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.

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.
