Introducing beach decor to your home is an easy way to create an organic and warm environment, and it need not be a daunting process. While bigger changes such as painting in neutral colours and bringing in furniture made with natural fibres can enhance the theme, there are some easier and more budget-conscious ways to achieve it, such as wall art and decorations. 

Prints of coastal areas, flora, and fauna can bring the outside in and create a harmonious and soothing aesthetic without the need for larger-scale changes to your home. Introducing elements such as seashells and other naturally occurring objects can also give a space an organic feel without much expense.

What is modern coastal interior design?

Introducing modern decor inspired by the tropics is a great way to bring a fresh and free feeling to any space. Natural colours, especially when paired with neutrals, can open up a room and create a calming and relaxed atmosphere. On top of that, natural fibres can be used for comfortable furniture and accessories while adding to the organic style.

You can bring the outside into your house with small details, such as the artwork you place on your walls. Prints of Australian beaches or somewhere more exotic, like the Amalfi Coast, Santorini, or the Greek Islands, can be an easy way to achieve a coastal aesthetic without leaving your home.

What is contemporary coastal style?

Contemporary coastal style is more than just placing a model ship and a few seashells on a shelf. Instead, modern coastal interior design is sleek and uncluttered while still retaining comfort. The use of neutral tones and colours of the coast can make any space fresh and light. Natural fibres and outdoor elements can make the room more comfortable and bring a rustic feel into your living areas.

Simple substitutions, like trading in metal furniture for wooden, can create a space that feels more organic while retaining a contemporary style. Trading in busy or clunky artwork for natural prints can also brighten up a space and make it much more inviting.

Beach themed Rooms 

We use our rooms differently, and it’s easy to reflect that in our decor. For example, in a bedroom, you may wish to give the room a more relaxing and toned down vibe, whereas, in a lounge or family room, you can create a more dynamic and energetic feel for the room.

Beach themes can do both and, as such, are a great option for the whole house. From using vivid and bright coastal wall art in a high energy environment to muted tones in a more sedate setting, you can have a continuous theme throughout the house while also retaining some individuality for the different spaces in your home.

Living Room

Our living areas are the places we connect with each other and come together as a family; they are the places we play in. To reflect that, The Print Emporium has a range of living room wall art that celebrates natural landscapes, adding vibrancy to your space while enabling you to establish a beach themed room. 

From the vivid blues of the ocean and sea pools to splashes of colour in tropical and surfing scenes, there is a poster here to compliment your theme and bring a focal point to your space.

Master Bedroom

The Print Emporium has an excellent collection of beach themed prints in more muted tones to turn your bedroom into a relaxing haven. 

Soft and soothing colours, as found in nature, come through beautifully in these prints. Through a subtle lens, Australian beaches, palm trees and the Bondi Icebergs are brought to life in pastel tones. The organic vibe of our bedroom wall art engenders a calm atmosphere, so you can feel as relaxed as falling asleep at the beach.

Kids Bedroom

It can be difficult to maintain a house-wide style while also catering to children’s preferences in their bedrooms, but there are ways to make it easier. A child’s space can become anything from a pirate ship to a calming lagoon in their beach themed bedroom. Photography of native animals can add to this theme and encourage a restful area for children. They can also engage children during the daytime, helping them learn about the animals which inhabit their local areas.

Decorating with coastal wall art

Art is a very useful and beautiful way to tie in a theme in any house while also allowing us to wear our passions on our walls. Whether you prefer the vibrant blues of the ocean and tidal pools or the more muted colours of the sand, there is a way to match your love for the coast with your decor. 

The Print Emporium’s range of coastal beach prints is sure to have the poster you’re looking for to consolidate your theme and provide beautiful focal points to your spaces.

Final tips for pairing decor with wall art

Whether you’re looking to create a comprehensive beach theme with all your decor or subtly bring the ocean into your home, there are many ways to compliment your wall art. For a more comprehensive look, neutral coloured walls can create an organic feel in any space, adding a sense of comfort and serenity. Wooden finishes give us a feeling of bringing the outside in while subtle touches such as seashells, sand bottles, and salt lamps can give a room a natural aura without breaking the budget. Accessories in canvas or cotton can also add to an overall organic and soothing environment.
