TV wall mounting heights when pairing with your floating unit

When it comes to wall-mounting your TV above a floating unit, precision is key to achieving a sleek and stylish setup. A well-placed TV not only enhances the room’s aesthetics but also ensures a comfortable viewing experience.

Mounting your TV too high or too low can disrupt the visual flow and make viewing uncomfortable.

To help you find the perfect height, we’ve broken it down into three popular options: low and cozy, medium and balanced, and high and airy. Each choice complements a floating unit differently, allowing you to customize your setup for your space and style.

Why Measure from the Floating Unit, Not the Floor?

Unlike freestanding units, floating cabinets vary even more dramatically in height, often ranging from 30 cm to 70 cm above the floor. Measuring from the unit ensures the TV and cabinet align harmoniously, creating a balanced, polished look. This approach prevents your TV from being mounted too high or feeling disconnected from the rest of your setup.

By anchoring measurements to the floating cabinet, you ensure the installation is tailored to your unique layout, enhancing both function and aesthetics.

Low & Cozy (Recommended)

This height creates an intimate, minimalist look perfect for modern spaces. The bottom edge of the TV is mounted closer to the floating unit, ensuring a seamless connection between the screen and the sleek lines of the cabinet.

Measurements & Tips

• TV Bottom to Cabinet Top: 15 cm

• Best For: Smaller rooms or designs focused on symmetry and simplicity.

• Benefits: Keeps the TV in a natural sightline, especially for seating arrangements at lower angles.

• Pro Tip: Pair with minimal décor on the floating unit to enhance the streamlined aesthetic.

Medium & Balanced

The medium height is the most versatile and popular option. It balances function and form, keeping the TV at eye level when seated while maintaining an open, spacious feel.

Measurements & Tips

• TV Bottom to Cabinet Top: 21 cm

• Best For: Standard-sized living rooms and family spaces with a modern design.

• Benefits: Ensures comfortable viewing without straining the neck or eyes.

• Pro Tip: Maintain even gaps between the floating unit, the TV, and any additional elements like soundbars for a cohesive look.

High & Airy

For rooms with high ceilings or open floor plans, this option creates a sophisticated, gallery-like feel. The TV is mounted higher above the floating unit, drawing attention upward.

Measurements & Tips

• TV Bottom to Cabinet Top: 30 cm

• Best For: Large rooms or spaces with multiple seating arrangements.

• Benefits: Allows more space for decorating the floating unit without cluttering the area.

• Pro Tip: Consider this option only if your primary seating is farther from the TV, as close, prolonged upward viewing can cause strain.

How to Decide?

Choosing the right TV height depends on the size of your room, the type of freestanding unit you have, and your personal preferences. Low heights offer a cozy, modern look, while medium heights provide balance and comfort. High mounts, on the other hand, exude style and sophistication but work best in larger spaces.

Still deciding? have a look at optimal TV sizes and viewing distances to match your height choice to your screen size.
