Artwork for Your Beach Walls

Coastal decor artwork has come a long way from its original start as more and more artists and designers are looking to the beach for inspiration.

A few years ago, artwork for your seaside haven was limited to a ship charting its course through rough waters or a few sandpiper birds scurrying along the surf. Now our beach decor decorating choices have expanded to include contemporary and original takes on coastal decor artwork.

We chose these stunning shell studies done on canvas with a simple black background for their dramatic effect against our walls.

There are areas in your beach space where you may want a different way to decorate your coastal walls. Our online store http://www.bytheseadecor.com/ proudly carries many of the original wood plaques offered by the talented artist, Suzanne Nicoll. The colorful set of three surfboards look great in my son's room, sans shark bite and all! Standing a substantial 42" tall, this room does not need much more decorating attention.

My favorite new addition is the retro woman diver available in a variety of beach colors. I chose the aqua one (oh, what a surprise!) and she is going to find a place in my newly renovated coastal kitchen.

I am a big fan of mixing things up in decorating. No "themes" . . . simply pieces that are different but compliment each other.

Have fun dressing those coastal walls!
