Hello and blessings!
We’re John & Zoey, the husband-and-wife team behind FaithTime Art. When we moved into our own home, we realized how much meaningful Christian decor matters. It’s not just about filling walls – it’s about filling your space with reminders of God’s love, promises, and presence.
A new house is a fresh beginning, and what better way to make it feel like home than by surrounding it with Christian wall art that reflects your faith?
Today, we’re excited to share some of our favorite Christian housewarming gifts – special decor items that will bless any home and warmly invite Christ into every room. Each of these gift ideas carries spiritual significance and style, turning a house into a Christ-centered home. (And yes, they’re all things we’d love in our own home, too!)
As you explore these ideas, remember: your home should reflect both your faith and your personal style. Feel free to mix and match, and let the Holy Spirit guide you in choosing the perfect piece. With that said, let’s dive into our top ten picks for a blessed home!
1. “As for Me and My House” Scripture Wall Art – Declaring a Christ-Centered Home
One of the most iconic Bible verses for any Christian home is Joshua 24:15: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” A beautiful wall art piece featuring this verse makes a powerful statement in a new home. It’s like hanging your family’s mission statement right by the front door!
Every time you or a guest walks in, this scripture boldly proclaims that Christ reigns in your household. Whether done in elegant calligraphy, rustic farmhouse style, or modern typography, “As for Me and My House” art blends meaning with decor effortlessly. It’s more than just a decoration – it’s a daily declaration of faith over your home.
- Why It’s Special: Declares your home’s commitment to serve the Lord from day one.
- Ideal Placement: Entryway or living room, where it’s immediately visible to all who enter.
- Matching Decor Styles: Versatile design options (rustic wood sign, sleek canvas, or framed print) fit farmhouse, traditional, or contemporary interiors.
- Faith Impact: Sets a tone of worship and dedication, reminding family and visitors that your household stands on God’s Word.
Browse our beautiful Scripture Wall Art Collection to find a piece that resonates with your home and style. Placing this verse at your doorway is like hanging a blessing over your entire house – a perfect Christian housewarming gift for yourself or loved ones moving into a new place.
2. Decorative Wall Cross – Keeping Faith at the Center
Every Christian home can be anchored by the symbol of the cross. Gifting a decorative wall cross is a timeless way to infuse faith into a new home’s decor. From simple wooden crosses to artistic metal designs, a wall cross instantly turns a blank wall into a statement of belief. It serves as a daily reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice and love – the very foundation upon which a Christ-centered home is built.
You can choose a design that matches the home’s aesthetic: minimalist Christian art (like a sleek metal outline of a cross) for modern spaces, or an ornate engraved cross for a more classic touch. Hang it in a prominent spot, and it quietly yet powerfully keeps Christ at the center of the home.
- Why It’s Special: The cross is the ultimate symbol of our faith – having it on the wall sanctifies the space.
- Ideal Placement: Above a mantle, in an entry foyer, or as part of a gallery wall. It also works beautifully over the bed or in a prayer corner.
- Matching Decor Styles: Choose carved wood for farmhouse or traditional homes, iron or bronze for vintage vibes, and acrylic or metal for a modern, minimalist look.
- Unique Features: Some wall crosses incorporate words (like “Faith”, “Hope”, “Love”) or motifs like vines and nails, adding even more meaning.
Consider pairing the cross with other wall art or family photos to create a faith-focused collage. Every glance at that cross will encourage those in the home to reflect on God’s love. It’s a simple yet profoundly meaningful housewarming gift. (Explore our Christian Paintings Collection to pair with a cross.)
3. Jesus with Children – Celebrating Family Blessings
A new home often means new memories to be made, especially for families with children. What could be more fitting than art that celebrates Jesus’ love for the little ones? A Jesus with Children painting or print captures the warmth and welcome Christ extends to all of us, young and old. Imagine a lovely artwork of Jesus surrounded by children, smiling and playing – it’s heartwarming and hopeful, perfect for a family moving into a house. This kind of piece reminds parents and kids alike that Jesus is an ever-present friend and protector in their home. It’s an ideal gift for families, godchildren, or even Sunday school teachers furnishing a home.
Contemporary Jesus Art - Jesus with Children
- Why It’s Meaningful: Emphasizes that children are a blessing and that Christ’s love abides with the family. It’s like hanging a visual prayer for your kids on the wall.
- Ideal Placement: The family room or children’s playroom, where it can inspire joy and faith in everyday moments. Also wonderful for a nursery if the housewarming coincides with a new baby.
- Decor Style: Look for art with bright, cheerful colors for a kid-friendly space, or a more subdued, modern illustration for the living area. Either way, the tender theme shines through.
- Faith Message: Conveys the biblical sentiment, “Let the little children come to Me” (Matthew 19:14), making it clear that your home is a place where youthful faith is nurtured.
A depiction of Jesus hugging or guiding children will not only complement your Christian home decor but also encourage family members to grow in kindness and “childlike” faith. It’s a gift that speaks to the heart of what makes a house a home: love, laughter, and the Lord’s presence.
4. “Daily Bread” Kitchen Art – Nourishment for Body and Soul
They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where meals – and memories – are made. Why not infuse this lively space with spiritual warmth too? Kitchen scripture art is a fantastic housewarming gift, bringing blessings right to the dining table. Think of a piece that features a verse or phrase about gratitude and provision, such as “Give us this day our daily bread” or “Taste and see that the Lord is good”. A wall sign with “Bless this kitchen” or a graceful print of an uplifting mealtime prayer can transform a cooking space into a place of worship. Every time the new homeowners cook or share a meal, they’ll have a visual reminder to be thankful and to recognize God’s provision.
