This beautiful Edina home features a classic white fireplace mantel that serves as the natural focal point of the living room. The homeowners wanted to add a 75-inch Samsung TV above the fireplace without overwhelming the traditional aesthetic—and the result speaks for itself.
We mounted this 75-inch Samsung TV onto drywall above the fireplace using a tilt bracket. Tilt brackets are an excellent choice for above-fireplace installations because they allow you to angle the screen downward, reducing glare and creating a more comfortable viewing angle when you're seated on the couch.
With a TV this size, proper mounting is critical. We located the wall studs behind the drywall and secured the bracket with heavy-duty lag bolts. For a 75-inch TV, you want that rock-solid connection to the framing—no exceptions.
The white mantel with its traditional column details and decorative fireplace screen creates a timeless look, and the TV complements rather than competes with the design. The gray walls provide a neutral backdrop that lets both the fireplace and the TV shine.
When mounting a TV above a fireplace, viewing angle matters. Without a tilt bracket, you'd be looking up at a flat screen, which can cause neck strain and create glare from overhead lighting. A tilt bracket lets us angle the TV downward 10-15 degrees, pointing the screen directly at your seating area for optimal viewing comfort.
