Choosing the perfect coastal print is all about finding what speaks to you. Whether it’s a calming beachscape for your bedroom, a vibrant seascape for your living room, or a thoughtful gift for an ocean lover, the right print will bring warmth, character, and a touch of wanderlust into your space.
But with so many options out there, how do you choose? No worries, this guide will help you find the perfect coastal print that fits your style, space, and vibe.
But with so many options out there, how do you choose? No worries, this guide will help you find the perfect coastal print that fits your style, space, and vibe.
First, Consider Your Space
Let’s talk logistics. Size matters (at least when it comes to wall art). Here’s a cheat sheet:
- Go big or go home (24”x36” and up): If you want a showstopper above your couch, bed, or dining table, this is your pick.
- Mid-sized charm (16”x20” or 18”x24”): Perfect for entryways, offices, or adding to an existing gallery wall.
- Small but mighty (8”x10” or 11”x14”): Great for bookshelves, nightstands, or filling in that awkward empty spot you just noticed.
Gallery wall magic: Mix and match sizes to create a dreamy coastal collection.
💡 Pro Tip: Not sure about size? Use painter’s tape to outline different dimensions on your wall.
Pick the Right Color Palette
Your coastal print should complement your existing decor. Here’s how to choose:
-
Soft blues, sandy neutrals, and whites → Calm and serene (great for bedrooms or spa-like bathrooms).
-
Warm golden tones and sunlit beaches → Cozy and inviting (hello, dreamy living room!).
-
Deep navy, stormy grays, and bold contrast → Dramatic and striking (perfect for modern or moody interiors).
💡 Pro Tip: If your home is all about light and airy vibes, go for a minimalist beach scene with soft pastels. If you love bold decor, an intense wave crashing against the shore will make a statement.
Choose a Print That Will Last (Because Quality Matters)
Not all prints are created equal. If you are investing in art, you want something that stands the test of time, not something that fades faster than a summer tan.
That’s why all my fine art photography prints are professionally printed on archival paper, designed to maintain their stunning color and detail for decades.
Available in Two Options:
✔ Unframed Prints: Perfect if you love choosing your own frame or want to swap out art seasonally.
✔ Framed Prints: Professionally framed with premium materials, ready to hang the moment it arrives.
No cheap poster paper here - just rich, high-quality prints that make a statement.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re gifting a print, a framed option makes for an elegant, ready-to-hang present.
Find Your Style (What’s Your Coastal Personality?)
Every coastal print tells a story. The question is, which one speaks your language?
-
Minimalist Seascapes → Think soft skies, open beaches, and dreamy horizons. Perfect for a clean, modern aesthetic.
- Dramatic Ocean Waves → Powerful and energizing, these prints make a statement. Ideal for bold decor lovers.
-
Classic Coastal Scenes → Lighthouses, boats, and piers for that timeless, nostalgic feel.
-
Abstract & Aerial Views → Unique perspectives and textures for a modern, artsy touch.
💡 Pro Tip: If your space is all neutrals, a bold ocean print can add contrast. If you already have vibrant decor, go for a soft, airy seascape for balance.
Where (and How) to Display Your Coastal Print
Now that you’ve picked the one, let’s talk placement:
-
Above a Couch or Bed? → One large statement piece or a pair of medium-sized prints.
-
Hallway or Entryway? → A series of smaller prints creates a curated look.
- Over a Fireplace? → Go for a panoramic seascape to enhance the focal point.
- Bathroom or Kitchen? → Framed prints with protective glass work best in humid areas.
Framing Matters!
-
White frames → Light, airy, and effortlessly coastal.
-
Natural wood frames → Adds warmth and an organic feel.
-
Black frames → Bold and sophisticated for a modern edge.
💡 Pro Tip: When in doubt, lean prints against the wall before committing. Sometimes, art looks even better casually styled on a shelf!