- Why It’s Special: Elevates daily routines (cooking, eating) into opportunities for thankfulness. It literally feeds the soul while feeding the body!
- Ideal Placement: Hung on a kitchen wall, above the dining table, or even propped on a shelf or counter. A small framed scripture can also sit on a kitchen windowsill or atop the fridge.
- Matching Decor: If the kitchen has a farmhouse style, a rustic wooden plaque with cursive scripture fits perfectly. For a modern kitchen, a clean typographic print in black and white would look chic.
Gifting Christian wall art for the kitchen encourages the homeowners to start and end each day with gratitude. Imagine them seeing faith-filled art each morning with their coffee, or a Bible verse about thankfulness each time they gather for dinner. It sets a habit of praise in the home.
5. Serenity in the Meadow – Bringing Peace to Your Home
“Serenity in the Meadow” is one of our favorite art pieces for creating a peaceful atmosphere. This artwork portrays Jesus walking through a field of wildflowers beneath a gentle sky – a scene that feels like a breath of fresh air right on your wall. For someone moving into a new home (which can be a stressful time), this gift offers a beautiful reminder to pause and find rest in Christ.
The soft yet vivid brushstrokes bring the meadow to life, with warm reds, golden yellows, and pure whites blooming in harmony—symbolic of the beauty of God's creation.
- Spiritual Meaning: This piece evokes Psalm 23: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters.” It reminds us that walking with Christ brings peace, renewal, and faith.
- Ideal Placement: Perfect for a prayer space, entryway, or living room, where its calming presence can invite meditation and spiritual reflection.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The rich textures and warm earth tones make it a stunning fit for classic, rustic, or faith-inspired interiors. It pairs beautifully with wooden frames, neutral walls, and soft lighting to create a space that feels sacred and welcoming.
- Emotional Connection: This piece invites viewers to step into the scene, to follow in Christ’s footsteps, and to reflect on their own spiritual journey.
By gifting Serenity in the Meadow, you’re essentially giving the new homeowners a moment of quiet faith each time they glance at their wall. In the hustle of setting up a home, that kind of serenity is priceless.
We’ve heard from many who place this print in their living area and love how it brings a sense of God’s presence into everyday life. It’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember the One who walks beside them through every season.
6. Hand of God Canvas – Comforting Reminder of His Guidance
Moving into a new home is exciting, but it can also come with uncertainties – new neighborhood, new routines, and the unexpected twists of life. That’s why the “Hand of God” painting makes such a meaningful gift. This captivating artwork depicts God’s hand reaching from heaven, symbolizing His guidance and protection over the household.
Inspired by Isaiah 41:10 (“I will uphold you with My righteous right hand”), the image reassures that God is always near, ready to uplift and support the family in this new chapter. The artistic style of this piece – softly abstract yet unmistakably a divine hand – blends faith with creativity, making it a stunning addition to any room.
Here’s why this canvas shines as a housewarming gift:
- Encouragement in Every Glance: During tough days or decisions, one look at this art can remind the homeowners that they’re never alone. God’s hand is over their home, guiding them through.
- Ideal Spots: It’s a versatile piece that works in an office, study, or living room. Imagine it above a desk or prayer area – a perfect place where one might seek direction or solace.
- Design Aesthetic: With its mix of heavenly light and graceful movement, this canvas fits a variety of decor styles. It adds a touch of inspiration to modern spaces and a profound focal point in traditional settings. Soft blues, golds, or neutral tones in the painting can complement the home’s color scheme.
- Conversation Starter: Visitors will likely ask about the beautiful imagery, giving the homeowners a natural way to share about God’s promises and perhaps even a personal testimony of His guidance.
Every home needs God’s grace, and this artwork visually embeds that truth on the wall. It’s especially comforting for a family stepping into the unknowns of a new home. By gifting the Hand of God canvas, you’re essentially gifting peace of mind – a constant reminder that the Lord goes before them and stays beside them. This is one of those Christian home decor pieces that truly carries a ministry within it.
7. “Love Is Patient” Corinthians Wall Art – Foundation of a Godly Home
A Christ-centered home is built on love – patient, kind, enduring love. What better scripture to represent this than the famous lines from 1 Corinthians 13? Gifting a “Love is Patient, Love is Kind” wall art is especially thoughtful for newlyweds settling into their first home, but it speaks to any household striving to live in love. It’s both a beautiful piece of decor and a constant gentle reminder of how family members should treat one another.
- Why It Fits: These verses are often read at weddings, but they’re meant for daily life. In a home, they encourage forgiveness, understanding, and selfless care – essential qualities for harmonious living under one roof.
- Display Ideas: Center it in the living room or master bedroom where it can influence the atmosphere with its message. It also looks lovely as part of a gallery wall with family photos and maybe a cross or wreath.
- Style Options: You can find this verse art in many designs – from a chic minimal black-and-white print that complements modern decor, to floral and pastel designs that warm up a cottage or traditional space. Gold foil lettering versions add a touch of elegance for those who like a bit of shine.
By hanging “Love is Patient, Love is Kind” on their wall, the homeowners essentially frame their home’s core values where all can see. It’s amazing how reading a verse like that in the heat of a chaotic morning can diffuse tension and refocus everyone on what matters – love.
This gift not only decorates a home, it actively helps shape it into a place of kindness and godly character.
