The right piece of LDS art can turn a blank wall into a daily reminder of the Savior, the temple, and the covenants that tie your family together. Whether you are decorating a new home, refreshing a single room, or shopping for a meaningful gift, this guide walks you through the main types of LDS art, how to choose frames and sizes, budget-friendly prints for classrooms and small spaces, and what to give for weddings, baptisms, and missions.
Start With the Feeling You Want in the Room
Before you browse, think about where the piece will hang and what you want it to say. Art of Jesus Christ invites reflection and peace. Temple art points your family toward covenants and eternal goals. Framed Church proclamations put inspired teachings where everyone can read them. Many homes end up with a mix of all three, but starting with one purpose makes the choice much easier.
- Where will it hang? A wide wall above a sofa or bed calls for a larger piece, while a hallway, nook, or desk suits something smaller.
- Who will see it most? Young children often connect with images of the Savior with children or lambs, while teens and adults may appreciate a proclamation they can read and ponder.
- What is your style? Classic, modern, hand-lettered, and vintage designs can feel very different in the same room, so look at the furniture and colors already in the space.
Art of Jesus Christ
Images of the Savior are often the centerpiece of a Latter-day Saint home. Our framed art of Jesus Christ features exclusive images created by the LDSBookstore.com team, showing Christ with children, with His sheep, and in quiet moments of ministry. Choose a scene that speaks to the people who will walk past it every day.
This joyful piece shows Christ laughing with a group of children, a natural fit for a family room or a child's bedroom. It comes in 5 frame options and 3 sizes, printed on durable matte paper with an option to upgrade to matte canvas.
Christ embracing a sheep in His arms is a tender reminder that the Good Shepherd knows each of us. It is professionally printed and mounted in a simple, modern frame, and it is also available as a small print.

Temple Art, Including Personalized Temple Art
Temple art is one of the most personal ways to decorate. Many families choose the temple where they were sealed, the temple closest to home, or one connected to their family history. You can browse all of our framed temple art by style, from detailed drawings to vintage designs.
Personalized Temple Art
Personalized temple prints let you pick your temple and add your own text, such as a couple's names and sealing date, an endowment date, or a favorite quote. That small touch turns a beautiful print into a family keepsake.
Type in the temple of your choice and this detailed, hand-drawn design can include two lines of personalization plus decorative elements you select. It is available in multiple styles, 5 frame options, and 3 sizes.
This clean, modern print lets you choose your temple, two lines of text, and one of four colors. It comes in two print sizes on heavyweight paper or matte canvas and is mounted in an open black frame. Note that because of their shape, some temples are placed on a horizontal 17 x 11 inch poster.
Vintage Temple Art
Vintage-style temple designs bring a timeless look to a living room or office. This one can be personalized, comes in multiple sizes and frame types, and is described as a fitting gift for a wedding, anniversary, sealing, or temple worker.
Framed Church Proclamations
A framed proclamation keeps prophetic teaching in view for the whole family. The most popular choices are The Family: A Proclamation to the World, The Living Christ, and the Restoration proclamation, and you can find each in several designs among our framed Church proclamations. If you want the background on these documents, read a brief history of Church proclamations.
Think about style first. The Family Proclamation, for example, comes in classic, hand-lettered, modern, and photo designs, so you can match a traditional living room or a minimalist one. If you have room for more than one, a matching set keeps the look consistent.
This classic design features the full text of The Family: A Proclamation to the World. It is available in multiple sizes and frame types, printed on matte paper, with an option to upgrade to matte canvas.
This set includes framed copies of The Living Christ, The Family Proclamation, and the Restoration proclamation in a coordinated modern design, an easy way to fill a wall with three pieces that belong together.
Framed vs. Unframed: Frame and Size Options
Most framed pieces of LDS art in our collection share the same basic options, so once you understand them you can shop with confidence. Always check the individual product page, since a few designs differ.
- Art sizes: Many framed pieces come in 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20 art sizes.
- Frame measurements: Frames measure about 1 inch larger than the art. For example, product pages list 8x10 art in a 9x11 frame and 11x14 art in a 12x15 frame.
- No glass: Framed art does not come with glass, which the product pages describe as glare free and safer.
- Paper or canvas: Most pieces let you choose durable matte paper or upgrade to matte canvas. Product pages also mention a UV glossy coating that adds a layer of protection against scratches and nicks.
- Frame styles: Many images of the Savior and the personalized hand-drawn temple art offer 5 frame options, while the personalized outline temple print comes in an open black frame.
- Unframed: Items labeled Framed/Unframed can be ordered without a frame if you already have one you love. The Be Not Afraid Proclamation Set, for example, is carefully rolled when a frame is not chosen.
A simple sizing tip: measure your wall and any furniture beneath it before you order. A piece that spans roughly half to two-thirds the width of a sofa or dresser usually looks balanced, and a small 8x10 can get lost on a large wall unless it is part of a grouping.

Prints and Minicards for Budget and Classroom Use
Not every piece needs a frame. Our Jesus Christ art prints are compact, professionally printed, and feature inspirational messages on the back. They are a budget-friendly way to try a new image, decorate a Primary or seminary classroom, tuck a reminder into your scriptures, or share with someone you minister to.
This print shows Christ smiling beneath the sunshine. It comes in two sizes with inspirational messages on the back, and a framed version is available if you decide you want it on the wall later.
This set includes 50 images of Jesus Christ on 2.5 x 3.5 inch cards with gilded gold edges and a related scripture on the back of each. Everything fits in the included wood art stand, which can be personalized with a message. Display a favorite or rotate a new card each day - a great idea for a teacher's desk or a classroom.
Choosing LDS Art as a Gift
Art makes a lasting gift because it stays in the home long after the occasion. A few ideas by event:
Weddings and Sealings
A personalized temple print with the couple's names and sealing date is hard to beat, and vintage temple art is described as a fitting wedding, anniversary, or sealing gift. A framed Family Proclamation is another thoughtful choice for a new home.
Baptisms
Choose an image of the Savior with children for a child's bedroom, or give the Behold Him Minicard Art Set, which its description names as a thoughtful gift for baptisms. Browse more LDS baptism gifts to round out the day.
Missions
Missionaries have limited space, so compact prints and minicards travel well. The Behold Him set is also suggested for mission farewells, and a small print of a favorite image can go anywhere. For a missionary's family at home, a framed image of the Savior or The Living Christ makes a meaningful reminder while their loved one serves.
