Lately I’ve been trying to make my apartment feel less “tech-heavy” and more comfortable visually. One thing that always bothered me was how TVs basically become giant black rectangles when they’re not being used.

Recently I started noticing more people using ambient visuals, artwork, or slow-moving scenes on their screens instead. Honestly, it changes the atmosphere of a room more than I expected.

Feels like TVs are slowly becoming part of interior design now rather than just entertainment devices, especially in smaller apartments where everything visible affects the space.

Curious if anyone here has tried this kind of setup at home. Does it actually improve the feel of a room long term or does the novelty wear off?

Lately I’ve been seeing more people use animated manga-style visuals as background displays on TVs and honestly it looks surprisingly good in a room setup.

Not talking about watching anime episodes more like slow animated scenes, looping city visuals, rain environments, or stylized artwork running quietly in the background.

It gives the space a completely different atmosphere compared to leaving a screen black or muted on a menu screen.

Feels like animated art is starting to become part of home aesthetics now, especially for gaming rooms, studios, and smaller apartments.

Anyone else into this kind of setup?

I recently found something called Liquid Canvas Cat Mode basically calming TV content designed for cats with birds, fish, butterflies, and nature scenes that match feline behavior and attention.

Curious if anyone here leaves this kind of stuff on for their indoor cats while away.
Do your cats actually enjoy it or ignore it after 5 minutes?
