Triplex costs the most, acrylic and sheet glass the least.
Tip
Glass goes well with both metal and wood. It will look best in hi-tech, but can also look good in more classic styles.

How to decorate shelves?
Having imagined what kind of structure the shelf should have and what material it should be made of, it remains only to decide how it will be decorated.
Classic style
Commonly used:
- Brackets . This is the most common solution, with which you can decorate all shelves, except for glass ones - you cannot drill the necessary holes in them. Arms can be strictly geometric, with floral patterns, with geometric patterns, as well as the most original forms - if you search, you can find in the form of trees, birds, animals, human figures. Intricate brackets look especially good in classic interiors like English.
- Thread . Suitable for decorating wooden shelves. It is applied most often to the end, where it will be visible. Usually these are simple geometric patterns or floral motifs. Great eco solution.
- Painted . You can paint any surface, even metal - good, suitable paints can be found in any art store. Usually painted side sections.
- Engraved . Used for glass or metal - leaves a shiny bright mark. You can make a pattern with it, you can put an interesting quote on the side cut.
In white
The idea of placing additional shelves around the main TV shelf and placing accessories on them is also a success - they will be better visible than the patterns or carvings .
These can be:
- Flowers . Fresh flowers in pots are ideal for the American style, for a cozy country, frivolous Provence. Small vases with bouquets that change every few days are an addition to American retro. Flowers should be chosen according to taste, but they should not be too bulky.
- Photos . They fit well into almost any style, except for those that do not tolerate accessories in principle. It is best if these are professional photos that are pleasant to look at, which have not only nostalgic, but also artistic value.
- Figurines . They are far from appropriate in all interiors, but they can look beautiful, especially if you arrange figures from the same collection.
- Discs . Bright boxes of discs for a DVD player are also a kind of accessory that will suit the classic styles of the twenties.
Small wooden shelf
In addition to the most common options, you can arrange basically anything around the TV - books, collectible figures of comic book characters, a beaded tree, origami complex structure.
Tip
You can decorate not the shelf itself, not additional shelves, but the wall behind them, near the TV. There you can hang a piece of photo wallpaper, a poster with a movie star or a rock band, draw graffiti there. Of course, such liberty is not suitable for all styles, but it will fit perfectly into a loft, for example.
Minimalist style
Lighting also plays an important role in shelf design. It is able to highlight the entire corner with the TV.
Most commonly used:
- Spot light .
Small round lamps are installed on the ceiling, some distance from the TV. Being turned on when all the rest of the light is off, they highlight the "cinema zone", allow you to save your eyes from unnecessary stress. If desired, you can adjust the intensity of their light. Or hold a separate switch for each small lamp. - LED strip . It is usually stretched along the very edge of the shelf - or shelves. She will emphasize them in the dark, add a mysterious shimmer to them. Can change color, light intensity. It doesn’t look too good with wood, either natural or artificial, it is best suited to glass - if you install it discreetly, from the edge pressed against the wall, the shelf will glow from the inside, like an enchanted jewel.

The LED strip can serve as a night light if you use it in the bedroom or nursery.
Combination of design for books and TV
home. First of all, you should consider in which room the shelf will be located.
If it is a kitchen, there are a number of factors to consider:
- Constant temperature fluctuations. The kitchen cooks almost every day. The stove heats up, the air heats up with it, and then cools back down in a few hours. Therefore, the shelf must be insensitive to drops.
- Constant fluctuations in humidity. The kettle heats up - steam is released. Soup water is heated - steam is released. The air in the kitchen is either saturated with moisture or more or less dry. Therefore, the regiment should not suffer from such a regime.
- Difficult conditions. In the kitchen, something is constantly pouring, eggs are broken, salads are mixed, something is fried in oil, something is baked in a red-hot oven. Under such conditions, it is very easy to inadvertently stain a shelf with anything - almost as easy as touching it with your hand out of absent-mindedness. Therefore, it should be easy to wash and be insensitive to mechanical damage.
