Coastal Wall Decor Ideas
Coastal Wall Decor Ideas for that beachy themed look can be realized with a Lloyd Dobson Artist original oil painting. No matter what kind of day a person has had, walking into a room with a coastal tropical wall decor will most definitely make the person’s day better. This is why decorating a room with a tropical twist is such a good idea.
What makes it an even better idea is the cost at which this redecorating can be accomplished with affordable oil paintings or digital products by Lloyd Dobson Artist. Anyone can find the prices that are right for him or her.
Beginning with the walls, there are several options an individual can choose between to create the tropical feel of their dreams. As an example, with wall hangings, tapestries, and paintings, the mood and color scheme will be set creating a relaxing fall-asleep-on-the-beach feel or energizing seize-the-day atmosphere.
Lloyd Dobson Artist has available shower curtains, throw pillows, duvet covers, metal prints, prints and giclee prints to enhance your decorating coastal tropical beach themed decorating. Many of these great pieces have themes of amazing island landscapes with silhouetted palm trees. Who can feel stressed with that kind of relaxation?
Many people think that galleries for original art and wall decor is the best place to shop for these sorts of decorations, but the galleries are usually expensive because the gallery must make a profit above the artist’s price. Buying direct from the artist will certainly save you money and be easy on your budget.
Follow this simple step-by-step guide to create a beautiful coastal tropical home that reflects your taste and personality:
1) Choose your design style:
Do it properly! Spend time researching the styles that you like and find out what they are categorized as. This will help you to search for the decorations that create the complete package for your rooms.
2) Choose your color pallet:
Just because your home is by the coast does not mean that you are limited to white, blues and pastel shades. However, do consider the fact that a light and airy space with maximize the benefits of living in such a location.
3) Creating a relaxed and laid back atmosphere:
Chose furniture that is practical as well as design driven; for example a comfortable bed or sofa, ensure you have enough storage for your needs and think about temperature and protection from the elements for both the heat and the cold. Use fireplaces, candles and strategic lighting to stimulate the senses. Think about the smells and sounds you associate with the atmosphere you are trying to generate as well as the touch and sight.
4) Bring the outside in.
Especially if you have a good view from your windows, you need to bring as much of it into the home as possible to maximise the importance you give to living in such a location. After all it is often this element that dictates the worth of a coastal property, so make sure you get your monies worth!
So whatever your preferred design style, follow these simple principles and you can create the light, airy, relaxed ambience of a coastal home whilst also injecting your personality.
Once the wall is painted and there are wall decor hangings or paintings of the coastal tropical environment you desire, the lighting should be discussed. Lighting will help to work with the paint and decorations in making the right relaxation feel. The lighting could be aimed to represent sunset, sunrise, midday, or midnight.
People too often forget that they have the option of coastal tropical decor when they go to redecorate a room. Bringing the tropics into the living room, bathroom, guestroom or bedroom will really accentuate feelings of relaxation.
Put coastal tropical wall decor on the list of things to do and then simply go to Lloyd Dobson Artist website and fulfill your dreams. With a very affordable cost an individual can go home to a coastal tropical vacation scene.

A super way to spend Sunday morning! Have a tasty breakfast at one of the many restaurant choices in the village. Then visit the market before heading to the beach.
The market is located in the parking lot of the Davidson’s Pharmacy at the 5100 block of Ocean Blvd. The market includes many vendors such as fresh fruits and veggies by Yum Yum Tree, Fouta Spa towels, hand made pottery, Vinsoy hand made candles by Kim Johnson.

Another favorite is The Cottage. The staff are friendly, you feel like they could be family. They have a couple of nice sitting options, I.e. front porch to watch the people walking by, inside if it’s too hot and the inner courtyard which has some great island music. The food is above average with some Asian and other influences. Great spot to meet folks.
If late night is your thing then The Beach Club is the place to go for late night dancing and socializing.
