Wanting to add some new art to your child’s room but don’t know where to start? Here are a few simple tips to help you find just what you’re looking for!

10 Tips for Choosing Kids Room Art

1. Think whimsical, but not childish

Avoid choosing art that is too “themey” or character based. It is likely that your child will outgrow these and be on to the next thing before you know it. This is a hard one because kids love characters – Stella loves Barbie and Hazel loves Curious George, but rather than put them on the walls, they each have a pair of sheets in their favorite character, which can be hidden under their pretty white quilts during the day. 😉

2. Reflect your child’s interests

Incorporate something your child loves in one of the pieces of art whether it is sports, bugs, reading, space, etc. This Be a Bookworm art was the perfect piece for my girls who love their weekly trip to the library. The extra personalization makes it super sweet!

3. Get your kids’ input

Make sure to ask them what things they would like on their walls, and share your ideas with them. Even at age 3 and 4 my girls have opinions about what they like in their room. I involved them in the process while carefully guiding them towards the pieces I liked most. 😉

4. Go bold with color

Kids’ rooms allow you to add color in ways you might be scared to in the rest of your home! A set of these Pop Art Flowers prints in Bubblegum and Orange Blast add the perfect dose of color on the walls and complement the bright colors in their rug.

5. Make it cohesive

I love an eclectic, curated look when it comes to art in a room, however I like to tie them all together through a similar color palette or matching frames. For the girls room, I created a cohesive collection by using the same white composite frames from Minted.

6. Add some inspiration

I love the idea of a incorporating a special saying or quote into a kids’  room. It can spark a conversation with them and have different meaning as they get older. This Do What You Love print was perfect because it is easy enough for Stella to read now, and a simple message that I hope she and Hazel take to heart as they grow!

7. Educate

Kids’ art offers a great opportunity for introducing them to new things – it could be a map of the United States, the alphabet, a picture of the solar system, you name it. You can find pieces for kids rooms that are both super stylish and educational.

8. Show off their names

What kid doesn’t like to see their name? Especially in a shared bedroom it is a nice way to help them carve out their own special spot. A piece of personalized art is a great addition to a kids’ room.

9.  Incorporate their masterpieces

I love incorporating my girls’ art throughout our home, but there is no better place to show it off than in their own room! For some ideas, check out this kids’ art gallery wall and hanging art display.

10. Make a grand entrance

Adding a sign to their bedroom door to state the room belongs to them makes it feel like a particularly special place in the house that they can call their own. Minted has a variety of gorgeous personalized door signs for only $16. If you feel like getting crafty you can make your own:
