DIY Frame TV
How to make your own Frame TV for a fraction of the price!
Because I didn’t want to spend $2,000 on a new TV when the one we have works just fine
Our family room is perfectly set up to have our TV mounted above our fireplace. It’s the focal point of the room and it can be seen from the dining room, kitchen, etc. But I think our fireplace is so pretty and TV’s just are not, so I’ve always been hesitant to mount it above our mantel. Here’s a pic of our previous set up when our TV was on a different wall.
I loved the way it looked but I still really wanted the TV mounted there without it being such an eye sore. In comes the Samsung “frame TV” which seemed like the perfect solution to my problem, except for the size we have it’s about $1500, if not more! I couldn’t justify spending that on a new TV when ours worked just fine so I decided to figure out a DIY! I’ll list all the materials needed at the end.
Once we had the TV hung with the new low profile mount, the rest was easy peasy!
I like that I can change the picture whenever I want for different seasons, or holidays. For Christmas we did this snowy scene and for New Years we had some fireworks- see our New Year’s Eve blog post here!
Once the holidays were over I switched it to this boat painting. I’ve also used sunsets, historical pictures, etc. You can change it to match your decor any time!
I added decor around it, just like I would with a normal peice of art. It definitely helps to make it look more like a picture than a TV with some styled items around it. Thrse are some candle sticks, vases and a plant we had already.
