Wall-mounting a TV in a kids room eliminates tip-over risk and keeps the screen out of reach — it's one of the most effective safety upgrades for any child's bedroom.
Who's this for: parents setting up a TV in a kids room who want to know the right height, which mount to use, and how to handle cables safely.
This guide covers height, TV size, cable safety, mount type, and when to call a pro.
In a living room, you want the TV at eye level while seated — about 42–48 inches from the floor. In a kids room, mount it higher — around 5 to 6 feet from the floor.
The goal is to keep the screen out of reach. Kids throw things, swing toys, and bump into walls. A higher mount keeps the screen safe from accidental damage.
Bonus: kids watching from bed look upward naturally. That's actually a comfortable viewing angle — they're not craning sideways at a low screen.
A kids room doesn't need anything bigger than a 43-inch TV. Most kids do fine with a 32-inch screen — and you can pick one up for around $70 to $100. Get a smart TV with built-in streaming so they can watch YouTube, and add a game console if they want.
Don't spend big here. Kids are rough on things, and there's a real chance the screen gets scratched or cracked eventually. A budget 32-inch TV mounted safely on the wall is the right move.
Kids grab things. If cables hang between the TV and the outlet, a child can pull on them — and that can damage the TV's ports or yank a cable out of the wall.
Every cable in a kids room needs to be covered. Two options:
Either way — no free-hanging cables in a kids room.
Use a fixed mount in a kids room. It holds the TV flat against the wall with no moving parts — nothing to grab, nothing to hang from, nothing to swing around.
Full-motion mounts have an arm that extends and swivels. In a kids room, that arm sits right at play height. Kids will treat it like a toy. A fixed mount is simpler, safer, and more stable.
Getting the height right, covering the cables properly, and anchoring the mount solidly into studs — that's where professional installation pays off. Especially in a kids room where safety matters more than aesthetics.

Yes. Mount it around 5 to 6 feet from the floor so it's out of reach. Kids throw things, swing toys, and bump into walls — a higher mount keeps the screen safe from accidental damage.
32 to 43 inches is plenty. You can get a solid 32-inch smart TV for $70 to $100. Save the big screen for the living room — kids don't need it, and they're more likely to damage it.
Absolutely. Kids will pull on hanging cables. Use a cable raceway to cover them, or run them through the wall for the cleanest look. No free-hanging cables in a kids room.
A fixed (flat) mount. It holds the TV flush against the wall with no moving parts. Full-motion mounts have arms that extend out — kids will grab them and swing on them. Keep it simple and flat.
No problem — we mount on all wall types. Concrete and brick require masonry anchors and a hammer drill, but the job is the same from your end. Just let us know your wall type when you book online and we'll come prepared.