Living room interior wall
If this is a living room, the shelf requirements are lower.
It is necessary to take into account only the aesthetic question. The whole family gathers in the living room, guests come to it. If this is not so important in the kitchen, then in the living room a shelf should be an ideal part of the interior. All materials are suitable for such conditions, except for chipboard, which looks too budget.
There are no requirements at all in the bedroom - this is a personal space, you can even put chipboard in it, if it suits you completely.
In the interior of the bedroom
But in the case of a child, the requirements for a shelf are no less strict than in the kitchen - but they are of a different kind.
The following factors must be taken into account:
- Safety . In the case of children - first of all. The shelf should not have sharp corners, it is better to mount it on reliable brackets away from the children's bed. It will not work to place it above the height of the child (it is harmful for the eyes to watch TV from the bottom up), so you need to make sure that it does not harm him in any way.
- Aesthetics . First of all, you need to coordinate the beauty of the shelf with the small inhabitant of the room. Perhaps he will like chipboard with a bright color coating, which an adult will find tasteless. And, perhaps, he wants to see cartoon animals or fish on the surface.
It is clear that a metal shelf is suitable only if it has rounded smooth lines, and glass, most likely, will not work at all, if you do not take expensive, reinforced.
In the loft style
Tip
Additional shelves should be placed around the TV in the nursery - the child will definitely find what to put on them. From a collection of designers to your favorite plush toys.
TVs perform different tasks in all rooms, so the requirements for shelves are slightly different:
- Kitchen. Here, the TV most often acts as a background, under which the cook is busy with food, only occasionally glancing at the screen.
In such conditions, the TV should be small, and the shelf should be such that it takes up as little usable space as possible. It would be ideal to make it angled, perhaps above eye level, so that something else can be placed under it. Special aesthetic delights are not needed.
In the interior of the kitchen
- Living room . Here, the TV often becomes the center of the interior - it stands on a shelf on the wall, there is a sofa in front of it. The whole family gathers here to watch an interesting show, guests who have come to watch a movie sit in front of it. Therefore, he himself should be large, and the shelf should be wide, thick, preferably on brackets. Here, aesthetic delights are welcome, especially if the style of the furnishings accepts them.
- Bedroom . TV is rarely installed here, because people rarely spend more time in the bedroom than they need to sleep directly. Therefore, if it is decided to put it all the same, there are no general tips.
The main thing is that he does not get out. - Child . A separate TV for a child so that he can watch cartoons should not be too expensive or heavy - during the game it can be dropped, hit with an elbow, shaken. An average TV on a low shelf is the best solution. Aesthetic delights - to the taste of the baby.
In the interior of a children's room
When the decision is made, it remains only to place the TV on the wall without violating the rules of operation.
lSafety
In order not to spoil your eyesight, you need to follow simple rules when placing the TV:
- Range . From a person sitting on a sofa (or lying in bed) to the TV, there should be at least two meters, otherwise the eyes will strain, which is harmful.
- Height . It is believed that the optimal height is at the eye level of a person who looks at the screen. Therefore, the easiest way to determine how to hang a TV is to sit on the sofa (or lie on the bed), close your eyes, and then open them while looking at the wall.
The point at which the eye stops is the place where the upper third of the screen should fall. Therefore, in the nursery, the TV should be hung low - it is harmful for the child to lift his head. - Shadow . The TV should not be placed in front of a window. During daylight hours, the screen will glare, the eyes will strain, and this is harmful. The only exception is if the window has very thick curtains that block almost all the light.
Non-standard solution for TV installation
The exception is the TV in the kitchen, which is not so much watched as listened to. But if your kitchen also acts as a living room, and you like to watch the news while eating, it’s better to put it downstairs, at eye level.
And in order not to say goodbye to expensive equipment too soon, the rules are different.
Do not hang the TV in the following places:
- Above heating appliances. This includes batteries, a real fireplace, a stove.
