Dreaming of a home that feels like a seaside escape? Whether you live near the coast or just wish you did, coastal wall art can instantly bring that airy, tranquil feeling into your space.
At Hinge Gallery, we specialize in nautical and sea creature-inspired art prints that blend vintage charm with natural beauty. Here’s how to style your home with coastal wall art — no sand required.
1. Start with a Natural Palette
Coastal decor isn’t about kitsch or clutter. It's about light, breezy colors: soft whites, ocean blues, sandy neutrals, and driftwood tones. Choose wall art with subtle watercolor tones, sea greens, and weathered textures to evoke a calm and natural feel.
Try This: Our Mount Rainier Sunrise Art Print pairs perfectly with light wood frames and linen textiles.
2. Use a Statement Piece to Anchor the Room
A large framed art print can set the tone for the entire space. Over a couch, above a bed, or in a hallway — a bold nautical piece gives structure to the design while drawing the eye.
Featured Print: The Kraken vs. Tall Ship illustration brings vintage drama with hand-drawn detail that tells a story.
3. Mix and Match Smaller Prints for a Gallery Wall
Group smaller prints to create a coastal-themed gallery wall. Stick to a consistent frame style (like natural wood or black) and mix imagery like hermit crabs, sea snakes, conch shells, and sailing ships for visual interest.
Tip: Use 8x10 or 11x17 sizes for flexibility and easy mixing.
4. Add Texture and Layers
Let your wall art inspire your styling. Complement your prints with textures like jute rugs, woven baskets, sea glass vases, and linen cushions. This creates a cohesive coastal vibe without feeling too literal.
5. Lean into the Myth and Magic of the Sea
Coastal design doesn’t have to be predictable. From sea monsters to mythical gods like Triton, you can bring in the mystery of the deep to add character and conversation.

Whether you’re styling a beach house or adding ocean energy to a city apartment, Hinge Gallery’s art prints are designed to bring that coastal calm — and a touch of wild sea — into your home.
