How To Make Your Frame TV Look Like Vintage Art

I’ve had my eye on the Samsung Frame TV for several years now, and it was the only TV that I even considered getting when we recently decided it was time to upgrade our TVs. As a designer, I love that the Frame TV takes what normally has a negative impact on a design, and turns it into a positive. We only have two TVs in the house, so we decided to upgrade both at once since (at the time) the TVs were a better price if you bought two or more. Once the TVs arrived, I immediately starting searching for artwork and frames to make them look like real vintage artwork. Samsung makes a few really nice frame options for the TVs, but they don’t make the TVs look super convincing as artwork, in my opinion. I was looking for something that had more of a vintage feel to it that flowed better with the rest of the art in our home.

I came across these great vintage style frames, and immediately ordered them in the Warm Silver and Antique Gold to try on the two TVs we purchased. They are a bit of an investment, but so were the TVs, and I didn’t want to cheapen the overall look with a frame that wasn’t good quality. After trying both of the frames out on our TVs I was in love! They are very well made and easy to assemble. They click together with a dowel and magnet system that takes about a minute to put together! After that you simply hang the frame from the brackets at the top of the TV, and snap it into place with the two bottom latches.

The side profile of the frame is finished really well, so it makes the Frame TV look like art from all angles! This is a 32” Deco TV Frame in the Warm Silver finish. The frame is very substantial at 3” thick!

If you aren’t sure what frame you want to go with, samples are available for less than $2 per sample! I will link them all below.

I like to search Etsy for super affordable digital download art prints. They’re typically only a few dollars, if that, and are quick and easy to upload to the TV from the Samsung Smart Things app. From there you can choose if you’d like a mat or border on the art. I chose to use no mat or border as I think it looks more like a vintage canvas art piece that way. I’m going to link a few of my favorite vintage art prints below!
