Decorating with Children's Photographs

Designing a beautiful and functional room while incorporating family photographs is often a decorating challenge. Portraits tend not to favor the walls in home decorating and design. As an interior decorator and artist, Margie believes that family photographs and interior design go hand in hand. By fusing interior design with family unity, a heartfelt and artful balance can be achieved. The entire portrait industry has changed forever. Gone are the days of taking boring ordinary photographs of kids sitting on carpeted tables. It’s probably the reason designing a beautiful room while incorporating family photographs was such a challenge in the first place. Today, it’s all about fun, fresh and unique!

Many psychologists who specialize in early childhood development believe that children who see their own images displayed throughout the home grow up with a feeling of well-being and self-confidence. Portraits on display serve to make a child feel loved and valued. (from the seven ages of childhood program)
Decorating with your children’s photos can do more than add warmth and beauty to a home, it can actually enhance your child’s self-esteem. In the book “The Magic of Encouragement: Nurturing Your Child’s Self-Esteem” author and psychotherapist Stephanie Marston suggests placing two images of a child next to the child’s bed. One should show the child happily involved in an activity that they enjoy and the other should show the family together (parents and child nurturing each other or playing together). These images of your child being empowered and being loved will be “the last thing they see before they go to sleep and the first thing they see when they wake up. Images speak louder than words, so these photos can be a great benefit to a child’s development. Stephanie Marston’s book, The Magic of Encouragement: Nurturing Your Child’s Self-Esteem, can be found at http://www.stephaniemarston.com/
What better way to show how you feel about your child than to decorate your home with baby portraits made at important milestones in their life.
