Baby and Children's Artful Room Ideas

A lot of times when you're thinking of art, you may think the living room, the den, perhaps the kitchen for a cool piece featuring wine and fruit or maybe something funky like a french cafe scene. There's bedrooms and specifically rooms for babies and young children. You can help your kiddos develop an appreciation for art from an early age simply be exposing them to it and talking about various artworks with your kids. 

"Inner Child Pk/2"
Paragon has designed a really great piece for your little princesses' room. 
This Weigel Canvas Transfer: "Inner Child Pk/2" is a great set. This print is done on canvas and has hand embellished accents making it a truly one of a kind piece. The fun thing is showing art to your little ones and pointing out the girls are standing in flowers, asking your child to imagine what they are doing and what they are saying. Talking about colors in the piece. Do they see circles, squares, patterns in these artworks? 
All of those things not only teach your child to think creatively, but also to simply appreciate art.

"Peek-a-Boo"
Another of Paragon's star designers, Malanta Knowles has created this 6-panel super fun piece titled "Peek-a-Boo". This will delight any little one and it's got a gorgeous color scheme that will meld seamlessly into room decor. 
This is another great piece that will not only activate your little one's eyes with its use of color, it can also be used as a learning tool. Talk about the animals, know any crazy facts or stories about monkeys or zebras? Tell you child, they will always remember that you were the one that told them no two zebras have stripes exactly alike. Animals with party hats, top hats and hearts, this is a great piece for a child's room.

When you're getting art for a baby or child's room, consider more than just a color or a theme, you can get pieces that can create learning moments and lasting memories.

So Much Good Designer Framed Art, It's Hard to Choose!

Joey Duncan " Venetian"
Guess what happens when you combine world-renowned designers like Candace Olsen or Joey Duncan with classic artworks? You get the unique designs carried in the Paragon Picture Gallery.
One of the best things about Paragon pieces is that they are put together by professional designers who not only consider the artwork but also the decor the piece will be used in.
A great example is Joey Duncan's Venetian which is actually 3 framed pieces you have a lot of display choices with. Use them together to form a 9 panel design (as shown) or you can split them up and let them compliment each other on adjoining wall spaces.
Check out how numerous tints and shades coordinate and compliment each other in this piece and it could meld seamlessly into a light or darkly themed decor.


Malanta Knowles "Couture Coffee"
Another really great pairing to think about, especially if you found this page looking for a great gift for someone who loves to cook, but already has every cooking and kitchen  gadget known to man, consider the gift of art for the kitchen and there are numerous choices in the Paragon collection.

Malanta Knowlehas been seriously hard at work designing some dining themed pieces that just pop. This piece is called "Coffee Couture" and like a lot of Paragon items, the artworks come in a set and can be used together to form a square or 2 on 2 to form rectangles around a larger artwork  or even by themselves to compliment around a room. The display options are definitely not limiting.

This is just
one of numerous pieces available and there are also some excellent wine, food, and fruit themed pieces that come in a full range of subjects and color schemes.

You can see the collection, including brand new releases, in the Paragon Gallery now.
