subject: Accent The Walls In Your Coastal Home With Coastal Theme Artwork [print this page] 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 beach print.
If you prefer a New England beach cottage design for your home, pick tropical art with mild pastel hues that display drawings of sand dunes, lighthouses, and windy summer days spent making sandcastles. To accent these pieces, good choices for framing are distressed or white-washed wooden frames.
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.
