things to consider when choosing wall art for your kid's room

Your child will always remember the room they grew up in. It’s their special place where they can grow, explore, and rest. It should be a nurturing space that also inspires them. Most importantly, it should be where they feel most at home. Wall art can transform a room, making it truly special. This is also a great way to introduce them to art. It could nurture a lifelong appreciation of art and well designed spaces. At Minted, we have so many choices for wall art for kid’s rooms in a variety of styles and mediums. Need some ideas to get you started? Don’t forget to explore our kid's art collections. We’re constantly refreshing the art we offer, so be sure to check out our new arrivals as well. Depending on how old your children are, they might have opinions about their room decor. You can look through wall art options together to find out what most excites them. Involving them in the process can be part of the fun!

COLOR

Color is so important to kids. But this doesn’t mean you have to paint your child’s room hot pink because they announced it’s their favorite color this month. We all know how quickly kids can change their minds. That’s why the best move is to keep their walls a traditional color, but add color accents around their room with wall art. This is a lot less work than repainting every time their style preferences change (and trust us, they’ll change a LOT over the years). At Minted, we have so much wall art with exciting, bold pops of color. Bright, cheery wall art can really transform a kid’s room into a happy place. Does your child prefer a more serene environment with subtler hughes? No problem, we have that too. Did you know that the color of the art you choose is in many ways more important than the subject matter in setting the tone for your child’s room? So explore lots of options and do what feels best!

One thing to keep in mind: The key to remember with color is that you’ll likely have a lot of elements going into your kid’s room in addition to your wall art. There’s bedding, furniture, rugs or carpeting and other decor. You want to make sure it’s a harmonious space by choosing wall art that compliments what you already have.

PERSONALIZATION

It’s incredibly important to kids that their room feels uniquely their own. They love seeing their names on things. This is why we’ve developed a line of art that can be personalized. There are so many tasteful and charming options that are sure to grow with them. Some feature their name more prominently, while others are subtler. Choose the one that looks right for your child’s space.

There are other ways to personalize wall art in your child’s room as well by making their room all about the things they care about. Include scenes and images that are important to your family. Do you spend a lot of time by the sea? Include a sea scene! Does your kid love mermaids? Choosing children’s art that features mermaids will show them that you pay attention and that their interests matter.

THEMES AND LOOKS

If your child’s room has a theme, you’ll want to incorporate wall art into the theme. After all, the wall art can help make the theme clearer! Here are a few ideas for themes. Also remember to check out our full theme-idea page to dig into these themes a little deeper and complete your look. These are limited edition art works that your kids will love. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Modern: This theme works nicely for the widest range of ages. The abstraction also gives the room a serene feel.
  • Wildest Dreams: This animal-focused theme is a blast for outdoorsy kids who love nature and adventure. Their imaginations will run wild!
  • Free Spirit: This is a really creative option that, like the modern theme, ages well. There’s a lot of emphasis on nature with this theme as well.
  • Color Their World: Color is such a big deal to kids. Find a palette that works best for them and color their room with it! The hughes in these art pieces are bright, bold, and happy.
  • Hello Sunshine: This beach theme will make their room feel like summer year-round.
  • Class Acts: This cheerful, learning-focused theme is so bright and celebratory. It sends the right message about learning: that it’s fun!

COORDINATING ART WITH THE REST OF THE ROOM

When choosing art prints for your kid’s room, you’ll want to consider what else is already in the room. If the rest of the room has a lot going on, you’ll want to choose simpler art that offers a calming accent. Perhaps you need your art to provide a pop of color to liven up the space? Or maybe you’re looking for art that compliments a theme you already have going. You’ll want to keep these items in mind when choosing kid’s wall art:

  • Furniture
  • Flooring, rugs, or carpet
  • Wall color
  • Other decor like lamps, toys, mobiles

Don’t have decor yet in your kid’s room? Keep in mind our other decor items that you may want to consider matching to your wall art:

  • Wall Murals: Wall murals are a bold and exciting way to decorate your child’s room. If you had a mural on one wall, wall art accents could go on the other walls.
  • Framed Photo Art/Collages: Photos of loved ones are such a meaningful addition to a child’s room. They’ve already made a lot of memories and will love being surrounded by them. You can choose your collage shape such as a heart, moon, or apple to showcase photos taken with classmates, neighbors, friends, teammates, or family members.
  • Custom pillows: These can tie a theme together. You can add your child’s name or a family photo to these pillows to make them all your own.
