Perfect for interior design and education! How to choose the perfect paintings for early childhood

Introduction

Children's sensibilities and imaginations develop greatly during their early childhood years. Did you know that incorporating paintings, just like toys and picture books, can add a stylish touch to your home's interior while also providing educational benefits? Recently, paintings for home decor have been gaining attention, with interest growing among educators and parents alike. In this article, we'll explain how to choose the perfect paintings for young children, both from an interior design and educational perspective.


1. The benefits of incorporating art into early childhood

Cultivating sensitivity and imagination

Paintings rich in color and shape stimulate young children's senses. Abstract paintings and works using pop colors in particular encourage children to expand their imaginations by asking, "What does this look like?"

Encourages language development

By looking at the pictures and talking with your child, your child's vocabulary will naturally increase, with expressions such as "It's red," "It's big," and "It looks like it's moving." Just like picture books, pictures can also be used as teaching materials to develop language.

peace of mind

Natural landscapes and gentle illustrations have a calming effect on children, making them perfect for relaxing before sleep or in the living room.


2. Tips for incorporating paintings into your interior

Size selection

In a space where young children live, a small framed picture or A3 size is appropriate, as it is not too large. By displaying it as an accent on a part of the wall, it can blend in without overwhelming the interior.

Color ingenuity

For living rooms and children's rooms, bright orange, green, blue, and other colors that create a sense of psychological security are effective. Rather than monotone, it is preferable to choose a color scheme that gives a sense of warmth and fun.

Harmony with the room

Landscapes and botanical motifs are perfect for rooms with lots of natural wooden furniture, while pop art and abstract paintings create a balanced look for modern interiors.


3. Recommended painting genres for young children

4. How to incorporate art education into the home

Naturally incorporate it into your daily life

Decorate your dining table or play space wall with them, and use them to naturally bring art into everyday conversation, asking questions like, "What colors did you notice today?"

Changing artworks with each season

By changing the art to reflect the seasons, such as pictures of cherry blossoms and flowers in spring, the sea and sky in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy landscapes in winter, children can develop a sense of the rhythm and sensitivity of the seasons.

Decorating experience with children

By incorporating the child's own opinions when selecting a picture, they will develop a sense of it being their own space, which they have chosen themselves, and they will naturally develop a stronger attachment to the picture and a deeper interest in art.


summary

Paintings displayed during early childhood are not just interior décor, but also have important educational significance. They have the power to develop sensitivity and language, calm the mind, and broaden family communication. When choosing a painting, it is important to consider the size, color, and motif, and to incorporate one that suits the atmosphere of your home.

Choosing paintings from both an interior and educational perspective will not only support your child's development, but will also make the entire home space more comfortable and enriching. Why not start a "life with art" from an early age?
