I have The Frame TV, love it! Looks fantastic mounted on my wall. Genuinely looks like a piece of artwork hanging. Picture quality is great too. Highly recommend.
me too, I love it!!
Downside is to appreciate the art you have to have the tv switched on at all times. Waste of energy?
@@sashsash6679 It‘s on low power mode, like the Apple Watch and most phones nowadays, so almost no higher use of energy (compared to standby mode)
Thank you for this video! It always bothered me how most interior design photos show living rooms without a TV.
We bought some really cool fabric in Argentina and made curtains that slide closed over the TV. Closed, it just looks like a wall hanging and it’s a nice reminder of our trip.
This was the best video to date that I have watched on this subject.
Thank you for making a video on this. It irritates me when designers, especially ones ON TV, just completely ignore it.
Yes same 😅 TVs are a thing, we don't all live in magazines 🤣
A TV will never be eyesore to me. I love watching TV so I just can’t see it. I don’t want anything next to it as it’s a distraction when I am watching especially a ugly clutter gallery wall
We just got the frame tv to put over a fire place and LOVE 💕 it!
I just couldn't agree to getting a samsung frame because it looks nice when you're not watching it. For a tv, the primary focus should be, well, on the quality of the tv.
I took a 6 month break from TV. It's now month 147. Best decision I ever made. There's always TH-cam!
Especially TH-cam on a large TV.
Dear Ms. Posh, Brilliant. Well done. You really do put out the best product. I"m in planning stage for a new house. Your videos inevitably end up in my Decor Playlist. Thank you for your high quality work. You're a pleasure to watch. You are making things easier for me and my decorator. (Whoever she may be.)
Frame TV. Mind. Blown. 😍🤯🤯
I dont even have a TV, but great video. Those are a lot of tips I would never think of or even know existed if I didn't watch this
I love, love, love my frame TV!
Awesome tips! Thank you!
Got shut of our 75" TV it just over powered the room, reduced to 55" TV the room looks so much bigger.
I’m getting the Samsung frame tv with an ornate gold frame once we move to our new house, can’t wait!
Great video but now I'm really digging the frame tv.
My TV is hardly used anymore. My husband and I have tablets and use them instead. My husband has hearing issues and it is difficult to have the TV blasting. Life is so much more calm when the TV is not on.
Your seriously cool❣️ Thx u so much for sharing this
Love my Frame!!!

Excellent ideas❗️
All of my expensive Samsung kitchen appliances (fridge and above-oven microwave) have failed within a year of buying them brand new. It's not a brand I'd recommend.
wrestling with this now - maybe stream art/paintings thru the TV? Anyone have suggestions for this?
When did the human being decided a tv was an eyesore?
Ignore her. She's clueless.
Since they were invented
She's right. I have that soar eyes. Too bright and it helped
Um, when ppl started demanding 65 inch screens LoL
I hate the first impression it gives when you walk into to my home.. It looks like "Welp, here's our gynormous tv, as you can see this is the most important thing in our lives." This video was great
you are so good this
The best, cheaper and benefitial solution is eliminate Tv! We can live without tv to have more real live!
Lol or just leave it out..
I watch with subtitles on and dude, someone has seriously messed with the captions on this video!
That mirrored TV is thick asf.
😂
I’m going to get some sleep
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
New video pls
Woa, woa, woa, where's the source of the "actual stat" that 1,700,000 people have a tv in their home? Trust but verify :)

👍😍🌼🌼😘😘
TVs are so ugly. I don't even own one.
ok? good for you
My TV is in a cabinet because I refuse to pay homage to the TV god when it's not in use! It MUST disappear!
i love that solution! :)
I agree and I even painted a cabinet to blend with decor.
Then I got married and didn't have a big enough cabinet.
But I don't like a tool demanding so much visual attention. It needs to be subservient to me not the other way around. I also dislike the annoying buzzer on the microwave. Machines telling me what to do. Shut up!
My solution was getting a 43 inch television.
maybe keep the Tv turned on when guests are round. on a scenic screensaver or nice image. Dnt need a sub standard frame TV preteding to be Art. Get the best TV you can buy and just turn it on when people are round.
how is a black slab of glass ugly? its a neutral color, its shiny and attractive
Right.
Finally, someone trying to integrate the TV we all have, into the decor. Most professional decorators would completely ignore the fact that most of us have a large TV at home. And, honestly, above the fireplace is not the only place to put a TV. Thank you for this video.
