This Coconut Creek install put a 43-inch TV above a bedroom dresser — full in-wall cable concealment, nothing left hanging down to the outlet below.
Why a bedroom TV isn't mounted at living-room height
Most mounting-height guidance is built around a living room: a person seated upright on a couch, eyes roughly 42 inches off the floor, screen center landing close to that same line. A bedroom breaks that assumption. The TV here sits above a dresser and gets watched from the bed — lying back against pillows or sitting up against a headboard, both of which put the viewer's eyes noticeably lower and further back than a couch would. Mount a bedroom TV using living-room math and it ends up too high, forcing a neck angle that's fine for five minutes and uncomfortable for an hour. We set the height off the dresser and the bed's actual position in the room, not a generic eye-level number that assumes furniture it doesn't have.
Running power through the wall, not down to the outlet
A cord running from the TV down the wall to an outlet behind the dresser is the easy way to do this job — and the reason most DIY mounts still have a visible cable even when everything else looks clean. Standard household power isn't allowed to run loose inside a wall cavity as a flexible cord; it has to be in fixed conduit or cable rated for in-wall use. So getting a fully cord-free result means installing an in-wall power relocation kit: two low-profile outlets, one directly behind the TV and one at the original outlet location, connected through the wall cavity by cable built for that path. The TV plugs in right where it hangs. Nothing runs down to the dresser, and nothing about the finished wall gives away that a cord ever needed to get from point A to point B.
The result: a 43-inch TV set at the right height for a bed, not a couch, with a power path that's fully inside the wall instead of dressed up with a cord cover.
