Brighten a home with lighthouse art decor
Home decor is about what we like, but sometimes it goes beyond that. Sometimes it is about what we want a room to represent, so we add finishing touches to confirm that message. I believe lighthouses are iconic for stating a message in our art. Here's one subtle message I think this art is capable of conveying, "Straighten your position or you'll run into trouble!" Wouldn't it be nice if we had a bright light, the size of a lighthouse beam, to remind us that it's a good idea to check whether we're still on course or not. Speaking of guidance and inspiration, check out the section of inspirational posters created with wonderful lighthouse photography and quotes. Or, you could look at lighthouse art decor in another way. How about seeing lighthouse artwork as collector items? See the Lighthouse Folk Art section for the reason why...

"Live in rooms full of light."
Cornelius Celsus Quote
If you're looking for artwork that represents the concept of a lighthouse to accentuate your home, then the following pieces will give you an idea of your choices. I have a soft spot, literally, for artist William Turner's, 'Eddystone Lighthouse off Plymouth' as it 'softly' shows the guiding light unfolding in the distance. Must have been a beautiful sight for a captain to see such a sight while lost a sea.

Folk art is a genre of art that reflects traditional values within a society. Well, it doesn't get anymore perfect than to apply this concept to lighthouse art. With technology flowing like ocean waves into maritime life, the need for these stoic structures has become unnecessary. What a shame. So, it is a good thing that the following fine artists have captured, what could be not only a lost subject, therefore a lost art, but also a lost concept when a beacon of light was the tradition for saving valuable lives of those at sea.

You know, when we leave home and head out into this great big world, it is so comforting to know that there is a light that keeps on shining no matter how rough the seas get—we just have to remember to look for it. What a wonderful way to add inspiration to a kid's room or dorm wall by letting them know, metaphorically, that you will be that beacon of light for them when they feel like things could come crashing around them...
All too often our perspective of a lighthouse is as an outsider, so that's why I particularity like artist Todd Gipstein's photographic print because it is from the perspective of a lighthouse keeper looking outward. Could you just imagine standing next to that magnificent lens and seeing the ocean from way up there? Truly an image taken with a lens from a different angle.

If you want your lighthouse decor to contain spectacular art, then photographers Guillaume Plisson's or Jean Guichard's photographic images below are what you're looking for to hang on your walls. To see how intense the sea is capable of being just confirms the important role a lighthouse played in the life of a ship and it's crew members. Not all his images are in this section, more are under Black and White Lighthouse Art.

It was a dark and stormy night...Stephen Alvarez's image definitely puts a mysterious spin to the inside of Currituck Beach Light, which is a lighthouse located on the Outer Banks of Corolla, I believe. If you didn't know better, you would wonder if the man was ascending the stairs of a gothic castle towards a nightmare instead of heading towards the 'light'... What an interesting mood he captured from the usual interiors of most lighthouse photographs.

Guess this would be the section where you can actually see lighthouses doing their job. Lighthouse artists John Lund, Steve Bloom, and Dennis James Jonathon Doering really capture the point of a lighthouse, or should we call these stoic structures, heros, because it's only a hero that will stand strong and brave torrential rains, lightening strikes, and the pitch black darkness in order to save a soul.

This is the hour that nature turns her lights out and the lighthouse keeper's turn theirs on...

If you are looking for lighthouse art decor on a grander scale than a print, then let the following section of lighthouse wall murals bring you to your desires. These cover a home or office wall nicely for a beach or coastal decor theme as well.
