“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. You can give them your love but not your thoughts. Because they have their own thoughts.” -Khalil Gibran

This great message from Khalil is so true for your special child, with their own unique abilities, likes, dislikes and personality. The same is true when it comes to decorating his room: he may support them lovingly, but they will have their own ideas about how their room should look and feel.

What’s the best way to strike the right balance in terms of kids’ room decor without burning a big hole in your bag? Canvases with multiple sizes and finishes are a very good option. Here are our top 10 ideas to get you started:

1. photos on canvas: There is no better way than using some of your children’s carefully selected personal photos to give the room a personal feel and let them make a statement about their personality.
2. Birthday photo collage: Children love to see how they have grown year after year and there is nothing better than making a collage of birthday party photos on canvas to show the same.
3. Children and Pets on Canvas: For many families and children, pets are an integral part of life. Kids love animals and cheap canvas print options ensure those memories find center stage in a child’s room.
