GRACE + BAY
Display & Installation Inspiration
Each GRACE + BAY piece is designed as sculptural coastal art - equally at home in a luxury residence, boutique hotel, office, or curated commercial space. While every installation is unique, here are our favorite ways to display your board.
For the most refined and architectural presentation, we recommend displaying your Grace + Bay board as a floating art piece.
A local handyman, carpenter, art installer, or Thumbtack professional can easily mount the board using a concealed French cleat system or hidden mounting hardware, allowing the piece to appear as though it is floating effortlessly against the wall.
Boards may be displayed vertically or horizontally depending on your space and design vision.
This approach is ideal for:
• Entryways
• Living rooms
• Hallways
• Stairwells
• Offices and conference rooms
• Boutique hotels and hospitality spaces
French cleat systems and concealed mounting hardware are readily available through most hardware retailers and online suppliers. The result is clean, modern, sophisticated, and gallery-inspired.
Some collectors prefer displaying their board using visible surfboard racks or decorative wall mounts.
Wood, leather, brass, acrylic, and minimalist metal mounts can all complement the board's aesthetic while creating a more relaxed coastal presentation.
These mounts can be installed vertically or horizontally and are widely available through specialty surf retailers, custom woodworking shops, and artisan makers.
This option works beautifully in:
• Beach homes
• Casual coastal interiors
• Guest houses
• Surf-inspired spaces
• Family rooms and media rooms
One of the simplest and most beautiful ways to enjoy your Grace + Bay piece is to simply lean it against a wall.
This relaxed approach allows the board to function as a sculptural object while preserving its effortless coastal character.
Many of our clients place their boards:
• Beside a fireplace
• In an entryway
• Adjacent to built-in cabinetry
• In a bedroom corner
• Along a covered patio wall
The result feels organic, collected, and quietly luxurious.
For flexibility and ease, your board may also be displayed on a freestanding art easel or custom display stand.
This option is ideal for:
• Rental properties
• Seasonal styling changes
• Retail environments
• Model homes
• Event installations
A thoughtfully chosen stand allows the piece to become a focal point while requiring no wall mounting at all.
The most beautiful installations are often the simplest.
Whether floating on a gallery wall, mounted with decorative hardware, resting on a stand, or casually leaning in a sunlit corner - or against any wall that is calling - each GRACE + BAY piece is designed to bring a sense of beauty, presence, and refined coastal living into whatever the space may be: home, office, restaurant, boutique hotel, or business.
There is no single right way to display a GRACE + BAY piece. The intention is simply to create a space that feels calm, elevated, and beautifully lived in.
