While we’re all still trying to navigate smart TVs and wireless command centers, I’m always thankful we’re not stuck with the technology of the 1990s. Do you remember those days?
"Large" screen tube TVs that were as deep as they were wide; DVD players and VCRs stacked on each other; cables running everywhere and snaking up the wall; and five remotes within arm’s reach, one for each electronic device in your tech stack, plus a mystery remote you’re never really sure about, but are afraid to throw away.
Now, if your living room looks anything like mine, you have one TV, one sound bar, and two remotes. No electronic components and no extra devices. (Although I do have a stack of DVDs that glowers at me every time I open my closet door.)
If your living room is equal parts electronic chaos and Netflix command center, you’re not alone. So this fall, give yourself a Living Room Reset to give your family a soft place to land, and to make sure your space still features your personality. This year, the family-centered living room is the place where comfort and style can finally play on the same team, with art as the ultimate pinch hitter.
Do it as an early holiday gift to yourself, partly because you don’t need to wait until the end of the year to have a nice living room, and also because we didn’t want to wait until December to write this.
Start with what everyone loves as the weather gets colder: coziness. This year’s design fashions are rooms that are decked out in large, but simple sofas, easy-clean fabrics, and plush rugs that welcome everything from sticky snacks to napping grandparents.
Look for couches in rich browns, soft greens, or creamy neutrals — colors that look modern, but forgive a lot of snack-time mayhem.
And for that artistic touch, and to keep the decor from going bland, pop a large-scale abstract painting onto your Samsung Frame TV, like Mark Rothko’s "No. 10" (1950) with its glowing color fields that warm up everything in sight.
Mix in the nostalgia of a mid-century teak sideboard with a contemporary coffee table to keep your space from feeling stuck in one era. For a playful twist, cue up Jitti Jumniawai’s "Over The Moon" on the Samsung Art Store as a way to instantly add color and a conversation piece that both kids and adults can enjoy.
Families change, so why shouldn’t the furniture? Modular sectionals and storage ottomans let you rearrange for movie marathons with the whole family, or store board games that you’ll only pull out once a year and say, "You know, we haven’t played this in a while. We should play it again," before putting them back in the ottoman for one more year.
For following those changing moods, switch from Jitti’s "Over the Moon" to Jan Breughel the Elder’s "A Flemish Fair" (1600) or "A Family of Pugs" (1877) painted by Charles Burton Barber for Queen Victoria.
Plants are still a big element of 2025’s interior design sensibilities, whether it’s real plants, botanical prints, or even botanical illustrations on your Frame TV. They can calm even the rowdiest spaces and bring a sense of serenity. On weekends, swap in a serene nature painting on your Samsung Frame TV and wrap it in a Deco Frame to give your TV that museum-quality look.
Think Henri Rousseau’s "Luxembourg Gardens Monument to Chopin" (1909) or "The Repast of the Lion" (1907) or Alfred Sisley’s "A Forest Clearing" (1895). This is a great solution if you don’t have a green thumb or don’t feel like watering plants — let your TV do the botanical lifting for you.
You can divide up your house and your room with more than just walls. Create mental boundaries with rugs, light fixtures, and smart furniture placement (smart placement of furniture, that is, not Internet-enabled couches). Place a small area rug and an easy chair for a reading nook, or a conversation area with a couch and a couple chairs around a coffee table.
The nice thing about the Samsung Frame TV paired with a Deco TV Frame is that you don’t just have to center your living room around the TV; you can disguise it and make it look like part of the decor, which lets you create the gallery you’ve always wanted.
Incorporate your TV into the gallery wall. Surround your TV with your favorite art, family photos, and even your child’s latest masterpiece, and then turn your Samsung Frame TV into the centerpiece, displaying your favorite art and photos you’ve uploaded to the TV. (You can even do this with your children’s art, putting it on a rotation between masterpieces.)
The best living room doesn’t try to outdo a showroom or sanitize away the joy by making it "the TV room." It’s a space for piles of pillows, spontaneous dance parties, and long conversations into the night. It’s the room where art, laughter, cocktails, and the occasional goldfish cracker tumble together by design.
And your Frame TV can let you cue up a world-class Matisse, Van Gogh, Warhol, or the world’s most important doodle — the one from your own kid — to set the tone.
Your new reset starts at home, on your living room wall.
