Seascapes: From the Coastline to Your Walls

When you hear the word “seascape,” what comes to mind? For many of us, seascapes conjure up images of beautiful, natural surroundings – sunny beaches, craggy coastlines, and peaceful waves crashing against rocks.

Seascapes offer some of the most beautiful ocean art. From beach scenes to coastlines, Australian seascapes often feature an abundance of ocean life and activities such as swimming, surfing, or fishing. Famous seascape painters have elevated ocean art beyond its traditional roots, creating abstract works which capture the awe-inspiring beauty of ocean scenes. While this type of artwork can evoke a feeling of tranquility when used as calming interior decor, it can also showcase vibrant colour palettes and create a sense of excitement with images depicting ocean activity. With seascape paintings available for purchase across all price ranges, you can easily find artworks to suit both your needs and budget!

Consider artwork with coastal or marine scenes as a colour palette for designing your room; shades of blues and ocean greens will bring an effortless seaside style. From coastal landforms rendered in Indigenous Australian art, to the striking coastal scenes featuring waves and surfboards that embody surf culture, seascapes have been a source of inspiration for art for centuries. Whether you prefer traditional ocean inspired wall art or modern abstract interpretations, there are countless ways to bring the beauty of the sea into your home. From coastal hues of blues and greens to deep charcoals that mimic crashing waves, ocean-inspired artwork can transform even the most minimalist space into an aquatic paradise. Plus, with wide selection of materials ranging from canvas to photography prints, you can find a piece of seascape art perfect for any interior style.

If you have a beloved seascape art piece, displaying it in your home can be both challenging and rewarding. While in theory the piece should be placed somewhere with enough space to display its full beauty, this isn’t always feasible. Pick a room with a good amount of natural light – a more airy and open room would be optimal – to set up your piece in such a way that it can properly receive the right light at different times of the day. If you want some extra flair, don’t forget to accessorize! For example, adding some throw pillows or blankets with an ocean color scheme paired with artifacts reminiscent of sea-faring could add to the ambience and make your guests feel as though they were walking into a peaceful beachside paradise.