I totally agree about the ubiquity of 'over the fireplace'. My main thumbs down to that spot is that *it's usually waayyyy too high for comfortable viewing.* Others have mentioned the overheating from the fireplace below, which will also be a factor sometimes. (Maybe not for those whose fireplace heat projects outwards, instead of up.)
On the other hand (hands?) I think it's often put there because there's *no other logical or easy place for a second focal point* in the room.
Presumably you'd want the sofa or main loveseat to face it for watching, but then anywhere other than beside the fireplace makes viewing a different direction, necessitating shoving furniture around each time you want to watch TV.
Also a no-go.
Therefore, a built in problem for, I'm guessing, about 90% of fireplace owners (my total %-age guess).
A painting above the fireplace would look far better, imo.
As an interior designer, I personally feel it is the greatest sin to ruin your fireplace by mounting a TV above it, so when the Samsung frame came out it changed the game. There’s also one way mirror TVs by fiam Italia that are stunning
i thought was like a standard, didnt knoe it could be an eye sore for some people
@@kapambwekapambwe4131 it isn’t an eyesore to most people and ultimately what matters most is my clients happiness so I keep my mouth shut, I couldn’t help myself here, I must’ve been fired up. However I do recommend hanging tvs at an ergonomic viewing height no matter what! You can get neck strain from placing a tv too high!
A top of the line tv, like Sony, should be showcased rather than hide. That is probably right up there with your expensive furniture.
Just remember, everything that's fashionable today will be outdated tomorrow.
Decorate to your style and preference. A lot of these ' must do and must have ' are up to you.
In certain locations, you can hide it with floor to ceiling curtains. This works especially well when the TV is on the same wall as windows or sliding doors which also utilize the curtains
I love that idea!
I liked one solution of doors that cover the tv - especially as the barn door look became popular - and with woodworking on my wall, it would blend. I haven’t done it yet ….
@@hlowrylong Yes! One could put one of those sliding barn door affairs on the TV wall (if it looks like it could fake it well enough) and then a gentle r-o-l-l-l-l and voila--TV!
And, not to put a damper on your good idea, but if / when those sliding doors go out of fashion, you might have to figure out a new version.
@@be5952 I’ve heard that the barn door is out as a trend … but I’ve been thinking of a folding-type door… almost like a closet door with hinges. As long as it blends with the woodworking, it would be sufficient, and my niche has a lot of depth, so the folding action could be hidden on the sides without trouble … just many thoughts!
I completely agree with her, the huge black rectangle will be the focal point of any room and will dominate it. My TV is off 99.9% of the time. I used almost all of her tricks. One trick she didn't mention, is to use a lightweight framed art a little bigger than the TV. I hot glued a random piece of molding to the back of the picture and that acts as a bracket to cover the TV, the molding is a "U" shaped plastic thing that runs the length of the top of the TV that clips over the top. So if I ever turn the TV on, I just put the artwork behind the console table to hide it. EASY
For those of you who watch TV *_so_* seldom, that sounds like a great idea. And my hat's off to you for actually 'living' your life in real time!

Oh wow, that's a brilliant idea!! Thank you so much, Rockshot!!!
"Everything is fine!"
As a renter without a wallmounted tv, the plants is my best solution. Thanks!
Rookie mistake.
NEVER mount your big TV on a fierplace. It's way too high and will ruin your neck.
Love the idea of keeping the console or wall surrounding the tv black so it blends in vs stands out! Both my consoles are white so rethinking that.
Suggestion: Could you do a video about Timeless/Classic style vs. trendy decor?
I could not stand this great black and ugly tv, so i put a piece of shiny fabric in the same colour as the wall about it. Not very professional, but helpfull to let it disappear😉
TV is a TV, it should be the way it is, no hiding, framing, etc, it seems crazy to me. If someone does not like it, then don't have one.
I don't 'decorate' my house or knick knack it..it's not a museum, it's to live in. I just want a space or two made to fit my TV. For me TV is not the focus. Now my husband? Different story, ugh! I have a very narrow and long living room. At one time it was fine for all one would have & it's uses. Nowadays the furniture and TV are gigantic making these original rooms inadequate, almost impossible! It is fustrating. Especially when I don't tolerate a TV in my face well.
I have a 55 inch tv on a console table between two bookcases. I created a bridge shelf over the tv and attached greenery garland that subtle drapes the sides of the television. It definitely softens the black hole.
yes it's amazing how plants can soften technology! your setup sounds great 👍🏽
I like the idea of turning idle tv into Art display. That’s why I created a channel so I can cast vintage arts on my tv. I really enjoy it so far.
