Having children brings with it a lot of joy, but also a lot of work, and that\u2019s not even considering the immense challenge of raising them. Just to begin with there\u2019s preparing the house for their arrival and their childhood \u2013 and we all have treasured memories of our childhoods, especially our old rooms where we spent the first years of our lives. These memories often centre on specific design elements, even if we didn’t think of them as design elements at the time, and that means extra care has to be put into choosing the wall art decor you place in your child\u2019s room. Those art prints will stay with your kids well into adulthood, and might become treasured memories themselves.<\/p>\n

The key to decorating a child\u2019s room is to balance whimsy with beauty. It\u2019s easy to over-emphasise childhood innocence and turn a kid\u2019s room into a confection they will quickly outgrow, but it\u2019s just as easy to downplay creativity and imagination in favour of sophisticated wall art that\u2019s more about the parents than the children. The key is to combine classic sensibilities with modern photo printing.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Wall Art Decor: Classic Covers<\/h2>\n

One of the mainstays of childhood experienced even in today\u2019s digital world are classic children\u2019s books, both the modern and the traditional. Kids love to be read to, and to discover their own adventured between the covers of a good book, and the covers to classic children\u2019s titles like the Curious George<\/em> books or the Winnie the Pooh<\/em> books make for absolutely awesome art prints for a child\u2019s room.<\/p>\n

All it takes is matching a cover with the paint colours you’ve chosen, and then a quick hi-res scan or Internet search and you’ve got some age-appropriate, imagination-stimulating wall art decor that will stay with your child\u2019s imagination into their adult lives. Bonus: Have the actual books in the room as well, to encourage reading and intellectual stimulation.<\/p>\n

Go Big, Go Graphic<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the idea that wall art decor has to be smaller pieces hung in the traditional manner, but children are children and they don\u2019t yet know the rules. Those rules will come soon enough \u2013 why not encourage their imagination and freedom while you can?<\/p>\n

\"Wall<\/p>\n

Instead of hanging specific wall art in neat little rows, think big: Think whole wall. A dramatic mural with lots of colour and creative shapes and characters can inspire your children to dream and play for years, and can even be changed out every year or two to reflect their growing independence and creativity. Plus, you can add an aspect of interactivity with stick-on panels that can be moved about, transforming your child\u2019s room into one huge mental playground they will remember their whole lives.<\/p>\n

Decorating a children\u2019s room doesn’t follow the rules that other rooms have for things like wall art and furniture, so don\u2019t try to force them into that box. Instead, let your own inner child do the thinking and come up with bold, fun ideas that will result in a safe, fun space your children will treasure in their adulthood.
