Pastel Palms by the Sea Art Print

Pastel Palms by the Sea Art PrintBack in the 1980s, this little lifeguard tower belonged to another kind of home Southern California, sun bleached and unhurried. Two tall palms lean over it, and the whole scene sits under a soft, washed sky. On the wall, it cools a room down. The pale blues and sandy tones bring the easy feeling of a quiet beach morning, without going themed or kitsch. It works well in a bright bedroom, a bathroom with good natural light, a coastal hallway, or above

slightly lower for a kid's bedroom

deep green walls turn it into a feature

terracotta pots and an old wooden chair

Frame it to enhance the playful theme

Put it up and a quiet room gains a personality — warm orange

The classical portrait does the heavy lifting and the slogan does the talking — together they take a room from polite to personality

A pale wall stops feeling under-dressed

a small console or in a reading corner where it can be seen up close

finished with a London Underground travel banner

The swan reads first

deep red and dark green hit the wall like a poster from a Pop Art show

true blues
