Nautical artwork and decor is a great choice for a coastal homes because it instantly brings relaxation associated with being near the ocean.
If you are looking to bring some nautical influences into you home, these are our top picks from our Style My Home catalogue.
Artwork
Our canvases have several nautical themes. These include some of our boat canvases as well as our coral and shell themes.
Artwork depicting boats are a popular choice as they instantly transport us to the ocean. These artworks create a sense of continuity between the indoor and outdoor spaces of a coastal home. If the home has a view of the water, these artworks draw the eye towards the view and reinforce the connection to the ocean. But even without a water view, these artworks do the trick!
Often our customers will choose a larger piece such as 'Sail Away' as a focal point in a room or to tie together different elements of the coastal decor. And then they may opt for some smaller decorative pieces such as 'Sailing Day 1' and 'Sailing Day 2' in smaller spaces like hallways, nooks.
Similarly the coral and shell artworks are a safe and vibrant choice that will certainly install a calming coastal aura. Our 'Coral 1' and 'Coral 2' can be used by themselves or as a set to set the mood!
Decor
We have a range of nautical inspired decorative sculptures, lighting and bookends.
Barnacle Pots
Our barnacle pots are made to resemble clusters of barnacles or sea creatures attached to rocks or underwater surfaces. These decorative pieces mimic the organic, natural forms found in marine environments, with irregular, rounded shapes and rough textures. Their appearance is often reminiscent of oceanic life, evoking the coastal aesthetic of weathered, sea-worn objects. We love our Brancale pots, made to resembleThey come in 3 sizes, and can be used on a console, bookcase or as a vase. They also can be used to home your faux plants. Check out our Barnacle Pots here.
Clam Shells
Clam shells are also used to bring a coastal or marine vibe to interiors. These pieces are typically crafted to resemble a clam shell, with detailed textures mimicking the natural ridges and curves found in real shells.
Polyresin is a durable, lightweight material often used for its versatility in replicating intricate designs. These are great as a decorative utem but also as a fruit bowl, champagne bucket or even to serve food (try seafood on ice at your next party!)
Nickel-plated clams give them a sleek, modern look to be used as a decorative item. We have this in a bowl format and also a trinket box.
These clam décor items work well in a variety of spaces, particularly in homes with a coastal, Hamptons, or nautical design theme. They can be used as standalone pieces, part of table centrepieces, or even as functional items like bowls or trays. The use of nickel brings a contemporary edge, making them suitable for both modern and classic interiors.
Faux Coral
Some of our more popular pieces are faux coral. These came in several formats and sizes. Smaller pieces can rest on a book or tray, whilst larger pieces always look fantastic in a bookcase display. We also have coral and shell bookends, which are are a nice little subtle nod to nautical in any living bedroom or office space.
Sea Animals
What better and more fun way to nod to the ocean then some fun sea life sculptures or bookends. Our customers love our whale bookends particularly for childrens bedrooms. We also have a fun range of brass and silver sea animals and mermaids. They include crabs, turtles and of course the ever polular mermaid. Our customers love using these character filled pieces throughout the home or ven in bathrooms.
Lighting
We also have some lovely nautical inspired lamps. Shop our lamps here.
Injecting some nautical pieces into your home is a great choice for a coastal home because it adds to the overall theme, creates a sense of relaxation and leisure, and reinforces the connection to the ocean that is so important in coastal living.
