Wall art is an effective way to give your kids' rooms a lift while helping to inspire them. On top of that, it acts as a fantastic finishing touch that allows each room to retain its individuality while unifying the whole home. 
It gives children a chance to express their personalities and understand that their rooms are something to be proud of and enjoy, rather than just functional spaces. 
However, for many parents, working out what to hang or stick on the walls can be something of a challenge. To help you through, we’ve compiled our top tips on how to choose from our selection of kids’ room wall art ideas.

Talk to your kids!

It might seem obvious but talking to your children about decorating their rooms is a fantastic way to make them feel involved. Asking them about their interests, ambitions, and personal tastes will help foster that grown-up feeling and give them a sense of possession over their rooms. For example, a youngster with an interest in astronomy would be sure to love the visual appeal of our stylish Phases of the Moon Chart, while a child who leans towards the beautiful world of nature might enjoy the soothing artwork on our Watercolour World Map Mural Decal. Those with artistic leanings can draw inspiration from the likes of our Brinley Colourful Abstract Tapestry.

Think beyond the ordinary

While we grown-ups tend to think of wall art as a painting or picture housed in a frame, children tend to think more tangentially. Instead of opting for the obvious, why not consider something more off (yet still "on"!) the wall?
From unicorns and zebras to deer and rabbits, our selection of paper mâché and wooden animal heads are colourful, calming, and inspiring. Whether your child's a dinosaur devotee, marvels at marine life, or leans towards the land, these are a superb way to spark their imagination and foster an interest in the world around them.

Take time to reflect

When it comes to wall art, most of us immediately think of pictures and decals. However, the humble mirror can help to bounce light around your child's room and look like a piece of art in itself. At Crate and Barrel, we stock children's mirrors created by established and up-and-coming designers to add a ray of light to any space. Forget the traditional round or circular mirrors; ours have been reinvented as fun accessories. Choose from cloud shapes, abstract pieces, stars, hearts, and even rainbows.

Consider the space

The size of your kid's room will have a bearing on everything you hang on the walls. To give the illusion of depth and airiness to smaller spaces, mirrors, garlands, and decals are the way to go. Larger rooms will benefit from bold pictures, three-dimensional art, and even wire-formed lettering. You can even find inspirational quotes to hang on the wall that will give your child a sense of who they are and what they can be.
While searching for kids’ room wall art ideas can seem daunting, involving your child in the process, considering the space, and cementing a theme for the whole house can be a terrific way to get your creative juices flowing.
