Coastal wall art — Compare compositions

Sea and coastal designs are easy to compare through their horizons. Open water, a stretch of beach and a rocky shoreline divide foreground and distance differently and guide the eye in different ways.

Direction and composition

Follow the eye’s path through the image. A diagonal, central shape or grouping to one side may determine its structure. Choose an arrangement with enough space to work beside your furniture.

Consider whether you mainly want open water, the shape of the coast or a detail along the beach.