I don't own a T.V.
I would've never thought plants off-set a TV that well! Mine's kind of stuck in a corner, so it's hard to find anything that works, but I'll have to try that. Thanks!
Love the idea and the suggestions. Last year I bought a 65" TV online without seeing it in person first. It is MASSIVE. I'm definitely on board with wall mount everything, but I might have to get a console unit more proportional in relation to this huge black square
My hidden tv is awesome! It’s 18th-century Colonial Williamsburg meets James Bond. A custom cabinet maker made it for me for $10,000.
Thank you for this video. I’ve just ordered an 85 inch 2022 frame as was thinking about the best way to integrate it as it is a big jump from the 49 2019 frame we have.
I have a rustic console with heavy black hardware, pictures around the TV, plants on either side, and a bookshelf next to the console. The whole system that I just described actually fits in a cutout area of the wall in our living room so it looks as if it's framed on 3 sides. So far, so good! 👍🏻
My solution was to create a u shape with two sofas and an oversized chair. These create a focal point on the fireplace. The big tv is on the wall behind the chair (there’s a walk space between them). When it’s just my husband and I we have a sofa each with good sight line to the tv (chair has low back) but when we have guests the seating layout creates a conversation pit. This worked with great effect when we had visitors for a week including kids recently and because the focus was off the tv it wasn’t until their last night did the kids ask to turn it on. We had great conversations, played heaps of board games and chess and the kids mostly went off to bed without dramas
If I had a tv I’d put it in an armoire so I could close it up when not in use. Even better I don’t have a tv. I get all the entertainment I want on my computer or iPad. You can live without the one eyed monster. That way I don’t have that ugly thing on the wall being the piece I have to decorate around.
I watched this clip ... only for the pleasure to see & hear you ... because I have laid off of TV ... for a few good months. And it feels soo good. 🥳
Another suggestion... if you have white walls invest in a good projector. Most these days have some portability and when off gives your room some negative space.
I was thinking of this idea too. If you have enough blank wall in the room that's at the right viewing angle, and it doesn't seem like that section needs any pictures on it, do a projector TV!
I choose to layer the gallery wall behind the tv. (See 3:59). It made my heart lighten up when I saw it! And since I'm starting over in a new place at age 65, your bideo has inspired direction! Many thanks! P.S. I think i can incorprate hygge design elements, also.
😩my living room is tiny and all these ideas she presented are for larger spaces
How do I fix the design problem in a small livingroom
The TV screen itself is a form of art and should not be hidden or ashamed of. It's not called smart TV for nothing.😉
I have a 55'' tv screen on a two level rotating black glossy table/bookshelf. TV is on the higher level. On the lower level I have placed a large black and white painting depicting a kissing young couple at the Gare de nord in Paris.
Two dark gray office boxes with lids and brown leather handles have been placed under the TV for storage.
The wall behind is carpeted with a warm gray wallpaper.
In the lower bookshelf I have room for some art books and a printer. On top I have placed a crystal vase with branches with leaves from the forest.
When I moved into my New house, last November. The Previous Owner Gave Me His Son’s TV ‘ it’s Mounted”.
I Love It!! It’s A Magnavox 32” Smart TV. It’s In My Bedroom’
I never realised how much of an eye sore it could be but yeah that makes a lot of sense now that I think about it
Thank you for the tips!!! :)
I have a 65" tv and plan to go 77" next time. it IS part of the decor
I have a smaller (32") screen in a mid-century modern living room. I built a mid-century-ish walnut-stained plywood console (with legs) to house it. Although the screen is always visible, turning it into a piece of walnut furniture that evokes the feeling of a modern-but-period TV created perfect harmony with the decor. And because modern TVs are so much thinner, the console is only 12" deep but has enough room for the cord. I'm not a carpenter and have only very basic tools, so I had Home Depot cut all the major pieces. Worked out well and the total cost was under $100. Something to think about for those who like some of the old-style rooms, have a small living room, and don't like even relatively small black rectangles.
I really like your idea. I miss the console TVs. They were actually pieces of furniture! You didn't have to crane your neck to watch it the way most people do nowadays. We have ours sitting on a low console, but I really like your idea. I may just run this idea by my husband. He's the carpenter! Thanks!
@@charliecat654 OMG, if your husband is a carpenter, it should be a breeze for him! By the way, I bought four angled wooden peg legs from Amazon, sanded them and stained them.
