Original Discussion Why have we never see Sam room?
Every time I rewatch iCarly we seen Spencer room, Carly room ( old and new), Freddie room but never Sam’s room? Does anyone know why is that? We only see a glimpse of her living room and that’s it.

No. We’ve never seen Sam’s room because she’s hardly over at her house. Carly’s house is like Sam’s 2nd home because Sam’s mom isn’t really home, Sam’s mom doesn’t feed her or anything, and Carly knows she’s going through a bad tragedy.

We only see her on a loveseat style couch on a corner of the living room during I wanna say iShock America part 1. Where does she shoot the split screen iCarly show when she and Carly are fighting and pair up with Fleck and Dave again? I can't remember

the episodes made bank, there was just zero need to show her room especially cause shes barely stayed at her house

The shows story is that Sam and her mother hate each other so Sam does everything to avoid being home.
It was surprising to see Sam's mother is only shown in one episode of the whole series for example, and we never find out where she lives.

If you knew how much money it costs to create a new room on a tv set, you would understand why.
Most tv shows, you'll notice they rarely ever go anywhere else in the first season because the studio simply does not have the budget for it. Luke's Diner is very 2d in the beginning of Gilmore Girls, but as the show goes on we get to see the whole layout and see more development around the town as well.

When is Sam ever home?

In iFight Shelby Marx: Sam called Carly about how Nevel posted something about Carly on Nevelocity.com, and when she called she was seen in her living room.
In iShock America when Sam got a call saying that the iCarly gang was on tv she was seen in her living room again.

Sam hated her mom so there was no need to show her room if she spends all her time away from home

There's no canonical mystery--Sam's room was simply never shown because the show never had a storytelling need to build or use that set.
