Hospitality and commercial interiors
Surfboard wall art for hotels, restaurants, bars and luxury spaces
A surfboard is one of the few art objects that is sculpture, photograph and story at once. Surfboard Trading Co. designer and limited-edition pieces are built on fully functional surfboards, so they bring real surf craftsmanship to a lobby, dining room or bar wall.
Hotel lobbies and reception walls
A lobby wall has to say where you are before anyone speaks. A long horizontal board above a reception desk or behind a seating group reads as a single piece of art and sets a coastal tone without theme-park props.
Designer prints in blue, seagrass and palm patterns pair naturally with stone, walnut and brass.
Restaurants and dining rooms
In a dining room, a vertical board fits the narrow wall between windows or beside a banquette, and draws the eye up without competing with the tables.
Keep the board clear of table height and traffic so it reads as art, not as something to bump into.
Cocktail bars and lounges
Dark lacquered or paneled walls make colorful surfboard art glow, especially with a slim picture light above. A horizontal board over a banquette gives a back-bar wall a focal point at eye level for seated guests.
Spas, wellness rooms and quiet lounges
Soft, organic patterns such as The Seagrass Print suit plaster walls and low, calm lighting. A single horizontal board above a daybed is enough.
Elevator lobbies, corridors and guest suites
A tall vertical board across from the elevators gives every floor a landmark. In a guest suite, a horizontal board centered above the headboard replaces a standard framed print.
Groups of boards: pairs, trios and quiver walls
More than one board turns a wall into an installation. A row of three vertical boards above a reception desk, two horizontal boards stacked in a dining room, or a matched pair beside a fireplace all read as one deliberate piece.
Keep the boards level and evenly spaced, leave a clear gap between them, and give every board its own wall rack.
Why surfboards work as commercial art
Every piece is a real, fully functional surfboard, which makes it a conversation starter that guests can understand at a glance.
Boards hang vertically or horizontally, so one design can fit a tall narrow wall or a long low one.
Limited-edition boards by photographers Ben Hicks and Henry Bliss add a collectible, fine-art story. Each limited edition is limited to 50 pieces, and the Ben Hicks pieces come with a certificate.
