How can I set up my TV without a wall?

Not everyone wants to hang their TV on the wall. In rented flats, drill holes are often undesirable, some people want to remain flexible or deliberately opt for a different room design. The good news: there are numerous ways to position your TV safely, elegantly and functionally without mounting it on the wall

1. Classic TV stands and TV furniture

The most uncomplicated solution is TV stands or TV furniture with an integrated bracket. They combine a stable stand with practical storage space for receivers, consoles and accessories. Ensure good cable management so that no visible cables disrupt the overall look

2. Free-standing TV brackets

Free-standing mounts usually consist of a solid base plate and a height-adjustable column to which the TV is attached. The advantage: maximum flexibility in positioning - without any drilling. Minimalist designs blend unobtrusively into living or working spaces

3. Mobile TV solutions on castors

Mobile TV stands make your TV mobile: from the living room to the bedroom or the home office - as required. This variant is ideal for anyone who wants to remain flexible or use the TV for presentations

4. Innovative TV lift systems

TV lift systems are an elegant premium solution for a particularly tidy ambience. The TV disappears invisibly into a piece of furniture (e.g. sideboard, bed footboard) and quietly slides out at the touch of a button. This preserves the aesthetics of the room - technology is only visible when it is really needed

Manufacturers such as Flatlift have been providing high-quality TV and projector lift systems for over 20 years and have been used in more than 25,000 projects worldwide. The systems are very quiet, durable and can be customised to suit your living situation

5. Design statement: TV as a room divider

The TV can also be positioned in the centre of the room with stable stand mounts - an exciting design element for lofts and open-plan layouts. This makes the TV a conscious part of the interior design without taking up walls

Tips for making the right choice

• Stability: Pay attention to the load-bearing capacity, stand and centre of gravity.
• Cable management: Hidden cable routing ensures a clean appearance.
• Ergonomics: The height and viewing angle should suit the sitting position and room.
• Compatibility: Check the VESA standard, screen diagonal and weight.
• Acoustics: Think about soundbar or speaker integration right from the start.

Conclusion

Placing a TV without wall mounting is now possible without any problems. From classic TV furniture to free-standing or mobile stands to high-end solutions such as TV lift systems , there is a suitable option for every need. Anyone who attaches particular importance to design, durability and comfort should consider modern lift systems - they combine technology and home aesthetics at the highest level
