Well, it all comes down to the type of TV console you choose. To help you find the perfect console for your TV, we've provided a short guide below where you can find shopping tips and reviews on media console options at BlvdHome.

How to Find the Right TV Console Size

There are a series of steps you should take when shopping for a TV console for wall mounted TV. Before you begin, you must make sure that the size of your media console will fit perfectly on your wall and coincide with your TV. Below are easy steps for you to follow to ensure you get the right size console.

➥ Step 1: Measure, Measure, Measure

Start by checking the width of your TV, not just the screen size. Also, measure your wall space and console table size to ensure everything fits together properly. A good rule is to choose a TV console table that's at least 6 inches wider than your TV on each side. For example, a 55-inch TV usually pairs well with a console that’s 60 to 65 inches wide. If you're working with limited wall space, also consider how far the console will extend into the room.

➥ Step 2: Choose the Right Height

A proper viewing angle improves comfort. The center of your screen should sit at eye level when you're seated. Measure your sofa’s height and aim for a media console for wall mounted TV that aligns with that eye line. For most people, that means a console between 20 to 30 inches high.

➥ Step 3: Factor in Storage and Function

If you need space for gaming consoles, cable boxes, or decor, look for options with open shelving or closed cabinets. Adjustable shelves and cable cutouts are useful additions. A wall mounted TV console with drawers can sit below your TV to help hide clutter while maintaining a clean look.

Tips for Shopping for a TV Console for Wall Mounted TV

Before you go out shopping for your TV console for wall mounted TV units, there are certain aspects you need to consider first, such as style, color, and type. Take a look at these shopping tips so you can choose a TV console that fits your style.

✅ Match the Design to Your Room’s Layout

When shopping for a TV console for mounted TV, consider how its shape interacts with the space. Rectangular models suit most walls, while corner units make better use of tight layouts. A swivel stand can add flexibility if your seating area varies, and allows you to adjust the angle of the screen easily.

✅ Choose Colors That Complement

The color of your console should coordinate with the room's palette. Light finishes can make a space feel larger and more open, while darker tones add contrast and grounding. A console table for wall mounted TV in a neutral tone gives you versatility if you frequently change your décor.

✅ Think About Shelving and Storage

Open shelving creates a more airy look and provides quick access to devices. Closed cabinetry hides wires and clutter. If you want a minimalist setup, opt for a console table with discreet compartments. Adjustable shelves add even more flexibility. If you're pairing a TV console with fireplace openings, you may want open shelving to make it look like a mantel.

TV Console FAQ

To find the ideal height to mount a TV above a console, measure from the floor to the center of the TV screen. This center point should sit at about 42 inches for seated eye level in most living rooms. If your console is, for example, 30 inches tall and your TV is 24 inches high, you'd mount the TV so that roughly 12 inches of the screen sit above the console, placing the center of the screen at the correct eye level. Always account for viewing distance and angle. Tilting the mount slightly downward can improve comfort if the TV ends up slightly higher than eye level.

To decorate a media console, start by balancing visual weight across the surface. For example, use stacks of books or a low-profile sculpture on one side, and offset it with a plant or vase on the other to create symmetry without strict uniformity. Picture frames with black-and-white prints or minimalist artwork can anchor the look, especially when varied in size and layered slightly for depth. Keep space between objects and avoid overcrowding. You should leave some negative space to help the TV remain the focal point while allowing each decor item to stand out.

For a 65-inch TV, the ideal console should be at least 70 inches wide to provide a visually balanced look and ensure stability, with the screen centered and not hanging over the edges. This allows for roughly 2–3 inches of space on each side, which is important both for aesthetics and for safe support. Choosing a console wider than the TV also offers extra surface area for decorative items or speakers without crowding the screen.
