Big thanks to Minted for sponsoring this decor for playroom blog post 🙂
We’ve been in the S.L.O.W. process of refreshing the kids’ playroom/office/bonus space for months and after waiting on furniture and making decisions, it’s time for the fun part! Watching it all come together 🙂
I LOVE Minted for just about everything – holiday cards, personalized aprons, personalized puzzles, custom photo art, fine art prints – the sky is the limit!
A statement piece above the mantle in the kids’ playroom was definitely on my list – this room is visible from our front door, with no wall or door to close to separate it from the line of sight, so I wanted art that was FUN with a pop of color but that also coordinated with the overall vibe of our first floor. Keep scrolling to see the after! The before…
I love “window shopping” on Minted’s website – they have thousands of designs from independent artists from all over the globe and you just tap the little <3 on anything you like.
Had SO much fun curating 15 art combos for our decor for the playroom – in our case, I wanted a contrasting but complimentary duo to live on the mantle. I truly loved every combination, so I took to IG Story polls to get some second opinions 😉 keep scrolling to see what we chose!
And now til the end of 2022, you get 10% off your first Minted Fine Art Print order with code VALART2022 (code works for new customers only on both framed and unframed fine art prints)

1 // Sandstone Cliffs + Lolli Pop
Loved this combo of abstract landscape with pops of color + a fun candy-themed piece of art.

6 // Komorebi + Sunshine Alpaca
This combo felt really adult yet whimsical.
7 // Obidos + Honey Bear
I’m not usually a huge ‘yellow’ person but the green door, yellow accents and cute little honey bear had me seriously considering this combo!
9 // Morning River + Together
Very into the tranquil vibes here and liked that there was both pinks & blues in both pieces of art.
10 // LaRue No 2 + Bubblegum Bear
This combo was definitely a little eclectic but just so fun!
12 // Lake View South Carolina + Quack Stack
Really into the juxtaposition between the abstract & the geometric animal print.
13 // Parisian Street Style 2 + Dog Study
HAD to have the dog print & the Street Style just felt right.
14 // Windswept Protea + Flamingo Amigos
This abstract landscape was ALMOST my favorite – I love the brushstrokes and pops of color. The flamingos just felt like a fun compliment!
15 // Busy Beach + Cherry On Top
I love both of these – to me, they both scream ‘nostaligia’.
Winning Combo
Soft Dreams + Dog Study
In the end, I loved Soft Dreams but wanted to go another direction instead of the graphic text art in Option #2 and dogs just felt right, so this was it!
I actually ended up leaning Soft Dreams vertically and LOVE the way they look together! Check out the brushstrokes on the right – hard to even tell it’s a fine art print and not original!

I loved this playful playground print with the Soft Dreams but ultimately went with doggos :).
