How to mount our tv in a weird position, with pics.

[sidekickdmr]

Hello

We recently moved into a new place and bought a new tv etc but the way the lounge is set out means the tv has to go in the corner.

However this corner is less than 90 degrees and is a bit akward.

que the crappy pics: (yes i know, its a coffee table and full of junk)





I would like it to look smart and am considering 2 options.

1. getting something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWIVEL-CANTILEVER-ARM-CORNER... and mounting the tv so it sits in the same position as it now just a bit higher


2. getting one of these http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S598504... and fitting it so it sits just off the wall like so:



any advise or better suggestions?

Well it's a brand new build apartment so the internal Walls are like paper, luckily the 2 Walls in this particular corner are better, the left one is an external wall and the right one is next-door so is thicker.

I have just called a carpenter and he is popping around this week to take a Look.

Here is how it turned out,

I got my dad down and he customised a bracket out of mdf,

I then popped to ikea and brought some LEDs and a tv cabinet and below is the result.



What do you think?
