Transforming a wall in your child’s bedroom into a photo wall is a great family project. From working together to choose the right pictures to working on the final layout, it’s a great way to spend time together.

Top creative ideas when creating a picture wall in your child’s bedroom
Choose a theme
The theme you choose should be your child’s greatest interest and passion. Whether it’s space, underwater worlds, jungles or fairy tales, every image chosen for the picture wall should fit into or relate to your theme.
Make it personal
The best way to make your child’s photo wall personal is to incorporate your child’s own artwork. This could be drawings or paintings displayed in colourful frames. This will not only add a personal touch but also boost their confidence in their creativity.
Mix up the mediums and sizes
Combine different mediums such as framed prints, canvases, wall decals and even three-dimensional elements like wooden letters or fabric decorations. Mixing textures and materials adds depth and visual interest to your child’s favourite wall. You could also create a gallery wall by arranging various-sized frames in a visually appealing layout. You can mix and match frame styles and colours for a playful, eclectic look. If your child needs some extra storage space, why not add a shelf or two into the mix?
Include interactive elements
Why not make a section of your child’s picture wall a chalkboard? This can be simply achieved using chalkboard paint and gives your child the fun opportunity to draw or write messages to themselves on their wall.
Add inspirational quotes
Include motivational or inspirational quotes between the works of art. You could also include quotes from your child’s favourite book or movie. Display these quotes in colourful and whimsical fonts.
Change it up regularly
Keep your child’s picture wall exciting by incorporating seasonal decorations or themed artwork that changes throughout the year. Think Christmas decorations, snowflakes in winter and red/brown leaf motifs during autumn. Similarly, if your child is particularly excited about a sport, you could include goal posts and game-related motifs in the appropriate season.
Include your child’s friends and family members
If the theme idea doesn’t seem right for your child, then create a memory wall. Ask friends and family members to send you photos of memorable moments they shared with your child. Your child’s wall could become a collage of precious moments spent with their loved ones. This can be a great idea for older children and teenagers.
