In response to their desires, creative designers have come up with a host of new ways to showcase the little ones' creativity without sacrificing one's sanity. [**Dynamic Frames**](http://dynamicframes.com/): These frame/cabinet hybrids offer a convenient, spring-loaded display case for traditional paper artwork. [**Do-Frame**](http://www.chocosho.com/Do-Frame+-Three+Delight-79943.asp): For braver moms, this roll of tape allows stray wall drawings to be transformed into artwork by simply taping a frame around the offending marks. [**Magnetic Wall Paint**](http://kling.com/): Who says magnets are just for the fridge? Magnetic paint transforms any stray surface or out of the way wall into an instant gallery. [**Fotofalls**](http://www.umbra.com/ustore/product/306992/c410/fotofalls_desktop.html): A nice desk solution, this tree of clips can hang up to 18 small works of art. [**Steel Cable System**](http://www.westelm.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=17001&langId=-1&catalogId=17002&viewSetCode=E&partNumber=WE-PRODb209&retainNav=true&parent_category_rn=&cmsrc=SCH&parentId=cable): This clothesline-inspired system will accommodate nearly any size or shape. For anyone who was still wondering, this should serve as reassuring confirmation that parenthood does not equal the death of style. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Creative Ways to Showcase Children's Artwork:** Dynamic frames, Do-Frame tape, and Magnetic Wall Paint show the trend of integrating creative artwork into home decor. - **Functional Display Solutions for Small Art Pieces:** Fotofalls and Steel Cable System show the trend of showcasing small works of art in a functional and decorative way. - **Innovative Hybrid Furniture:** Dynamic frames offering convenience and storage capabilities show the trend of developing furniture that serves multiple purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The development of creative and functional display solutions for small art pieces is a new opportunity for interior design industry to offer more personalized design. - **Hardware and Supplies:** The emergence of trend of using magnetic wall paint and tape to showcase children's artwork is an opportunity for hardware and supplies industry to produce innovative and specialized products. - **Furniture Design and Manufacturing:** The creation of hybrid furniture such as Dynamic Frames presents an opportunity for the furniture industry to develop multi-functional products that meet both storage and decorative needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Gallery Wall Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibit-wall-picture-frames.md) - [Kid-Friendly Tech Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-frames-1.md) - [Decorative Data-Rich Smart Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-digital-frame.md) - [Immersive Tablet Picture Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iframix-smart-frame.md) - [Modular Marble Photo Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memorable-picture-frame.md) - [Kid-Designed Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galerie-philia.md) - [Vertical Honeycomb Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-art-storage-system.md) - [Maternal-Themed Sculptural Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-and-child.md) - [Contemporary Playroom Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randle-wall-climbing-handle.md)
