Stacey Denise Moore, M.D.

Choosing Art for Your Child’s Room is more than just finding a piece of decor to match a space. It’s about selecting something engaging and soothing that reflects your child’s character. The artwork should mirror their personality and bring happiness. Below are the top 5 tips to help you when choosing art for your child’s room.

Choose a Style

You can easily choose art for your child’s room once you have chosen a specific style. Consider what style will look best and how you will complete it. The style does not need to be strict but should fit your child’s personality.

Importantly, their choice needs to fit with the room theme and not divert attention from other furniture in the room. You may find a piece that breaks all these rules and still works in the room.

Understand Your Child’s Personality

Artwork and photography can affect your child’s personality and emotional well-being. It allows us to experience a wide range of emotions, including joy and sadness.

When choosing art for your child’s room, it’s important to consider how different art pieces can cause psychological changes that benefit your child. For example, blue is a calming color that reduces blood pressure and can help reduce anxiety. This color can influence a hyperactive or aggressive child to remain calm, making it a great choice for artwork in their room.

Keep It Simple

Look for simple pieces which are not overtly thematic and can grow with your child. Artwork can be moved with you and rehung in new spaces. Choosing simple pieces also helps to avoid overstimulating your child.

Involve Your Child

One of the most important aspects of choosing art for your child’s room is allowing your child to be part of the experience. While your child may be at an age where princesses and dinosaurs rule the day, you can guide them in selecting from several pieces and turn the process into a fun bonding experience.

Involving them improves their self-esteem and builds their decision-making skills. It also helps you to avoid choosing any art they might dislike.
