Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a great week! I recently heard from a few readers that artwork is one of the most challenging home decor items to shop for. I definitely don’t disagree! It has to fit the size of your wall, be the right shape, match the rest of the decor in the room, you need to love the frame – and it has to fit within your budget! And let’s face it, artwork can be expensive! We’ve been in our home for just over five years now, and believe it or not I still have a few empty walls that need some love. I definitely take my time sourcing artwork for my own home – so you shouldn’t feel bad if you do too. 🙂 So if you’re wondering where to buy coastal artwork, this post is definitely for you!

Below you’ll find my top five go-to sources for artwork (and some runner’s up), as well as some of my own favorite coastal artwork that I have in my own home!

Minted

While you may think of Minted as a card and stationary shop, it’s also a fantastic place to buy artwork. You can buy canvases, prints that you can frame yourself, or already framed prints. They usually have at least five or six sizes available for each print, and they have more than a dozen high-quality frames that you can choose from (I especially love their hand carved whitewashed herringbone frame, which I selected for the Minted artwork in my own home!). The prints can also be matted, float mounted, etc. This level of customization makes it so easy to find artwork that fits your exact needs.

The framed sailboat art in the photo above is in my living room, and I also have this gorgeous framed surfer print from Minted in my guest room!

I especially recommend Minted if you love photography art. They offer some truly stunning beach photos from so many photographers, each with their own unique styles. I also love that by purchasing from Minted, you’re supporting small, independent photographers and artists.

Pottery Barn

One of my go-to’s for all home decor, I can always rely on Pottery Barn for beautiful, quality artwork and wall decor. We have cathedral ceilings in our primary bedroom so when I redecorated our bedroom, I knew I needed a large piece over our bed to ensure the correct scale. I opted for this large woven wall basket from Pottery Barn, as it was a less expensive option than framed art of this size and I love the warmth it added to our white bedroom!

Some of the options I included come in multiple sizes and frame colors. This again makes it much easier to find artwork that fits with your home’s current decor.

Also, some of their artwork can be a little higher priced than most. However, I find that those are generally pieces that will make a statement in your home and may be worth the splurge. Typically when you have a statement piece, you’ll end up spending less on artwork for the other walls in that room. You won’t want anything oversized that will detract attention from your room’s one statement piece.

One of my favorites is Pottery Barn’s “Sunlit Horizon Framed Print.” I used to have this hanging above the fireplace in our master bedroom (seen here in my Instagram post), but when we repainted the walls white, I needed a piece with a little more warmth in it.

Ballard Designs

Next on my list of where to buy coastal artwork is Ballard Designs. While Ballard Designs has a “coastal” filter on their site to help you more easily find their coastal artwork, some of these options that I love and that I included here didn’t surface using that filter. So when shopping Ballard Designs, I recommend always looking at their artwork without any filters in place.

I am in love with the “Pastel Sunset Artwork,” which I purchased for my own bedroom. I just love waking up to this beautiful, serene print every day and I love how much warmth it adds to our space!

Wayfair

Wayfair has a huge selection of artwork so it’s almost impossible to not find a piece that will work in your home. Plus, it’s typically a bit more affordable. Some of these pieces come in multiple sizes and frame colors so be sure to check for those options.

Etsy

In addition to some of the prints & framed artwork that I linked in the graphic above, Etsy also has a lot of great options for coastal artwork.

This includes very inexpensive downloadable artwork, which you can simply print and place into your own frame. This is a great option when you want a small piece of artwork for your shelves or an accent table. Many of these downloadable prints can also be printed as posters if you’re looking for a piece that’s larger. I’ve used Framebridge, pictureframes.com, and Frame It Easy to frame prints before and was very happy with the results!

For the highest quality print and best color, I recommend taking the file to Staples, Office Depot, or another local printer and having it printed on thicker paper stock vs. printing at home.

Runner’s Up – Where to Buy Coastal Artwork

• The Megan Molten Shop also has some beautiful pieces, including “A Distant Port,” which I’ve been pining over for months and months. This artwork is typically on the pricier side though!
  
  
• Serena & Lily has absolutely gorgeous artwork. However, they definitely come with a price tag which is why I’m putting them in the runner’s up category. I especially love Caroline Pacula’s exclusive Serena & Lily prints.
  
  
• One King’s Lane – a fantastic source for gorgeous photography wall art. Make sure to check out Carly Tabak’s collection in particular. I absolutely love her photography style and her beachy prints and have two of her pieces in my home! Whether you’re looking for something vibrant or muted, she has so many beautiful options!
  
  
• HomeGoods, T.J. Maxx and Homesense can also be great sources for coastal artwork but it’s definitely hit or miss. It’s worth the hunt though to find affordable artwork that you love that doesn’t break the bank!

For additional coastal artwork ideas, definitely follow my “Artwork” board on Pinterest, which I regularly add to. 

What are your go-to places for artwork and what kind of pieces do you gravitate towards? Several years ago I would have never bought an abstract piece and now I love them! It’s so interesting how tastes can evolve over the years, which is what makes decorating your own home so fun!
