Our Top 10 Wall Art Picks for an Easy, Breezy Summer Home
With an extremely long winter that morphed into a slowly dawning Spring behind us, we hope you're all getting out and embracing life to the fullest! Summer, so far, shows excellent promise on so many levels for the lot of us.
Longer, warmer days, bookended by shorter nights abuzz with songs of peepers, crickets, and katydids, has us motivated to travel, spend long days at the beach and finally tackle all of the DIY and home decor projects we've cast aside out of necessity.
Now that you're excited to kick your social life into high gear with the five soirees you've just planned for the next two months, you must get your home Summer and guest-ready. One minor suggestion...please start by putting away that heavy chenille and wool throw from the Winter. It's 90 degrees, for goodness sakes!
After you've completed that small yet significant task, get the pool and grill cleaned and find some wall decor to match the harmonious atmosphere outside. We've personally picked and styled ten canvas prints to help get you motivated to be creative.
When the sun sets and the intense heat and crowds of the day wane, a warm, calm swimming pool becomes ever more desirable. Zhu-Waiting, an infinity pool under a rose-infused sky on canvas, defines Summer with one look. Our optimal choice is to style in a room with neutral tones by a sliding glass door.
If you have free time, a daily picnic in the Summer, either by yourself or with someone, can free the mind and soul of excess stress. Alja Horvat's paints an afternoon frolic so enjoyable it carried over into the evening joined by the moon and stars. Clearly, this image is both attractive and versatile. Given its idyllic qualities, a wall by the bathtub seems like the most suitable location.
Placing abstract decor on a kitchen wall is not always the first location we would consider. In our humble opinion, a piece like Four Suns Quartered, hued in a 1970s Summer citrus palette, could turn your humdrum kitchen into a set from one of your favorite cooking shows.
In this classic piece of American Realism by the famed Edward Hopper, we become the audience to two lovebirds nervously chatting on a warm Summer Evening, perhaps after a 4th of July festivity, under the porch lights. Set sometime in the 1960s, you can feel the innocence of the time. We chose this piece for nostalgia and relatability.
Until the late 1930s, black and white photography was the standard in the communication of still moments. Then in the late 1930s, color film became the preferred trend. From an artistic approach, black and white photos divulge elements of a scene like the accentuation of light and shadows mixed with minute details often overlooked in color photos. As seen above, in Sandy Beach Castles, the seafoam looks like meringue rolling towards mystical sand structures.
When placed strategically in a room, canvas print Summer Reading List can give the illusion of having an open window where one does not exist. The level of realism in this image allows the onlooker to intimately engage in the scene. We can feel and smell the cool salty breeze blowing in through the window as our minds wake up excited to pout through the pages of a book.
How does an image of pocket watches dangling from a gray sky relate to Summer? The correlation, you've probably guessed, is time. Over the last year, we had to put our parties and travel arrangement on hold for what seemed like an eternity. Now that we're in a reprieve let's not waste one more minute debating whether to take a beach vacation. Hang Travel In Time on your dining room wall for motivation. The warm season is the ideal time to pick up and go.
Sporting event posters can make engaging decor when matched with other exciting and chic furnishings. Diving, a vintage Russian diving announcement in blue and yellow with red and white lettering, will indeed trigger questions and conversation. Adorn your library wall with this favorite Summer pastime.
We get immense pleasure viewing Ashvin Harrison's wall decor and his use of black and white illustrations and blended bold, vibrant color. A young girl soaks in carefree summer days dressed in a yellow halter and a flowing skirt bright as a ripe orange while touring around on her bike. Long bike rides in the early morning are the hallmark activity of the Summer months. Style Summer Breeze Bicycle on a child's desk leaning against or hanging on a nearby wall.
A daringly yellow sun bursts in full saturated color from a cotton candy purple sky with floating planetoids and stars reflecting off a tranquil body of water. Yes, we agree this piece would look lovely in a minimally decorated room. Still, given the psychedelic flair of Pop Art Sunrise 1218, we say more is more in this case, like, say, a teen's bedroom.
There is something about Summer that makes us fall in love with the world's natural gifts over and over again. The addition of beautiful art just enhances the enjoyment and appreciation of our surroundings.
