There’s something deeply healing about the islands of Hawaii — the rhythm of the waves, the golden hush of sunset, the warm ocean breeze moving through palm trees at dusk. It’s not just a place; it’s a feeling. At Graham Chappell Art, our mission is to bring that feeling into your space through original, island-inspired artwork that transforms your walls into windows to paradise.
If you’re looking to bring a sense of calm, color, and connection into your home, here’s how to decorate with Hawaiian art in a way that feels natural, grounded, and truly beautiful.
🌺 1. Choose Your Mood: Sunset, Moonlight, or Mermaid Magic
Each piece in our collection tells a different story. Do you want your space to feel peaceful and dreamy? Consider a moonlight beach scene, where gentle waves reflect silver light under a quiet sky. Prefer something bold and radiant? Go with a Hawaiian sunset print in fiery orange and coral hues. Looking for something mystical and feminine? Our Hawaiian mermaid art brings fantasy and beauty to life with sirens from the sea, inspired by island mythology.
Selecting the right mood is the first step to anchoring your space with the energy you want to invite.
🌊 2. Let the Art Lead the Room
A large-format print can become the soul of a space. A custom-sized Hawaiian art piece above your sofa, bed, or dining table can instantly define your design. We offer custom sizes to perfectly fit your wall — no need to adjust your vision. Whether you’re decorating a beachfront villa or a cozy apartment, a thoughtfully placed print will make your space feel curated and intentional.
Pair your print with minimalist furniture and natural textures like linen, rattan, driftwood, or woven fiber to enhance the island aesthetic without overwhelming it.
🌴 3. Create a Gallery Wall with Smaller Pieces
Don’t have a large wall or want something more dynamic? Consider a gallery wall of smaller Hawaiian art prints. Combine sunset scenes, palm silhouettes, and ocean landscapes in matching frames or mix it up with bamboo, whitewashed wood, or gold for a more eclectic feel. This style is perfect for hallways, offices, or smaller nooks that could use some tropical energy.
🐚 4. Add Aloha to Commercial Spaces
Hawaiian art isn’t just for homes — our clients have used Graham Chappell’s work in vacation rentals, spas, hotels, and even coastal cafés. The peaceful imagery of the islands creates a welcoming, tranquil vibe that guests remember. With our custom sizing and wide variety of themes, we can help tailor the art to match your brand or space perfectly.
🌞 5. Layer with Light and Nature
To make your Hawaiian art shine, place it near natural light or opposite windows to create a feeling of openness. Add potted tropical plants, woven light fixtures, or soft coastal textiles to echo the textures found in the artwork. The goal is to create a space that doesn’t just look good — but feels like a mini escape every time you walk in.
