Incorporating summer-inspired designs into our homes is a great way to lighten up our moods and celebrate the season.
Spending time at the beach and collecting shells is one of the most time-honored summer traditions.
The first ‘Bring in the Sea‘ showed how a large shell (whether stumbled upon or purchased) can be converted into a conversation-starting centerpiece.
Here are a few more ways to incorporate seashells into your home:
An Accessories Bowl
A large, open seashell works well as a go-to place in bedrooms for keys and loose change. They also work well in bathrooms for storing and displaying soap and other small items.
If you’re lucky enough to find a large shell on the beach in tact, great. If not, no one’s going to judge you if you purchase one. The effect is all the same.
Dotting the contents of the bowl with smaller shells, starfish and other sea accessories will help to tie into the theme.
Shells as a Feature
Instead of using the seashell as an accent piece, use their natural beauty as an opportunity to stand out on their own.
Consider filling up the large shell bowl with seashells of varying shapes, sizes and colors. The sole focus on the shells will effortlessly incorporate summer vibes into your home.