Heat has a bad effect on the inside of the TV, it can damage the shelf if it is not made of metal. - In small niches. Placing a TV in a niche is a good solution, but only if at least twenty centimeters remain from its edges to the edges of the niche on each side. Otherwise, ventilation will be disturbed, the heat generated by the TV itself will stagnate and negatively affect it.
- On weak walls. This is especially true of large plasma TVs that can weigh up to thirty kilograms - they can only be placed on a solid brick or concrete wall.
Otherwise, you can place the TV and the shelf under it according to your own taste - in the corner, in the center of the composition, in a large niche, in the end wall ...

115 wall and floor design photos
In any living space, there are various shelves for equipment and various accessories. It is desirable that such shelves are in the hall.
They look attractive, make it possible to decorate the room. In other rooms, shelves also find their use.
So the wall-mounted shelf is a unique cost-effective solution for holding all sorts of items, and the TV is no exception. Such a product is easy to create with your own hands. We will talk about this in more detail.

Varieties
Most often, such types of shelves are suitable for a TV, such as hinged, corner, with a bracket, and also wall-mounted. There are multi-tiered shelves, combined, with rear and side walls. These structures are fastened by means of brackets, hinged mounts.
The TV shelf fits into the interior of every living space. If you decide to create a design with your own hands, then study the nuances of this process and select the type of shelf.
Which type of shelf is best?
TV wall mount available in various sizes. It is important to focus on your wishes, as well as your financial situation.
When choosing, consider a number of factors:
- Construction type. Furniture for TV is different, but it is easy to build an option on a wall surface.
- Material. It is preferable to build a wooden shelf. It is a practical, eco-friendly, stylish material. If the wood interior has a solid wood TV shelf, as in the photo, then it will fit into the space as harmoniously as possible.
- Dimensions. Dimensions are important. Measure the dimensions, only then do the calculations.
- Location. Determine the location of the structure in advance. The most suitable areas are opposite the armchairs, as well as the sofa.
Once you have the details, start building the shelf.
Manual
First of all, it is important to prepare the right tools for making the shelf.
Having decided on the appearance of the future shelf, start creating a sketch.
Draw the outlines of the elements on the cardboard, then transfer the sketch to the previously prepared array. To simplify the goal in the process of cutting, fasten the clamps to help cut the contour. Apply varnish to the finished parts, then paint and leave to dry.
Let's talk about the steps to create a common wall application design. These are several steps:
- Identical sides prepared in advance should be fastened with corners.
- Make a mark on the wall surface, then drill the appropriate holes for the dowels.
- Next, the surface is fixed to the wall surface with corners or with brackets.
This is not difficult to do, for this reason they often choose exactly such designs for TV. For example, a corner-type shelf for a TV looks luxurious, but mounting it is more problematic.
For this purpose, holes should be made in the corners, then the constructed structure should be assembled, markings should be created on the wall surface.
After that, everything is fastened as securely as possible for further operation.
Where is it not recommended to place TV shelves?
There are areas of the living space where whether it's an Ikea shelf or a handmade surface should not be placed.
Above stove area. It is clear that it is undesirable to equip an expensive device over soot, since the attractiveness of the view will be lost quickly enough.
Place above the fireplace. It is not recommended to have equipment here due to the possibility of overheating, which can cause damage.
In small niches. Here the design will also deteriorate from overheating. If necessary, it is difficult to get a TV from this place.
An area where no air can penetrate. In such a case, the body part will be contaminated from dust, which will lead to early wear. It is worth choosing an area where there is air access.
As you can see, it is not such a problem to create a structure for installing a TV on your own.
Anyone who manages to work with an array can easily cope with this issue.
Considering every nuance, performing all the steps in sequence, you will build a magnificent and durable structure that complements the interior space.
Interior items made by hand are considered to some extent a detail of chic. The main thing is to responsibly approach the realization of ideas.
Frankly speaking, this is not a very suitable method to save money, because quite affordable models are sold in specialized stores. When building something on your own, you try and put your soul into the creation, so decide for yourself whether it is better to buy a shelf or make it.
