Letter Wall Art To Be Personalised And Cherished

Letter wall art is a great way to teach young children letter recognition, which is why it’s such a popular choice of genre for wall art for nurseries and children’s bedrooms. We share monograms we have designed for some of our favourite girls names using pressed flowers and embroidery and share our ideas for different types of letter wall art.

Types Of Letter Wall Art

Monogram – One or more letters, typically the initials of a name.

Abbreviations – A short form of a word or phrase

Acronyms – An abbreviation made from the first letter of each word

Words – Letters that make up a whole word

Slogans – A phrase used repeatedly like a moto.

Quotes – To repeat or copy the words spoken by another person

Monograms

We love designing monograms and also personalising them with a hand written name underneath. These embroidered monograms are handmade using silk and alpaca stitch work and museum grade papers. Each piece is printed with pressed flowers which were grown in a small garden in Somerset and pressed in a traditional flower press. Here are some of our favourite and favourite names which you can order from our Contempfleury shop.

A date when your child outgrows their early childhood passions and want to be more grown up. Contempfleury letter art is designed to transcend not only developmental stages but also time. It’s artwork for all ages!

When To Gift Letter Wall Art

Christenings, Baptisms & Naming Ceremonies

As gifts from parents, godparents, friends and family.

Birthdays

Whether gifting on the birth of a child or for their 3^rd, 8^th, 15^th or 50^th birthday, this art can be ageless!

Gifts to thank flower girls, and the maid of honour at your wedding, for playing an important part in your special day.

Abbreviations

Thinking about using abbreviation for letter wall art, I began to brainstorm what abbreviations would make great art. You probably see abbreviations and acronyms all over the internet. Here are a few texting abbreviations that would be great as art:

LOL – Laugh Out Loud

ILY – I Love You

BFF – Best Friends Forever

FIMH – Forever In My Heart

Abbreviations for geography and map locations:

SW – Southwest

NW – Northwest

SE – Southeast

NE – Northeast

Words

Choosing words to make into art can add a deeply personal touch to a room. For example a person practising yoga or meditation may choose words like ‘namaste’ or ‘inhale’ to hang on their walls. Below is a piece of art I made for a friend a few years ago.

Likewise choosing words from different languages is fun. Here is a piece of wall art I made using the word home in English, Greek and Italian, to represent my families ethnicity.

Slogans and Quotes

Displaying slogans and quotes that mean something to you can be motivational and inspiring. I love quotes linked to nature like the following:

‘‘Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale’’ Hans Christen Anderson

‘’You can’t use up Creativity. The more you use, the more you have.’’ Maya Angelou

‘‘Why fit in when you were born to stand out?’’ Dr. Seuss

‘’If you can dream it, you can do it.’’ Walt Disney

‘‘Great things often start off small.’’ Roald Dahl

Conclusion

Letter wall art can be created using many different compositions of letters and words as well as single monograms. We took inspiration from nature for the design of our monograms to make them pieces of art that will transcend time and be cherished forever.
