Guest Picks: Abstract Art to Colorize Kids' Rooms
Ignite creativity in young ones with brightly colored prints and canvases that speak to originality
I know what you're thinking: There is not a single animal, vehicle, toy or recognizable thing in any of these beautiful pieces of art. OK, maybe some flower-ish shapes and one heart, but that's about it. I promise, there's a reason: Bright colors, beautiful patterns and originality are more important to share with your kids than another print of a sweet bunny.
Create a gallery wall in your child's nursery to start them off young. You will be able to easily incorporate an entire range of prints and paintings from representational bunnies and abstract landscapes to their first finger paintings. You'd be amazed what kids will like if you open their minds to the possibilities. — Mari from Small for Big

'Hydra II' Pigment on Panel
Rich colors and varied hues remind me of striated earth or beautiful agates. There are many more color variations available for this print too.
'The Opening' Acrylic on Canvas
My daughter would tell me this is a rainbow picture, and who am I to argue? I can also see waterfalls and speeding cars.
Hot Pink, Indigo Blue & Emerald Green Watercolor Clouds Print
This is a perfect accent for a girly-girl's room. It will add a little class to the space.
'Night Garden' Print
My daughter may start begging me for this print — she's really obsessed with flowers right now.
Fine Art Giclee Print, 'Sunset Landscape' by Siiso
Need to remember a sunny day at the beach? I think this print might do the trick.
'Change II (Redux)' Abstract Art Print by Aeropagita Prints
Got a girl who loves hearts? Indulge her with this art print. There is only one teensy heart, but combined with lots of beautifully colored petals, it should keep you both happy.
'Hamsa' Acrylic and Pastel on Paper
Like a rainy afternoon outside of your window, these rich colors would ground a brightly colored space.
'Dusk' Reproduction Print
Ask your kids what they see when they look at abstract art like this. My daughter says she sees a man and flowers. How about you?
'Sorbet II' Art Print
Take a cue from the neon trend and keep your kids happy with this print. It's so bright and brilliant that it can't help but cheer you up.
Cobolt Collage
Give your kids some inspiration for their next collage. Wouldn't it be wonderful if their art could look as good as this all the time?
Fjall Shadowbox
A little patchwork never hurts, and this one adds lots of pattern and interest. I could decorate a whole room based on this one piece of art.
Zonder Titel 2003 Watercolor
This reminds me of all the times I look up and stare at the leaves over my head. It's one of my favorite things to do in the summer.
'Into the Sun' Art Print
This piece has been inspiring me for months. The palette is amazing, and the ethereal colors feel so magical.
'With Distance' Archival Print
My favorite color is teal, and I swear it goes with everything: red, orange, blue, green, yellow, purple — yep, it goes with everything!
'Fun II' Art Print
My little girl would tell me this is either confetti or glitter, and then we'd start chatting about her ever-evolving perfect birthday party (the one that's still six months away).
'Summer Song' Art Print
Bring blue skies to your children's lives no matter the weather forecast or time of day. Who knows, it might even help keep the monsters away.
'Ooh La Landscape' Canvas by Barnheart
This reminds me of one of Kandinsky's colorful paintings, but this original piece of art is much more affordable.
'Gala' Archival Art Print by Aeropagita Prints
This one might just be destined for my little girl's room. Her nickname is Birdie, and these brightly colored "feathers" are a great way to honor that.
