      Coastal wall art in long, narrow formats - framed canvas prints that bring the calm of the shoreline to slim and wide wall spaces alike. The sea is a natural fit for a panoramic canvas: a long horizontal format gives the horizon room to run, and the effect in a room is genuinely restful.

      Inside are quiet beach scenes and rolling waves, misty estuaries, dune grasses and soft nautical studies, in a palette of sand, chalk, sea green and deep blue. Wide horizontal pieces suit the wall above a sofa or bed, while tall vertical prints work well in hallways and coastal-inspired bedrooms.

      Every piece is made to order in a range of sizes, as a stretched canvas or in a floating or classic frame in black, white, oak, walnut or gold, and arrives ready to hang.

      Coastal wall art - frequently asked questions

      Sizing, hanging height and the questions we are asked most.

      What size coastal wall art works above a sofa or bed?

      20"x60" (50x150cm) or 30"x60" (75x150cm) above a three-seater sofa or a king bed, and 16"x48" (40x120cm) or 20"x40" (50x100cm) above a two-seater or a double. Coastal scenes gain from width more than almost any other subject - the horizon needs room to run - so if you are choosing between two sizes on a wide wall, take the larger.

      Does coastal wall art only suit a seaside home?

      No. Coastal work reads as calm rather than as themed, particularly in the muted end of the palette - chalk, sand, sea green and soft grey. It is the nautical motifs, not the sea itself, that make a room look holiday-let. A misty estuary or a plain horizon sits perfectly well in an inland city flat.

      What colours does coastal wall art come in?

      Mostly sand, chalk, sea green, soft grey and deep blue - the natural palette of a shoreline. Paler pieces keep a room feeling open and airy; deeper blues and greys give a wall more weight and work better against white walls or in a north-facing room that needs contrast rather than more light.

      Where does coastal art work in a house?

      Bedrooms and bathrooms first - the calm palette suits both - then above a sofa in a living room where you want the space to feel more open. It also works unusually well in a hallway, where a long horizontal seascape gives a windowless space an implied view. Keep the more literal beach scenes out of a formal dining room.

      Is canvas suitable for a bathroom?

      In a well-ventilated bathroom with an extractor fan, yes - keep it off the wall directly beside the shower or bath, where it will take repeated direct steam. In a small windowless bathroom without ventilation, a canvas is not the best choice for a wall that gets wet.
