How to Choose the Perfect Coastal Print for Your Living Room
Your living room is the heart of your home – a space to relax, entertain, and make cherished memories. The right coastal wall art can transform your living space, adding character, personality, and that serene beach vibe we all adore.
But how do you find the perfect coastal artwork to complement your living room décor? This guide will walk you through simple tips and ideas to help you style your space with stunning coastal prints from Julia Contacessi’s Art Collection.
1. Identify Your Living Room’s Focal Point
When choosing coastal wall art, start by identifying your living room's focal point. This could be your sofa, a fireplace, or even a large window overlooking the garden.
If your sofa is the focal point, a large coastal print or a curated gallery wall of coastal artwork can create an impactful statement. Over a fireplace, a single striking piece or a set of coastal prints adds balance and elegance to your space.
And if you love your TV setup, why not style it with art? Add a few smaller prints to one side to bring the ocean's tranquility indoors. Learn more about the perfect coastal print gifts for beach lovers at Julia Contacessi’s website.
2. Create the Atmosphere You Desire
Think about the atmosphere you want to evoke in your living room. Whether you’re looking for a calming, energizing, or cozy environment, the right coastal wall art can set the tone.
-
Calming Coastal Prints
Opt for soft blues, sandy neutrals, and serene seascapes. These prints from our Art Gallery work wonderfully in creating a relaxing and soothing ambiance. -
Energizing Artwork
For a more vibrant feel, choose coastal artwork featuring bold waves, sunny beach scenes, or vivid coastal sunsets. These pieces add energy and brighten up your space. -
Welcoming and Comforting Art
Warm, inviting coastal prints, like scenes of sandy beach settings or tranquil dunes, can make your living room feel like a peaceful retreat.
3. Consider the Size of Your Artwork
Size matters when selecting coastal wall art. A large print above your sofa creates a clean and confident look, while a series of smaller coastal prints can add character and charm.
For a balanced approach, try three medium-sized pieces – one as the central focus with two on either side. This works beautifully for creating symmetry and visual interest.
Pro Tip: Leave enough space around your artwork to let it breathe. Aim for 20cm above your sofa and 2–4 inches between prints for a cohesive look.
4. Coordinate Colors with Your Living Room Décor
The colors in your coastal artwork should harmonize with your existing living room palette. Neutral or pastel prints blend seamlessly, while pops of blue or turquoise can lift a muted décor.
If you’re feeling bold, choose coastal wall art with contrasting shades to make a statement. A vibrant beach sunset or deep ocean waves from our collection of art can become a stunning focal point.
5. Choose Artwork You Love
At the end of the day, your coastal prints should reflect your personal style and bring you joy. Whether it’s your favorite beach or an abstract wave, choose something that resonates with you.
Remember, your home should tell your story. Find art that speaks to your heart and complements your overall home styling. Explore the diverse collection of coastal prints of our Art Gallery to find the perfect piece for your living room.
Final Tips for Styling Coastal Wall Art
- Hang your artwork 15–20cm above furniture for the best visual connection.
- When grouping prints, treat them as one piece for cohesive placement.
- Play with spacing to create a balanced gallery wall – lay out your prints on the floor first to test arrangements.
