Children’s Artwork

Many of my clients face the dilema of what to do with their children’s beloved art work and mementos.  There is often a balancing act of displaying the artwork we love while maintaining the design look we aspire to.  I loved the idea pictured below that demonstrates making a poster of childrens artwork by shrinking down the projects and then printing in a poster format.  It is chic and family friendly.

 

I also like the approach shown below that was featured in Desire to Inspire.  This family created a gallery wall that mixed children’s art with professional art for an interesting and stylish look.

 

I have also tackled the artwork challenge by installing nicely framed, large expanses of cork board.  The cork provides the perfect backdrop for the constantly changing gallery.  Also, artwork matted and framed consistently makes a great art installation.  Give the artwork the importance it deserves with high quality framing and play around with mat size to create an interesting look.

How have you tackled the artwork challenge?
