No kids room or baby's nursery is complete without pictures and artwork to decorate the walls. Modern furnishings, floor coverings and window treatments are of little consequence without attractive framed art, posters and prints arranged on the freshly painted walls. You may wonder why it is so important to make your home into an art gallery of sorts.

There is no right answer to that question except to say that when you surround yourself with art prints or paintings that inspire you or give you and the kids a laugh, your home begins to reflect your own unique personality and give your guests some idea of who you are as an individual. Your selection of wall art may even give you some insight into a part of yourself that you didn’t know existed until you were touched by a particular piece.
WINNIE THE POOH PICTURES Cute art prints of Pooh and friends hanging out in the 100 Acre Wood and Pooh will put the finishing touch on your Pooh theme walls. Whether you choose to hang a single huge framed poster or a group of small framed prints, you should explore your options in the various styles featuring our favorite bear. It would be a shame to miss out on this opportunity to enjoy this unique vintage art work for kids.
CUTE PICTURES This is not to say that all framed art prints should provoke a spiritual journey into our inner souls in order to be attractive or decorate the walls effectively where we live, laugh and love each other and our kids. Wall art for kids can be outrageously funny or light up the bedroom with color and designs.
BABY ANGELS PICTURES The right art prints can offer a sense of peace and serenity in a room. Many parents like to hang angel art in their baby’s nursery to remind them that their child is under the protection of an angel’s wings. Christian art prints of Jesus are another favorite for a newborn’s bedroom as well as the family dining room where we offer Him thanks for our daily bread.
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES Scenery, the night sky or a painting of a beautiful woman are all popular subjects for framed art work or prints for the living areas or bathrooms of a home, but beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder when it comes to art for your walls. One person’s fantasy may be another person’s nightmare. Plus, the colors contained in the piece have to work with the rest of the decorative accessories in the room. The exact same scenery can be photographed at different times of the day and only one may work with your décor.
FUNNY PICTURES Children love to laugh at animals like monkeys, cats and dogs so why not pick up some free, downloadable graphics and images online and frame them? Kids couldn’t care less if their wall art is a numbered print or a page torn from a coloring book so long as it is cute, colorful and funny!
Wall art for kids doesn’t have to be humorous, but when your children are young might be the best time to decorate their bedroom walls with colorful, inexpensive cartoons. What a cool resource for some free Disney art prints, a funny cat theme or a super hero bedroom. A gallery of vintage cartoon strips that you may have cut from the Sunday newspaper when you were a child may be right at home on your kid’s bedroom wall. Pick up some cheap, black document frames at the discount store and use acid free framing supplies to protect the old newspaper clippings. Place your arrangement in a spot on the bedroom wall where the sun won’t fade your collection!
FREE PICTURES If you don't want to lay out a bundle of money for expensive, collectible art prints, here are some tips for finding FREE or at the very least, CHEAP wall art that can be framed and used as part of your wall decorations.
An old decorating trick is to shop for vintage advertisements, magazine pages, antique publications or books to use them as inexpensive art in wall displays. For instance:
Flower seed advertisements would look lovely framed for a sun room or informal sitting room
Plates from a book filled with Audubon's water color bird drawings would look stunning in the den
Check the rubbish bin behind your local movie theater for one sheets (modern movie posters) for the latest Sci-fi or animated children's Disney movie for the collectible vintage movie poster of the future.
Old fashion photographs from movie magazines picturing Glamorous celebrities and movie stars of the past would be excellent near a lady's dressing table in the boudoir or on the wall of her powder room
Never damage an antique book or old magazine that was otherwise in good shape because a page could be framed and hung on the wall.
Pick up damaged books from garage sales (or the garbage can) that might have an old black and white etching or botanical water color that you might be able to salvage. Old textbooks are a wonderful place to find old photographs or elegant pen and ink drawings worthy of inclusion in a wall disply.
My goal is to inform you that even bad art is better than no art at all on your walls. So take a look through our gallery and find the best art work, posters and prints for your decorating project.
