If the view of your front window doesn’t include waves splashing on the shore, you can still have a seaside atmosphere flowing inside your home when you decorate your walls with tropical artwork.
If you want to transform your home into a New England beach cottage, think soft pastels in your beach print. 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.
Maybe a Caribbean lifestyle is your preference. Imagine prints with lively colors bringing memories of hot Jamaican nights spent sipping rum punch and dancing to reggae music. Display photos of vibrant island plants and houses, palm trees blowing in the wind, and beautiful beaches. Enclosed these images in a dark wooden or natural fiber frame to really make the colors shine.
Maybe you’d like your home to portray a cool, laid-back, Florida Keys type attitude. Show off images of long piers, calm bay waters, and deep-sea fishing boats. Bright and airy featuring the blues of the sky and ocean, these pictures might be best framed in a light-color natural wood frame. Then relax, put on some Jimmy Buffet music and enjoy a frozen Margarita, all without leaving your house.
Finally, perhaps you’re more of a “Surf’s Up” type of beach bum, always thinking about that next great wave. If this is you, create your perfect surf shack with vivid artwork depictions of colorful surfboards, vintage woody cars or long barrel waves. For these you can use colored or natural wood frames. Or maybe you’d like to hang them outside on your patio. Many of the same images are available as weather-resistant tin signs for indoor or outdoor use! No framing necessary.
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.
Figuring out what style of tropical beach prints suits your home best is the hardest part. From there, finishing off your ideal coastal cottage decor should be as easy as a walk on the beach.
