Happy Fourth of July! Whether you’re spending the day grilling up a storm, splashing in the waves with your loved ones, or making s’mores after dark (or all of the above), here’s to a relaxing and restful day off. To celebrate one of our favorite parts of the summer, we rounded up some of our most patriotic beach prints. Though not all of these prints were shot in America, their color palettes and laid back feel are the epitome of patriotic. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for in this roundup, head over to the GM shop!
Without further ado, these are the 10 prints that have us seeing fireworks…
1. Amalfi Candy Cane Umbrellas
If you’re looking for classic red, white and blue, this print has everything you need. We love the way the shot is framed—it almost feels like you could dive right into the water! 
2. White Beach Umbrellas, Italy
Who said white on white can’t make a big impact? The shadows cast by the umbrellas add a pop of dimension to an otherwise perfectly neutral print, and if you look closely, you’ll see a few aqua blue and coral red details…
3. Navy and White Striped Umbrellas
Stripes on stripes on stripes. Because of its tonal color palette, this true blue print will blend seamlessly into almost any room. Let’s just say stripes are the new neutral… you heard it here first.
4. Red and White Striped Beach Umbrella
You can’t help but smile when looking at these cheerful red umbrellas. The red really gives off a patriotic feel without going overboard. Add them to a darker-hued wall to brighten up the room or to a more neutral backdrop for an extra pop.
5. White Beach Club, Italy
This beach scene may look deserted at first glance, but take a closer look and you’ll see a few sunbathers resting in the shade. Hang this print somewhere you’ll passevery day, and consider it your reminder to get a little R&R.
6. Hamptons Blue and White Umbrellas
Who says you can’t add a little pop of green into your red, white, and blue wall décor? The Atlantic waves in this Hamptons print contrast with the punchy blue and white striped umbrellas for a look that’s perfectly preppy.
7. Coral Sands Red Umbrellas, Harbour Island
If you’re going for a patriotic theme, this subtle red, white and blue striped beach print is an easy way to keep things from looking too Fourth of July. Not to mention, this dreamy beach scene will give you major travel inspiration.
8. White Umbrellas, Bahamas
These white beach umbrellas are offset by the clear blue Bahamian waters, making this one of the most soothing prints you can add to your collection. This would be great in a children’s nursery or playroom to bring a little calm to the chaos.
9. Light Blue Umbrellas, Italy
If you can’t hop on the next flight to Italy, a bright beach aerial like this one below will transport you there mentally every time you look at it. We love hanging this print in a white kitchen for a splash of color (that’s not too overbearing).
10. Red and Blue Striped Umbrellas
Our dream beach set up looks a lot like this one... Hang this print anywhere you want to add a touch of summer, even on the gloomiest days.
How are you celebrating the Fourth of July?
