Decorating with children's art: A personal and unique touch
Decorating with your children's artwork can give your home a personal and unique style. Instead of hiding their artistic expressions in boxes, why not showcase them in a creative way? By including children's art in your interior design, you not only create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, but you also give children's creativity a sense of value. At Artiley, we know that art has the ability to touch and inspire, and this also applies to the creations of the youngest.
Choose the right artwork to highlight
Every child has a favorite piece of art they are especially proud of. Start by selecting these pieces, then choose a diverse collection of their artwork to achieve balance in your home. It can be anything from drawings on paper to clay sculptures. These pieces can be framed or displayed in their original form, depending on what suits your home best.
Give the artwork a place of honor
To truly incorporate your children’s art into your home decor, give their artwork a place of honor in your home. A great idea is to create a picture wall in your living room, where you can also mix their art with other art from your collection. For example, you can incorporate The Defiant Dame into your display for a bold and stylish contrast. A balanced mix of professional and childish art creates a dynamic explosion of creativity.
Colors that create harmony
Choosing a color palette that harmonizes with your children’s art is key to making it blend naturally into your home.

Creative ways to frame art
Another aspect to consider is how you frame your art. The variety of frames can affect how the artwork is perceived. Experiment with different frame sizes and materials to create a living art wall. It can also be beautiful to use simple magnetic hangers, which make it easy to replace the art as new masterpieces are created.
Use art as a time capsule
Children's artwork captures a snapshot of their creativity in childhood. By including their art in your home, you create a living time capsule. As they grow up, these works will be a precious memory of their childhood and development, bringing both nostalgia and pride to the whole family.
