Attention renters: you can now mount your TV without damaging the wall

Thanks to a nifty new contraption from Ikea. - by Laura Barry

As a renter, you are massively restricted when it comes to personalising your living space. Very few landlords allow tenants to hang pictures or shelves on walls, or mount a television on the wall.

These things can be frustrating, as wall shelving and mounted technology are one of the greatest space-saving techniques in the homemaker’s toolkit – and we all know how small most rental properties are, and how common small homes are these days.

It seems Ikea has noticed the plight of small space-dwellers and renters everywhere, and developed a nifty little contraption that allows you to ‘mount’ your TV while providing extra storage in your entertainment unit.

The Uppleva bracket from Ikea costs just $79 and it can be attached to compatible Ikea entertainment units, such as Mostorp, Malsjo and Besta. It can hold TVs sized from 37-55 inches, and can be angled and adjusted for a customised viewing experience. It even has integrated cable management to keep your entertainment area looking sleek and clean.

It’s the perfect solution for renters who can’t mount their own TV on the wall, or for people living in a small space looking to free up some room on their entertainment unit and improve the viewing angle of your television.