I made a few mistakes, though. I should have used thicker wood/plywood for the base. The TV isn't very heavy, but I think the base is sagging a little in middle. Also, some of my angles are not really quite 90 degrees. But I'm sure your husband would do a great job!
A lot of people who come into my living room look at the walls and ask, "Where is your TV." I say, "Right there!" and then point to the cosole, LOL. If your husband is handy, I bet he'd do a better job than I did, but mine ain't too bad!
I place a canvas over the tv when I am not watching it x
I use a projector! Great for renters and small spaces. And no need for a tv stand or console. The only caveat is that you either need to purchase a projector screen or have white walls and hang your art higher leaving a blank space.
When I upgraded from a 26-inch flatscreen monitor to a 43-inch plasma flatscreen, I had to also resolve TWO issues:
1. I rent, so wall mounting was not really an option.
2. I live in earthquake country (West Coast, specifically Seattle), so my expensive flatscreen needed to be secured; a stand was absolutely NOT good enough.
I researched and found a low TV console with an extendable mounting arm (flattened pole, actually), providing me with both screen stability/security AND an adjustable viewing height. And the 'arm' is set up to hide wiring as well: BONUS!
But WAIT ! There's MORE!
It's a dark wood tone console reminiscent of a low coffee table, but set on ironwork. It's heavy as hell so in an earthquake it's not going anywhere! Plus it has 3 linear drawers, under which is a shelf. So not only can I secure the TV and organize my media supplies in one spot, but it has that matching dark tone you recommended to minimize the starkness of a black tv panel.
I'm reporting this so others know to do the research when you have a unique problem; you never know what's out there until you look.
I had just this week started thinking I need to do something with the lack of decor and the intensity of my flatscreen backed by a buildergrade-beige wall. I was just considering making it a gallery wall and playing with layout options in my mind.
I live in a studio apartment. My futon bed/couch faces a 16ft-wide wall with a bookcase at the righthand corner, a dining area at the lefthand corner, and the TV console in between. I was thinking a gallery wall would help define the space. I considered aligning the bottom edge of different-sized framed art pieces running horizontally about 5-6 inches above the top edge of the flatscreen, maybe 2 more same-size frames (one on each side) to balance and fill the space (aligning the tops of the frames to the top of the flatscreen and aligning the outside edge of the bottom frames with the outside edge of the outside-placed upper row of art).
So I thank you for providing and affirming options!
Smh why hide that big screen.. Just allow it to run wallpapers.. Or just setup a projector. What's the purpose of this video again??
Exactly. People are really being anal about their TVs being present all of a sudden? Get over yourself or get rid of your TV. Smh
Having a big black TV is one thing I am always mindful of in my home. Ohh that Samsung TV is soo good. I've seen it before but you made me want to buy it even more 😍 Loved all of these tips!
People who just cannot stand a black rectangle in the living room can also explore Ultra Short Throw Projectors. They have become quite good nowadays.
or perhaps they can turn the tv on :)
Wow, what a great video, thank you.
Cabinets with doors used to be much more popular and easy to find. But when TVs became bigger and more rectangular, I guess 20 years ago, they didn't make cabinets to fit the rectangles. But I don't know why not - it was such a simple way to hide a TV. Instead they went for a console with an exposed TV.
Cabinets were a wonderful thing---and also for storage. That interior designers never thought to adapt them to the new TV technology is a huge oversight.
It's a perfect example of interior design ideas not always getting better, but just changing for the worse.
I have a 75" tv in a room that has windows on every wall, what are your suggestions for making it blend in when my tv has to sit in front of a window?
I. Have the same problem!
dnt attempt to blend it in. just turn it onto a screen saver or nice image when guests are round.
Just leave the TV on without volume!
or just buy a projector screen which is grey...
I've been eyeing a Samsung Frame for a while... it does look nice!
me too, been eyeing it for years!! 👀 i think i might finally pull the trigger this year though!!
@@PoshPennies Let's go!
I’m surprised you didn’t include projectors as an option. Samsung recently released a really good one (though very expensive) but there a huge range in prices and quality out there
Yeah I felt it was a bit off topic! I do love projectors although I've never owned one that's blown me away, I think I need to spend more 😅
Mine is hidden in a cabinet. Not too big of a screen but not that small. Love closing the doors AND the cords are out of view too. 📺
I've always been curious as to what this TV "shelving" unit is called at 7:09 ? Does anyone know what type of console this is, or what it's called? I've been dying to get one of these myself. Thanks!
