Are you (and your home) drowning in kids’ artwork? Creating a beautiful kids’ art display is easier than you may think! Here are 11 brilliant ways to display kids’ art stylishly that save space in your home.
It’s the old cliché: kids’ art neatly displayed all over the refrigerator. The reality is a little messier – and baffling: what do you do with the mountains of creativity that your kids create both at school and at home?
As any parent knows, kids ooze creativity and love new art to draw, paint, and color to their heart’s content – and then display their art for the world to see. Once you run out of space in the fridge (there’s only so much room!), all the artwork and art collection that isn’t displayed gets thrown away or put into piles. Of course, this leads to unwanted clutter.
How do you preserve your child’s artwork while also creating a kids’ art display that showcases their original masterpieces in a meaningful & uncluttered way?
Through my own experience – as well as scouring the internet for ideas – I am bringing you 11 different ways (perfect solution) to create a beautiful kids’ artwork display that will help you contain the clutter and preserve their art for years to come.

Here’s another simple DIY project. It combines the hanging line and clipboard hanging projects by creating a picture hanging strip. Secure it to the wall and quickly change out artwork anytime you want.
Kids Artwork Book
How does keeping your child’s artwork forever (without the clutter) sound? The Artkive App lets you digitally store all the artwork with the option of making a keepsake artwork photo book. Hello, coffee table conversation piece!
Here’s how it works: the company will send you a box, and you fill it with your child’s artwork. Then every piece is professionally photographed and stored digitally, which you can access and share from any device. I love this idea because anytime I try to take pictures of my children’s artwork, there are unwanted shadows or creases. Artkive is like pressing the easy button for digitizing children’s artwork.
Art Gallery Display Shelves | Centsational Style
How fun is this! Use frames (all the same or make it eclectic with different colors and shapes) to hold the artwork then create a kids’ art display with shelves. You can use regular sized shelves or smaller, ledge shelves.
Use Hangers | Honest
How many pant and skirt hangers do you have around the house (we have a ton!)? Use them for kids’ art display! If you have boards or shiplap, you can hang them on there. If you don’t, there are LOTS of possibilities for how you can hang them, but the easiest would be to use small nails and hang the hangers from the nails.
Keepy App
The Keepy App has some similarities (and differences) to Artkive. Keepy is a free app that you can download, but to use the service, there is a free version and a paid version. If you have multiple kids that all like to create art, the paid version is worth the $10 a year. With Keepy, you can snap photos of artwork, record voice messages about each piece, share images with friends and family, assign projects to different children ( helpful when you have more than one!), and order various products with the artwork on them (including canvas prints) from their shop.Â
If you are not sure how to store and display your kids art, try these ideas. I know they will help you reduce clutter and create beautiful kids’ art displays that help you preserve their hard work for years to come.Â
