If you can’t see the waves crashing on the shore from your front window (or even if you can!), you can still bring that seaside feeling inside your house with some beautifully arranged beach art prints on your walls.
If you want to transform your home into a New England beach cottage, think soft pastels in your tropical beach prints. Let images of sand dunes, lighthouses, and sandcastles help bring you back to those breezy summer days. Selecting white-washed or distressed wood frames will heighten the effect.
Perhaps your style leans more toward the Caribbean way of life. Consider prints with bold colors reminiscent of warm Jamaican nights spent drinking rum punch and dancing to reggae beats. Showcase pictures of bright island foliage and houses, swaying palm trees, and pristine beaches. Frame them with a darker wood or natural fiber frame to make the colors really pop.
Maybe you desire to have a comfortable, relaxed Florida Keys kind of atmosphere in your home. Display pictures of long piers, peaceful bay waters, or fishing boats. Bright and outdoorsy, highlighting the sky and ocean in blue, a lightly colored natural wooden frame might be the best option to complement these pictures. Then settle down and play some Jimmy Buffet tunes and take pleasure in a frozen Margarita, while you stay home.
If you’re a beach bum who’s always thinking of the next wave, why not turn your home into your own little surf shack with the help of vivid art featuring surfboards, woody cars and your beloved waves? You can choose to showcase your art in colored or natural wood frames or if you’d like to display them on your patio instead, weather-resistant tin sign versions of many of the images are available and you won’t even need to frame those. Surf’s up!
An additional fabulous idea is hanging up wood signs with fantastic beach sayings such as “Surf’s Up,” Or , “Welcome To Our Beach House,” which let the world know how much you enjoy the ocean.
These are just a few ideas to highlight the ocean’s wonders in your beach house decor. Once you decide on what type of beach print you’re looking for, you’ll be one step closer to living in paradise.
