We’ve been covering some ways to incorporate summer themes into your home by using seashells.
The first ‘Bring in the Sea‘ showed how to convert a large shell, some sand and a large vase into a conversation-sparking centerpiece.
‘Bring in the Sea – Part 2‘ covered using larger seashells as bowls for accessories and other seashells.
Here are a couple more ways to incorporate the beauty and summery feel of seashells into your home’s decor:
Convert Them Into Modern Art
If the soft, warm attributes of seashells won’t fit in well with your home’s modern design, you can always bring the shells into the 21st century by coating them in a metallic paint. For ways to do that, see ‘Weekend Warrior: A Metallic Touch‘.
Not into the DIY? Similar, pre-made items like the Decorative Silver Shells by Max Accents are readily available.
Arts & Crafts for Grown-Ups
If you are the DIY type, try covering old frames for pictures or mirrors in rows of small seashells. Mixing up patterns and colors will add visual interest through both color and texture.
All in all, we’ve covered a number of ways to incorporate the light-hearted, summery feel seashells can provide into any area of your home.
Now, you’ll have some creative uses for the seashells you find when strolling along the beach this summer. If you’re not beach-bound however, seashells can be easily found in craft stores.
