Every parent knows the joy of seeing their child’s creativity come to life, whether it’s a finger-painted masterpiece or a carefully drawn landscape. Children’s artwork is more than just paper with colors—it's a snapshot of their imagination and growth. Finding creative ways to display their artwork in your home can be a great way to celebrate these moments while adding a personal touch to your décor.
Framing their artwork is an ideal solution to showcase their talent while preserving these memories for years to come. Here are some ways to seamlessly incorporate your child’s artwork into your home using Frametolia's tabletop and wall frames, designed to complement various décor styles.
1. Create a Rotating Art Gallery in the Hallway
Turn your hallway into a mini gallery where your child’s artwork can be rotated regularly. This creates a dynamic and ever-evolving display that feels fresh every time you pass by.
For a modern, minimalist home, opt for black or white frames with clean lines, such as our Slim Matte Black or Bright White wooden frames. These frames allow the artwork to take center stage without overwhelming the space. Place them symmetrically for a sleek, gallery-style look, or go for a more playful arrangement by varying the heights and sizes of the frames.
In homes with traditional or rustic décor, try our Distressed Wood frames in neutral tones like driftwood gray or weathered oak. These frames add texture and warmth, blending perfectly with natural materials often found in rustic interiors.
Tip: Use frames with removable backs for easy switching of artwork. This encourages your child to continuously contribute new pieces, keeping the space fresh and engaging.
2. Incorporate Art into a Family Photo Wall
If you already have a gallery wall of family photos, why not incorporate your child’s artwork alongside it? This approach is great for blending the whimsical charm of kids' art with personal family moments.
For eclectic or bohemian-style homes, mix and match vintage-inspired frames in various finishes like antique gold, bronze, or even pastel colors. Our Antique Gold Wood Frame paired with the softer tones of kids' drawings adds an artistic flair that complements a more collected look.
In Scandinavian-inspired homes, use light wood frames in shades like natural oak or birch, which can highlight the simple, bright nature of both your décor and your child’s art. The clean lines of these frames will match the understated elegance of Nordic interiors.
Tip: Frame several smaller pieces in uniform frames for a cohesive look. This works especially well if the artwork includes a consistent theme or color palette.
3. Highlight Art in the Living Room with Tabletop Frames
Tabletop frames are a fantastic option for showcasing smaller works of art, whether it’s your child’s latest doodle or their first handprint. Display these frames on side tables, shelves, or even mantels for a subtle yet personal touch.
For a contemporary or industrial-style living room, matte metal frames in black or gunmetal add a sleek, sophisticated touch while letting the vibrant colors of your child’s art pop. Our Modern Black Metal Frame is perfect for this look, creating a sharp contrast against the vibrant creativity of your child’s drawings.
In more classic or traditional settings, choose deep mahogany or walnut wood frames. Our Rich Walnut Frame adds an elegant, timeless quality, elevating the importance of your child’s artwork and making it feel like an integral part of your décor.
Tip: Pair tabletop frames with other decorative objects such as books or plants for a layered, curated look.
4. Create a Dedicated Art Wall in Their Room or Play Area
Let your child take pride in their own space by dedicating an entire wall to their artwork in their bedroom or play area. Choose a collection of frames in various sizes, so they can display a mix of drawings, paintings, and even 3D artwork like collages or small sculptures.
For bright, colorful kids’ rooms, our Bold Color Frames—available in all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, perfect to enhance the playful vibe while adding structure to their displays. A mix of bold-colored and neutral frames can help prevent the wall from feeling too busy.
In a gender-neutral or Montessori-inspired room, you can use natural wood frames in light tones like pine or ash, which blend with the soft, muted colors often seen in these spaces. Our Natural Wood Frames are ideal for adding a subtle frame while allowing the artwork to shine.
Tip: Install low-hanging frames so your child can easily swap out the artwork themselves, fostering their sense of ownership and creativity.
5. Create a Seasonal Display with Tabletop Frames
Celebrate the changing seasons with a rotating art display in your entryway or kitchen. Use tabletop frames to showcase artwork that reflects the season—whether it's winter snowflakes, autumn leaves, or springtime flowers.
Choose frames with a seasonal twist to complement the artwork. For example, our Distressed White Wood Frame pairs well with winter-themed art, while the Golden Oak Wood Frame can be perfect for fall. The frames add a cozy, seasonal touch that fits seamlessly into your holiday décor.
Tip: To keep the display fresh, change the artwork every few months. This allows you to highlight new themes, and keeps the décor aligned with the time of year.
