Hey there! If you’re anything like me, you’re probably swimming in a sea of your kid’s colorful and imaginative artwork. Let’s explore some fun and creative ways to proudly showcase those masterpieces!
Pegboard Display
A pegboard with hooks and clips offers a flexible way to display art. I once turned an entire wall into a pegboard gallery, and it was a hit with the little artists! It’s also a great spot to hang up your favorite scrap wood wall art.
Clipboard Wall
Clipboards are such a handy tool for showcasing art that changes often. They’re perfect for those spontaneous watercolor sessions my niece loves, or for hanging up pages filled with new art journal ideas!
Pants Hangers
Who would have thought pants hangers could be so versatile? Just clip the art and hang—it’s a quirky and fun way to showcase creativity. This is a perfect method for displaying your favorite juice box art projects.
Magnetic Boards
A magnetic board makes rearranging art a snap. I have one in my hallway, and it’s always fun to see the new layouts my kiddos come up with.
Fabric-Lined Pinboard
Covering a pinboard with fabric adds a tidy backdrop for art. I’ve picked fabrics that match themes or favorite colors for a personal touch. You can also add a similar vibe to school spaces with custom locker tags.
Floating Shelves
Floating shelves can hold both framed and 3D artworks easily. I rotate my display regularly to keep the kids excited about their art. They also work perfectly as floating shelves above a bed to showcase bedtime stories or small toys.
Washi Tape Wonder
Why not use colorful washi tape to stick up those masterpieces? It’s a non-permanent way to add art wherever you like, without damaging walls. If your tape and marker collection is growing, check out these clever ways to organize kids’ art supplies.
Digital Displays
Digitizing art and displaying it on a digital frame keeps the gallery fresh. I’ve started this at home, and it’s a great way to enjoy a rotating gallery. It’s just one of many creative photo art ideas you can incorporate into your space.
Art Rails
Installing rails with clips offers a sleek way to keep the art organized. I used this system in a friend’s playroom, and it transformed the space!
Cork Board Corner
Cork boards are a classic for a reason—easy to pin art up and switch it out. I covered one in my living room with fabric to match my decor. It’s a simple DIY living room decor project that makes a big impact.
Gallery Wall Magic
Create a gallery wall by clustering multiple artworks together. I love how this adds a big splash of personality to any room. In fact, it is one of the most versatile wall designs for a living room.
Frame It Up
Framing your kid’s art can give it a polished look that’s ready for any gallery wall. In my studio, I love mixing different frame styles for a quirky, eclectic vibe.
Chalkboard Labels
Adding chalkboard labels to art displays lets you personalize each piece. I use them to jot down the art’s title or artist name—so cute!
Peel and Stick Frames
For a fuss-free option, try peel and stick frames. They’re easy to reposition and perfect for ever-changing displays. This same adhesive convenience makes a black peel and stick backsplash a great choice for quick kitchen updates.
Art Display Bar
A repurposed curtain rod can serve as an art display bar. I love this for its gallery-like feel, perfect for a hallway or family room. It’s a fantastic way to hang up your latest bead art creations.
