The Art of Decorating with Coastal Prints

How to Bring the Calm of the Coast into Your Home

There’s something undeniably soothing about the Australian coastline—the salt in the air, the soft light bouncing off the water, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean. At Nostalgia 35, we believe you shouldn’t have to wait for your next holiday to feel that sense of calm. With carefully curated coastal wall art, you can bring the beauty of Australia’s beaches into your home, every day.

Why Coastal Prints?

Coastal wall art is more than just décor—it evokes a lifestyle. Whether it’s a quiet headland, a rolling surf break, or a hazy golden hour on the sand, each piece connects you to the simplicity and tranquillity of coastal living. Our 35mm film photography adds a layer of warmth and nostalgia that digital simply can’t replicate.

Styling Tips: Making Coastal Prints Work in Your Space

1. Start with a Focal Point

Pick one large hero print—like our Ocean Road or Norries Cove—and build your room around it. This draws the eye and anchors the space with natural tones and texture.

2. Go Neutral & Natural

Coastal design is all about light, air, and softness. Think neutral walls, natural fibres, and raw materials like rattan, linen, and timber. Our sustainably crafted timber frames complement this aesthetic perfectly.

3. Embrace Negative Space

Let your prints breathe. Avoid crowding your walls—coastal styling thrives on simplicity. A few thoughtfully chosen prints will always speak louder than a cluttered gallery.

4. Think in Pairs or Triptychs

Create visual harmony by grouping similar prints together. For example, pairing two ocean-focused artworks in A3 size or forming a triptych above a lounge or bed can elevate the entire room.

5. Reflect Your Personal Connection

Our photography is captured on Australia’s iconic coastlines—from Byron Bay to Cabarita Beach. Choose prints that reflect your own memories, travels, or dream destinations.
