How To's How To Display Kids' Art 01/23/2018 Share As a parent, one of the biggest dilemmas is what to do with your kid's artwork. To keep or not to keep? That is the question. But before you store or throw away that artwork, displaying your favorites is a great option to consider. Displaying kids' artwork into your home can be beautiful and fun. Read on for ideas on how to match, board, frame, hang, tape, book, blend, move and rotate that artwork in your home and celebrate your little artists. Enjoy! Match it Source: PoppyTalk Look for colors in artwork that compliment the color scheme of a room in your house. If your kitchen has pops of yellow in it, display art that has a pop of yellow in it. TIP: when kids are painting, only get out specific colors that will match their rooms. This is a win-win because the kids still get to paint and you will end up with beautiful artwork that will look great displayed on the walls.

We especially love big boards in the kitchen or kids' bedrooms because they are high traffic rooms for kids and when they see their artwork on display they feel inspired to creative more.

Pick your favorite (or favorites) and make them look important with a frame. Frames can be very inexpensive and what better way to let your child know that you think their artwork is special.

Even a simple $1 cable wire, screws, and clothespins display would be perfect for a kid's bedroom.

Decorative tape is everywhere now and available in so many different colors and patterns. We love that this method is temporary, so be creative with the tape. Don't be afraid if you think your kid's bedroom is going to look like a kindergarten classroom, because that is pretty much the idea with this method and kids love it.

These are great to display as coffee table books or for styling on a bookshelf. Not only is this method a modern approach to displaying artwork but it is a great keepsake for your kids in the future.

Switch out an existing piece of framed art and replace it your child's artwork. Blending artwork into existing gallery walls can make a space less informal, fun, and colorful.

Our first instinct is usually to display artwork in the kid's bedroom, but try moving artwork to other rooms in the house. Maybe the entryway, framed in the kitchen, home office or even the bathroom. You will be surprised how a simple piece of art can bring a unique and unexpected touch of fun to any room.

Kids are constantly creating new pieces so try displaying them in a way that is easy to change. Make this process fun and exciting and celebrate those little artists in your home!
