Samsung Frame TV Digital Art Resources

After posting a tutorial last month about how to create a gallery wall around a Samsung Frame TV, I received several messages from you guys asking about the specific art I use on our TVs. So, today I’m back to share an updated list of my favorite digital art resources. The great news is that you can make use of these resources even if you don’t happen to have one of these artsy TVs. Many of the shops I link to below also have digital downloads available that work in standard size frames, and, of course, you can use the Frame TV downloads for printing purposes, too!

In other words, these art pieces aren’t just for TVs, although that was my main focus when compiling the list. I’ve displayed art from every one of the resources I’m about to talk about on our two Frame TVs, so you can invest with confidence knowing I’ve put them to the test (happily, most downloads only cost a few dollars, so they won’t break the bank, either!).

Samsung Frame TV Digital Art Resources

Samsung Frame TV Digital Art Resources:

1. 88 Prints: All of the photos you see in today’s blog post show our TVs displaying art from 88 Prints. I love that this Etsy seller offers curated bundles of artwork so you’re getting a good amount of bang for your buck. Pri, the shop owner, also has a free YouTube channel which you can use to display art on your regular TV! More info about that at the end of today’s post.

2. Laurie Anne Art: I’ve purchased Laurie Anne’s art in both formats—digital and physically printed—and am so in love with everything she does. Her soft, almost abstract painterly style really draws you in, and I love how her art looks on our Frame televisions. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

3. Hearts In Colors: Here’s another Etsy shop that’s chock full of great digital art for your collection. To see the Frame-specific downloads, click on the “Art for Frame TV” category on the lefthand side of the shop’s home page here. There are over 100 options to choose from!

4. Figure Form: I’ve been following fellow Virginia artist Shana Blakley for years ever since I came upon her work with Juniper Print Shop. When she started offering digital versions of her art for the Frame TV I jumped on it. You can see her work displayed on one of our own televisions at our old house here in her online shop.

5. Westlane Art: This one is more of a new-to-me discovery, but I’m a very happy customer so far. I purchased this bundle right after we moved because I was looking for more traditional artwork to suit the style of our new home, and the earthy floral patterns really spoke to me. I actually use the digital art from this collection as my computer desktop background, too, so that’s another cool way to repurpose these types of purchases beyond just your TV.

6. Almost Makes Perfect: I pretty much adore everything home-related that Molly Madfis puts out on her blog and Instagram, so when I found out she was selling Frame TV artwork, I hopped right on board. She’s only selling three pieces at the moment, but I really love the simple, mod feel of each one in the collection. I have this piece.

Before I close out today’s post, I wanted to tell you a little more about the 88 Prints YouTube channel. John and I have three TVs in our house, two of which are Samsung Frames and the other is just a regular TV we bought a year or two ago from Target. The reason we have two Frame TVs is because I hate the look of a black TV screen in a room, but there’s just no way around it with our regular television. Or so I thought!

When I came across 88 Prints thanks to another Instagramer I follow, I found out that she also has a YouTube channel where you can stream hours of gorgeous free art on a regular TV! Just hop to her channel, click on the bundle that looks like a good fit for your space, press play, and every time you walk into the room, you’ll see pretty art displayed on the screen instead of having to look at a blank black box. I use this all the time now, especially when I have guests over. Try it out if you have a regular TV in your home, and let me know in the comments which of the resources I linked to above is your favorite.

I just can’t get enough of reading right now! It has been such a nice change from all the television I had been watching over wintertime (blaming my seasonal depression for that one), and has helped me manage my anxiety, too. Every time I feel overwhelm or panic settle in, I just reach for a book and those feelings sort of disappear—or at least they settle into the background for a bit so I can have a small mental break.

Anyway, I think I may have this DIY styled reading nook to thank for my newly rekindled love for reading. I put this space together for an assignment from my editor at Better Homes and Gardens. Even though it was just hypothetical and not something I kept in our sunroom (in reality we use this corner as a secondary dining space) it was really fun to enjoy the setup for a week during video production. I thought I’d share a few details about the reading nook that worked really well in case you’d like to try something similar in your own home.

Styling A Cozy Reading Nook:

1. Obviously, a good reading chair is key. This $225-dollar option from the Better Homes and Gardens collection at Walmart was really easy to assemble, and is big. Like, really big. We can barely fit it through the doorways! The seat is a little on the firmer side, but still has some nice give to it so you can sink in with a good book, plush pillow, and your favorite soft blanket. The chair arms are especially nice (and important!) so you can lean against them while reading.

2. You know I love a traditional bookcase, but there’s something sort of fun about using a cube organizer for book storage. The cubbies are extra tall, which is nice for fitting larger sized books, and I like how the square recesses allow you to style books in lots of different ways. I even used one of the cubbies as a place to store a second throw pillow just in case I ended up needing it under my legs while lounging with the ottoman. It’s a very fun alternative to the everyday bookshelf, and can be used in lots of other ways if you decide to switch things up down the road.

3. I generally always have some sort of drink with me when I’m reading, whether it’s a mug of hot tea or a glass of wine, so a side table is a must for any reading nook I put together. This one has a marble top so I don’t have to worry about leaving behind condensation rings, and the lower shelf is nice for stowing away the book I’m currently reading any given day.

4. Finally, we can’t talk about a reading nook without addressing lighting! I like a combination of multiple light fixtures so that my book pages are really evenly lit. This floor lamp works well in the corner to provide an over-the-shoulder glow, and this table lamp is super sleek sitting on the side table as a lower light source. I especially love the touch activation on that table lamp! It’s now in our entryway and functions like a dream in that type of space, too.

Do you have a reading nook set up in your home? Like I said, this one pictured in today’s post was just hypothetical so I could create the video content for my editor. I already have a reading nook set up in my home office, so I didn’t need two, but it was still a little sad to take this happy little scene apart after my assignment was over! Please do comment below and let me know what you like to keep nearby in your own reading nook, and I’d also love to know what you’re reading right now so I can add it to my list.
