Frankly, I didn’t want a TV. But I’m not the only one who lives in my house—I have a partner and three kids—and I originally thought we could all have our own iPads to watch our shows. We also live in a city apartment where there isn’t a ton of wall space, and I never wanted a television to be the sole focus of a room, especially in a multipurpose area we use for entertaining, putting on records, and playing games. But the pandemic hit, and I was outvoted.
As it turns out, having a TV in our living room ended up being a good thing as we watched our way through the AFI 100 Years…100 Movies during those dark months of 2020. Still, when we purchased our screen, I thought: How do I not make it the focus of the room?
The Samsung Frame, with its sleek outline and slim shape, seemed like the obvious choice for something that would blend in and look good with other things going on around it. Having our shelves, art, record player, and plants nearby immediately helped the space feel like it wasn’t just a shrine to the TV—which, by the way, isn’t a bad thing if you have a home theater or if watching movies is the only thing you actually do in that room. But we use ours for lots of things, and I wanted to honor all those other ways we use it, too.
