I can’t wait for fall in Chicago because this season brings a sense of warmth, coziness, and the perfect excuse to refresh my living space. If you’re a proud owner of the Samsung Frame TV like me, you’re in for a treat! In this post, I’m going to guide you through the world of fall-inspired digital art for your Frame TV.
I’ll share a bit about what the Frame TV is, how to effortlessly download digital art onto it, explore various frames to enhance your artwork, and 22 of the most cozy, moody, digital downloads for the season.
Yes, I’ve got moody and spooky Halloween themes as well as festive and warm Thanksgiving scenes.
Let’s jump in!
What is a Frame TV?
Before we dive into the captivating world of autumn-inspired digital art, let’s introduce the star of the show – the Samsung Frame TV. This innovative piece of technology is not just a television; it’s a work of art in itself. When turned off, it seamlessly transforms into a stunning piece of framed digital artwork, blending harmoniously with your home décor.
The Frame TV is designed to merge technology and aesthetics effortlessly. Its customizable frames, art mode, and adaptive brightness ensure that your living space is not dominated by a black screen when the TV is not in use! Instead, it displays artwork that matches your interior design or the season, making it a versatile addition to any home.
I’m sure you’ve seen these in online home tours by now, and if you live in a small home, a Frame TV can make all the difference. For us, that means we can place a TV above our fireplace in our small living room and enjoy beautiful art when the TV is not on.
Why Invest in a Frame TV?
Now that we’ve explored how easy it is to adorn your Frame TV with autumn-inspired digital art let’s discuss why this is a smart choice for your seasonal décor updates.
1. Variety at Your Fingertips
Digital art offers an unparalleled variety of options. With just a few clicks, you can transform your living room to reflect the season’s charm. Whether you prefer vibrant fall foliage, cozy pumpkin spice themes, or abstract representations of autumn, the possibilities are endless.
Also, many digital downloads are produced by original and unique artists that sell their works through small shops. Instead of buying mass produced pieces at discount stores, you can purchase original art straight from the artist at a tiny fraction of the cost!

2. No Storage Hassles
When you invest in physical art pieces, you often need to consider storage for your seasonal décor changes. With digital art, there’s no need to worry about storing large canvases or prints. Your artwork is stored right on your Frame TV, ready to be displayed whenever you desire.
Not having to store seasonal artwork is a huge deal in a small home!
3. Budget-Friendly
Traditional art can be quite an investment, especially if you’re changing it up with every season. Digital art, on the other hand, offers a cost-effective alternative. You can enjoy high-quality, seasonal artwork without breaking the bank. In fact, all the pieces I link here in this post are super affordable. Most are around 2 bucks each!
4. Eco-Friendly Choice
Choosing digital art over printed pieces is an environmentally conscious decision. It reduces the demand for physical materials and the energy required for production and transportation, contributing to a greener planet.
How to Download Digital Art to Your Frame TV
- First, find a digital download you love and want to buy! I love Etsy for this.
- Using your smart phone, save the file in your Photos app. To do this, long-press the image and choose the “Save Image” option.
- Access your Photos app and create a new album titled “Frame TV.” Open your Photos app, tap the “Albums” icon at the bottom, tap the “+” icon at the upper left, and select the “New Album” option. Name this album “Frame TV.”
- Move your digital download file into your newly created “Frame TV” album. Open the “Frame TV” album, tap “Add” at the top right, choose the art file you want to add, and tap “Add” again. **If you can’t locate the art file in your Photos app, go to the Files app on your iPhone, find and select your art file, tap the “Share” icon at the bottom left, and select the “Save Image” option. This will save your art file to your Photos app.
- Launch your SmartThings app that allows your Frame TV and phone to communicate. If your Frame TV is not yet paired with the SmartThings app, you will need to do this first. Make sure your phone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that your phone’s Bluetooth is enabled.
- Select your Frame TV on the SmartThings app. If your Frame TV doesn’t appear in your “Favorites” tab, tap the “Devices” tab at the bottom of your screen to locate it.
- Pick “Art Mode”. If prompted to allow access to “Select Photos” or “Allow Access to All Photos,” you can select either option.
- Tap the “Albums” tab. At the top of the screen, tap the “Albums” tab.
- Choose your newly created “Frame TV” album.
- Select the art you want to share with your Samsung Frame TV and tap “Done.”
- In the new screen, select “Add Your Photos+.” If, for some reason, you do not see this screen or the app has closed, you can return to this screen by opening your SmartThings app and selecting your Samsung Frame TV > Art Mode > Add Your Photos+.
- Choose the art file/ digital download you want to display.
- Tap “Create Mat” at the bottom.
- Tap “Set on The Frame,” and your task is complete!
We LOVE our Frame TV, and changing up the art every season is fun, inexpensive, and easy.
