Regardless of whether or not your front window offers an oceanfront view, you can always bring a little taste of the beach into your home by adorning your walls with beautifully arranged coastal art.
If you’re looking for a New England beach cottage type of feeling in your home, choose tropical prints in soft pastel colors that feature images of sand dunes, lighthouses, and breezy summer days spent building sandcastles. For that extra cottage feel, consider framing them in distressed or white-washed wood frames.
Maybe your fashion sense is a bit more Caribbean lifestyle. Think about prints with bold hues that remind you of hot Jamaican evenings when you drink rum punch and dance to reggae music. Display photos of bright island foliage and homes, palm trees which sway, and perfect beaches. Frame these with a darker wood or natural fiber frame to make the hues actually pop.
Or perhaps a relaxed Florida Keys vibe is more your style? The vibrant blues of the sky and the ocean take center stage in the pictures of piers, bay waters and boats and you can best showcase these beautiful hues by framing your images with light-colored natural wood. After that, all that’s left for you to do is to daydream and sip a frozen Margarita as you listen to Jimmy Buffet.
In the end, maybe you’re just a surfer at heart, with your mind always on that upcoming wild wave. If this sounds like you, design your ideal surf shack with colorful artwork illustrations of surfboards, antique wooden automobiles or long flowing waves. Colored or natural wooden frames can be used to display this. Or you might want to leave them hanging outside on your patio. A lot of these logos can be obtained as weather proof tin signs to use inside or outside. Then you don’t really need a frame.
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 tropical decorating. Once you decide on what type of tropical art prints you’re looking for, you’ll be one step closer to living in paradise.