@Posh Pennies Great content, as usual. Could you please make a video with tips on how to decorate a home office, particularly for someone working on a computer all day (software engineer), particularly with tips on how to look professional on video conferencing. Thanks!
I believe she did a video about how to decorate a home office a while back. Check it out
@@Christoff6025 I've seen that video. Interestingly, I can't seem to find it anymore on her site or YT channel. From what I remember, that video was more about tips on how to make a home office comfortable and relaxing, not so much about how to design for aesthetics, etc.
@@noli-timere-crede-tantum you know....you are right! I can't find it either. I wonder why
@@Christoff6025 I would not be surprised if it turns out that Vivien is the perfectionist type that takes videos down so she can redo them with improvements :) I can totally relate...
In Brazil this TV is 2,5x more expensive than a regular one. Regular 65” is R$3.700 and the frame one is R$ 8.197
Not with it 😞
you are such a great advisor with a funny personality!
How do I hang the tapestry to hide the TV?
Great! Thank you. I just bought a 55” tv and that big black thing is really an eye sore when not in use ( most of the time bec im not a tv lover, my hubby does but not always around due to his work) i love you tapestry thing ❤️
A few things to point out about buying a new TV. First, make sure you are buying the right size for the space. It is 100% possible to get a TV that is too big. Not only will it wreck the design of your room, it will actually be unpleasant to watch. There’s a reason people avoid the front rows of a movie theater, so why reproduce that miserable experience in your home?
Next, and this is one hill I’m willing to die on; do not, under any circumstances, mount your TV above a fireplace. Such a terrible decision, for many reasons. First, you are calling even more attention to the TV when it is not turned on; it will instantly be the focal point of the room. Also, even gas fireplaces put off heat, and heat is bad for electronics. But most importantly, the TV is too damn high off the ground, making for an awful viewing angle. Unless you plan on standing when watching TV, the middle of the TV should align to your eye level when sitting. TVs mounted over the fireplace are fugly and uncomfortable to watch. They fail for design and functionality. Just don’t.
My idea of decor! But the real problem is, that when we started to make these box apartments, we forgot how people really live. Instead of doing family dinners we tend to watch tv - a huge one from the sofa. When there are no walls around you, you have no place to watch the tv. I don't know if i should buy even bigger tv or just get rid of it, but i know myself, so i would just watch a small screen instead of big, and that wouldn't be the best decision to my eyes. The tv is a real problem; i have lived in many homes in last 15 years, but the tv is not fitting 😢
Cant afford the Samsung frame? Use google chrome lovely picture will slide over your wall. Use silver/chrome tape on the edges if black doesn’t match you interior.
Great vid! You must have covered every angle/option! I own a TV but it's not for watching... I'm not connected to receive a signal... I use it to watch DVD's! So it's fixed to a mobile stand tucked in the corner behind a large chair with a large piece of fabric thrown over it which is the same colour as the walls and curtains. You'd hardly know it was there!
Nice one. 📺 BUT HOW can Samsung STILL have a monopoly in this space. There’s a business waiting to re-imagined & shared.
Sadly, we will never get a tv that has anything other than a black screen. The screen color determines how deep the blacks are in the image. If the screen was blue, your blacks in the image would be seen as blue.
While the Samsung Frame TV is great in the Art Mode as a visual treat, it continues to use up electricity, to the tune of 50-100 watts, depending on screen size. So that 9 watt LED bulb you used to replace that 60w incandescent light bulb to save on your electricity bill.....
I say accept the TV, that's one main room in your home. If you really have good taste the TV will be insignificant by my interesting art, pieces picked up during travel, beautiful glass work or properly placed magazines etc. But if it's time for super bowl 🏈 you're prepared with the right TV, sound bar and a vintage turn table to class it up.
When I was growing up in the family home there were two things a 'proper' home did not have in the formal living room/s.
A telephone or a TV.
And it still isn't done!
If there was some kind of stereo it was well hidden in a secretary/bookcase/breakfront/linen press/armoire. Including the speakers. Why? Becsuse it isn't a part of a well decorated room!
Of course there's the Overkill Mode of tv concealment favored by woodworkers: hide it behind the paneling! My stepdad favors streamline modern fancy veneer work and he uses piano hinges for an invisible finish. My dad does more traditional painted paneling so he can hide just about anything 😂
I liked the tapestry idea 😅
Please tell me where you got that large black console. It's gorgeous!
New here...
Haha she's funny! Thank you for this FABULOUS video 😁🙏
