Fine Cornish art that connects you to the ocean
When we think of beachfront coastal living we think of light, bright spaces with all hues of summer, from turquoise blues to emerald greens. We think of laid-back living, slowing down and a greater sense of nature. We think of long sandy beaches, with cliff-back dunes and fishing villages full to the brim of brightly painted cottages with weathered finishes.
At Shop Cornish, our makers and artists are inspired by the lifestyle that Cornwall has allowed them and their creations can transform your home into a coastal haven. We should all decorate our home with things that we love and make us happy, be that a one-off piece of Cornish art or a bucket load of beach-finds treasure!
Want to get some coastal living into your home? Here are Cornish homewares ideas to get the beach-house look in your home.
For your bathroom
Mel at Alchemy Tiles is a ceramic tile artist based on the Helford River in Cornwall. Mel’s work portrays the wild landscapes that surround her. The ocean collection features seahorses, turtles and fish on bathroom accessories such as soap and trinket dishes. Alongside these fabulous homewares, you can also work with Mel to create one-off handmade tiles that will be unique to you and your home.
Feature wall
You’ve painted your feature wall with a rich coastal white but now you need a statement piece of coastal Cornish art to set it off. A good place to start is with Cornish artist Hannah (HLS Designer). Hannah’s main inspiration is the ocean and its changing temperaments, some days dramatic, some days tranquil. If you’re a fan of the ocean and want to bring it into your home, take a look at Hannah’s Ocean art print collection which features fish shoals and ocean waves in all their existence.
The scent of the sea
Scented candles are a lovely way to bring a little escapism to your home, we love the seaweed and juniper candles from the Seabound Candle Company. All their candles are lovingly handcrafted from soy wax and only use sustainably sourced ingredients.
Dining accessories
Impress your dinner party guests with some vibrant nautical placemats from Cornish Magpie. Featuring sea creatures from the deep these brilliant hard wearing wipe clean mats have a melamine coating and cork backing.

Bring the wild Cornish seas into your home with the Godrevy Lighthouse Collection from Gullz R Loud. Choose from wall canvases, lampshades, cushions and coasters all featuring the surf engulfed iconic Godrevy lighthouse.
