How to frame children’s art with style

Love your child’s artwork but not sure what to do with it? Discover how custom framing from bold colours to sleek golds can turn their creations into lasting keepsakes you’ll be proud to display... for multiple reasons!

We've had the pleasure of framing so many professional and exquisite pieces, but nothing lights up a room (or a parent’s face!) quite like a child’s original artwork that has been beautifully framed.

When it comes to children’s art, deciding on the right frame design is extremely important. The moulding you choose can elevate even the simplest finger painting into a statement piece. And, who doesn't want that! Here are some of our favourite styles to consider.

Colourful frames

Sometimes, a frame should be just as playful as the art itself. Bright reds, sunny yellows, or soft pastels can echo the joy and energy of your child’s creation. These bold choices are perfect for playrooms or for anyone who wants to bring a little colour and cheer into their home.

Modern whites

A white frame is the go-to for a minimalist, modern feel. It lets the art take center stage while still feeling polished and intentional. Whether your child’s work is bold and colourful or soft and scribbly, white moulding gives it a crisp, gallery-worthy finish.

Sleek blacks

Black frames offer a sleek, contemporary look that works beautifully with vivid art. They add a sense of structure and contrast, especially when paired with a wide white mat. This is a favourite choice for clients who want their child’s work to fit into more refined or neutral spaces, like a home office or hallway.

Elevated golds

Gold might not be the first thing you think of for children’s art, but don’t overlook it! Soft, brushed gold or antique-style moulding adds unexpected charm and elevates the piece . It’s a perfect way to celebrate those extra-special creations that deserve a little spotlight, making it the perfect choice for a dining area or even the living room.

Bonus tip

Want to go a step further? Include a small photo of your child creating the artwork or even a handwritten note with their age and title of the piece and incorporate it within the frame design. It adds context, heart, and a personal touch you’ll treasure for years.
