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. Speaking of which, I do have a lighthouse inspirational poster regarding SUCCESS

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.

Guiding Lighthouse
"The above black and white image of a lighthouse, built in 1910 in the Pacific Northwestern region of Canada, was taken at sunset, after a strenuous walk to get to it. It's prepared to light the way to your lighthouse collection."

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...
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.

If you are looking for a lighthouse on a grander scale than prints and posters, then let me show you this mural of a lighthouse in Brittany, France. This would cover a wall nicely for your beach or coastal theme.
