Hanging Artworks In The Home

When I was just starting out my journey on setting up spaces in our home conducive for Kimi, I joined an e-course entitled Setting Up Your Home Montessori-style being run by Simone Davies of The Montessori Notebook. I do recommend this course for parents who do not know where and how to start in preparing their home environment for their child. It helped me a lot in building some perspective on how I can efficiently use the space in our house to support Kimi’s learning.

One of the things that I learned in this course is putting up artworks at the child’s height around the home. Aside from it being aesthetically pleasing, hanging up artwork gives a different vibe to a space. I wanted as well to expose Kimi to beautiful and realistic artworks that is why I really took note of this.

To adapt this to our home, I put up two A4 sized frames in our living room wall, one on top of each cube shelf. I was initially planning to get some nice art prints to display but found them a bit hard to find at the moment.

Although Kimi already has a designated area in our house where he can display and hang his own paintings and drawings, I temporarily opted to transfer some of his artworks here while I was still searching.

My brother recently grew an interest in watercolour painting. He is still learning his way through but his lovely paintings are exactly the breath of fresh air that I was looking for. These are his first two creations and I immediately adored them the moment I laid eyes on them. The timing could not be more perfect.

It also just amused me how technology has made it easy for him to share these to us and for us to just print them and display them here for Kimi to enjoy.

I can’t wait to see how he develops his watercolour skills and we are looking forward to him sharing his creations to us. We are grateful that we already have a constant source of artworks we can look at here in our home.
