How to Display Kids’ Wall Art
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a mountain of your children’s drawings and paintings hidden away in a drawer somewhere. Displaying kids’ wall art is a great way to add personality to a home. Here are 5 easy ways of displaying them.
Use Hanging Frames
In our lounge, I’ve displayed a piece of artwork by each of my boys. These frames were from Dunelm but IKEA and Matalan also do them at really affordable prices. Use the same size frames and hang them in a row or create a gallery wall with different sized frames. It’s really easy to swap the pictures when you want a change.
2. Incorporate into a gallery wall
Create a gallery wall of prints or photos and add one of your child’s framed drawings. My eldest boy, Jack, drew the skull picture while he was at primary school. It goes really well with the rest of my prints above the sofa in our open-plan kitchen-diner. You can read more about the transformation of this room here.
3. Use string and pegs
Another one that looks great in a playroom or bedroom. I bought these wooden clipboards from Amazon and stuck them to the wall using 3M command strips. It’s really easy to swap pictures round when your little one fancies a change.
5. Create a stair gallery wall
Frame different sized pictures in IKEA Ribba frames and create a gallery wall on the stairs. Make sure the midpoint of the frames is the same height all the way down (you can use frogtape as a guide). If you want to avoid using screws or nails, hang with 3M command strips. Can you tell I’m a big fan of the 3M Command brand?!
So there you go - five quick and easy ways of hanging kids’ wall art in your home! Hope you’ve found it useful.
