Art For Your Home: Kiddo Room Collection
What’s more fun than brainstorming a design refresh for your own bedroom? Brainstorming a design refresh for your kid’s room!
Since we moved into the Little Reesor House nearly two months ago, I’ve been slowly piecing together each room. Mabel’s room hasn’t really taken priority, as she is still sleeping in our room until we transfer her to her crib within the next couple of months. But as it does, time has been flying by and I wanted to make sure that we had her room organized and ready to go before that sad (but also glorious) day comes.
We finally purchased a crib, found her a dresser, organized her little closet, gave the walls a fresh coat of paint, and installed a monitor. But one of the most fun parts of any room – the artwork – left me feeling a little stumped. I had made her a lot of crafts while I was pregnant (nesting without a nest results in you finding other avenues to live out that instinct), but the walls felt vast and many of the items I had already collected were small. I wanted a focal piece or two to fill in some of the negative space.
I spent some time on Society6 browsing for the perfect set of art prints and in the process found that there were so many adorable options for kid rooms. There are so many cute nursery photos out there with baby animal prints on the walls, but that just wasn’t quite what I was looking for. I compiled the following list of adorable but slightly less conventional options in case you were in the same boat. My final two picks are not on this list, as they were pretty specific to the colour scheme of her room, but I would gladly hang any of these adorable options in any kid room. Check them out!

I also just wanted to share a tip when purchasing artwork for a kid’s room. I had a lot of space I wanted to fill, but felt that a gallery wall would look too cluttered in a space that already has a lot of little items all around. Instead, I opted for two large vertical prints that could fill a larger space. Now, larger art requires a larger budget, but on Society6, you can opt to purchase your artwork as a posterinstead of an art print. Posters cost significantly less because they are printed on a lower quality stock, however, this is perfect for a kid’s room because a) you can buy poster frames that are less expensive and have plastic instead of glass, therefore lighter and resistant to shattering if they get knocked; and b) you don’t feel as guilty changing the artwork sooner, which is inevitable as kid’s grow and their interests change so easily. It’s a great way to get a large statement art piece for a fraction of the cost (and worry) of a traditional art print.
I hope these artworks inspire you to find something perfect for your own kid’s rooms. Heck, even your own room (I won’t judge). If you’re interested in finding cool artwork for other rooms in your home, check out my Warm-Toned Art Collection post from a few months back.
