A corner TV mount is a full-motion arm that lets you hang a TV across the corner of a room, with the arm fixed to studs on one or both walls. Choose one that is rated for your TV’s weight and VESA pattern, has enough arm reach to swing the screen out of the corner, and can be anchored into wall studs. Always check the swing space before you drill: the TV must pull out far enough to face the room.

What is a corner TV mount?
A corner TV mount is an articulating arm that bolts to the wall at or near a corner and swings the TV out so it faces the room. It is a full-motion type: the arm extends, swivels and tilts. A TV on a flat mount cannot sit in a corner because the walls block it.
How is a corner mount different from a standard mount?
| Type | Movement | Works in a corner? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | None | No | A TV on a flat wall at eye level |
| Tilt | Up and down | No | A TV mounted a little high |
| Full-motion / corner | Extends, swivels, tilts | Yes, with enough arm reach | Corners, open rooms, watching from several seats |
See fixed vs full-motion TV mounts for the wider comparison.
What should you check before buying a corner TV mount?
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| TV weight | The mount’s rated capacity must be above your TV’s weight. Leave a margin. |
| VESA pattern | The mount must fit your TV’s hole pattern. See our VESA chart. |
| Arm reach and swing | The arm must extend far enough to pull the TV out of the corner and face the room, with space to swing. |
| Wall studs | You need solid framing at the mounting point. Use a stud finder on both walls. |
If your corner is an outside corner (it sticks out into the room), the geometry is different from an inside corner. Check the mount’s instructions for which it supports.
How do you install a corner TV mount?
- Pick the spot. Sit where you watch, mark the screen centre at about seated eye level and test the angle.
- Find the studs in the wall the plate will fasten to and mark them.
- Check clearance. The TV should clear the corner when the arm is folded and swing without hitting a wall.
- Drill pilot holes and fasten the wall plate into the studs with the supplied lag bolts.
- Attach the brackets to the TV on the ground.
- Hang the TV with a helper, lock every fastener and test the full range of movement.
- Set the cables. Leave slack for the arm to move. See how to hide TV wires.
Height still matters. Read how high to mount a TV and the general steps in how to mount a TV on the wall.
