Perk up your child's bedroom with fun canvas art or a print that pops! Here are some of our fave local stores and artists offering something special...
When it comes to the kids’ bedrooms, we’re always on the lookout for practical-yet-cool space-saving furniture, gorgeous rugs and the ultimate way to store all of that Lego (when we’re not stepping on it and lacerating our feet). But once you’ve achieved bedroom perfection (for the five minutes before the kids trash it again), you’re going to need some finishing touches. We’re talking posters, prints and canvas art and we know exactly where to find them here in Singapore!
1. Sammyeve

Whether you are searching for the perfect handmade print for your kid’s bedroom, or are looking out for a great gift for a special little person, Sammyeve is one of the cutest finds in town. Created by a mum who understands what we’re looking for when it comes to a Pinterest-worthy bedroom for the small people, each and every piece that leaves the design studio is individually made using the highest quality materials and attention to detail. Choose from anything from Singapore themes and superhero designs to typographic goodies and Chinese zodiac prints. Then, once you’ve confirmed your personalised instructions, sit back and wait for your unique piece of art to roll home. Psst: we also love the height charts, how cute!
Where: Sammyeve, online only.
2. Kristen Kiong

Local artist Kristen Kiong has illustrated for a number of children’s books in Singapore, with a distinct whimsical style that’s perfect for kids’ bedrooms! We love her collection of alphabet prints, which can even be customisable by skin colour and background colour to better suit your little one.

We’re crushing on the retro posters, prints and canvases of local scenes and products (can someone please buy us the retro Qantas tiger canvas?). Even the moodiest of teens might just crack a smile while choosing something fabulous for their pit room. We want to deck our whole house out in Singapore Trading Post style – just take a peek inside their gorgeous store!
