Wall-Mounted TVs in Small Spaces: Design Tips from Lanarkshire’s Installation Experts

Struggling with space in your living room or bedroom? You’re not alone. Many homeowners across Lanarkshire, from flats in East Kilbride to compact semis in Motherwell, are trying to make the most of limited square footage, without compromising on comfort or style.

That’s where wall-mounted TVs come in.

Installing your TV on the wall can save valuable floor space, tidy up your setup, and create a sleek, modern focal point. At Redline Electronics, we’re specialists in secure, stylish wall mounts in Lanarkshire, helping you transform even the smallest of rooms with ease.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through practical tips for mounting your TV in tight areas, avoiding common mistakes, and enhancing your room with clever design ideas, all tailored to smaller spaces.

Why Wall Mounting is Ideal for Small Rooms

A small room doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice entertainment or aesthetics. In fact, wall-mounted TVs are one of the smartest space-saving upgrades you can make. Here’s why:

• Saves floor space: No bulky TV units or cabinets required. That extra space could be used for storage or kept open for a more breathable layout.
• Reduces cable clutter: No more trailing wires or clunky power strips behind the sofa. With the right installation, you get a clean, streamlined finish.
• Creates a minimalist aesthetic: Wall-mounted TVs help declutter the eye line, making rooms appear larger and more modern.
• Safer for families: Keep your electronics out of reach of curious little hands or playful pets – ideal for busy family homes across Hamilton and Blantyre.

Choosing the Right Wall for MountingWhen working with limited space, selecting the right wall to mount your TV on is crucial.

Brick vs. Stud Walls

Solid brick or concrete walls offer strong anchoring points for heavier TVs. But even if you have plasterboard or stud walls (common in new builds in places like Strathaven), our team at Redline Electronics uses specialist fixings to safely secure your screen.

Avoid Chimney Breasts & Sloped Ceilings

These features often restrict mounting height or cause viewing angle issues. If your space includes a chimney breast, consider recessing the TV into a custom TV feature wall.

Consider Corner Mounting

If wall space is tight, corner TV wall mounts can help maximise awkward layouts, freeing up other areas of the room for furniture or storage.

Cable Management in Tight Spaces

Tangled wires and cluttered connections can quickly undo all the visual benefits of a wall mount. For small rooms, tidy cabling is essential.

In-Wall vs Trunking

If your walls allow, in-wall cable routing creates a hidden, seamless look. Otherwise, slim trunking (matched to your wall colour) is a tidy alternative.

Think Ahead with Plug Placement

Ensure nearby sockets are accessible, or ask about discreet power relocation. Adding USB charging ports or HDMI passthrough panels behind the TV can also futureproof your setup.

Use Extension Sockets Smartly

Mount a slimline extension behind the TV to power multiple devices without visible clutter.

Small Room, Big Impact – Consider a Feature Wall

Smart Storage & Lighting

Incorporate floating shelves or built-in units to house consoles and speakers. Add LED strip lighting for ambient glow, perfect for cosy movie nights.

Functional Finishes

Choose from MDF panelling, acoustic boards, or slatted wood to suit your space and style. These materials don’t just look great, they absorb sound and conceal cabling beautifully.

Soundbar & Floating Shelves: Maximise Every Inch

Every centimetre counts in a small room, and the space below your TV can be just as useful.

Mount your soundbar directly under the screen for improved audio and cleaner lines.

• Add floating shelves to hold Sky boxes, consoles or Wi-Fi routers
• Hide AV devices in wall-mounted cabinets with discreet access hatches.
• These simple additions keep surfaces clear and make the room feel less crowded.
