What I love about coastal decor is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. You can keep it really simple with a light color palette and very classic patterns.
I’ve rounded up some of my absolute favorite coastal wall decor ideas for a simple, coastal wall display that interior designers would approve of.
Stylish Wall Art Ideas
Wall art is probably the first thing most people think of. It’s a great place to start! One of the best ways to bring a coastal feel into your living room is with art. Coastal wall art ideas include coral prints, beach art, or even abstract art in soft blues and sandy beiges.
The soft color schemes set the tone for the space with a laid-back beach vibe. If you’re decorating a beach house or a lake house, art is a great way to make a focal point without having to do a full makeover.
I recommend using a few wall art pieces with a variety of other items to create a great contrast throughout the home.
DIY Intaglio Wall Art
One of my very first DIY projects ever was these easy framed intaglio art prints. Even a true beginner DIY-er (like me!) can put these together.
I recently found dog intaglios, so of course, I had to recreate this DIY.
If you use peel and stick wallpaper samples, you can get the gorgeous background for the intaglios without spending a ton.
Watch The Tutorial:
Watch me put together this piece of wall art in just a few minutes! It truly couldn’t be a more beginner friendly project.
Typically, I’m more of a buy it, not DIY it type of gal, so here are my other top choices for easy wall art ideas!
This wall art is some of the best for visual interest. They’ll match almost any living room paint color, and blend well with the rest of your space.
Bright Lighting For Your Walls
Wall lights are a great way to bring in some coastal style while also being so practical! Lighting is another easy place to add a coastal touch. The best part? Wall sconces are great for functionality, and they also act as decorative accents.
For a coastal theme, anything with blue, white, or gold works great. Lighting works especially well in spaces without much natural light.

Woven sconces are my personal favorite. But even a simple white fixtures add a fantastic element of decor to your walls. Plus, if you’re lacking natural light, they really help a room feel warm and inviting!
Bathroom designers, listen up! This wall light has been the best purchase! It doesn’t scream beach decor and looks timeless enough for any coastal home.
Pretty Wall Decorative Mirrors
Mirrors are perfect for a coastal look. Picking a decorative one is key! Mirrors are an excellent way to open up a room and make it feel bigger, which is why they’re perfect in a coastal home.
A round mirror looks great in a living space such as an entryway, while anything scalloped would fit right in with other coastal decor.
Mirrors can also add a personal touch when styled with other decorative accents like rattan accents or small coastal art pieces around them.
It’s an easy way to decorate a wall without defaulting to wall art!
Other Little Coastal Wall Accents
Don’t forget about the extras. Wall shelving or decorative figures are perfect for adding style to your walls without large art or mirrors.
These can be a focal point or just a pretty addition to gallery walls in a beach cottage.
Natural textures or neutral colors always work well. These little accents can be paired beside a framed piece of wall art or a mirror. Use them in a bedroom, kitchen & bathroom, or beyond.
Conclusion
Coastal wall decor doesn’t have to be so hard! It’s not just wall art that can make a difference. Wall mirrors, lights, and shelves can do the trick just as well.
Choose a few pieces you really love, and you’ll end up with a space that feels relaxing and beautiful.
