Beach Home Decor Ideas – A Bowl Full Of Shells…
The little thoughtful accents around the house are what make it a home. When you are decorating in the beach theme, seashells are really one of the “Must-Haves” when you accessorize throughout your living space. There is so much you can do with one ore two or many seashells:
- make a mirror (like I showed you in a previous blog post),
- fill a nice glass or acrylic vase with sand and place your “findings” from the beach on top, it looks stunning!
- find a nice bowl and fill it with bought (or found) seashells
- place a single big shell in a special spot on a display table
- have pictures of shells on the wall
- and much, much more!
Here is one of my very simple creations; nothing special, I just want to show you how easy it can be:

Happy accessorizing! :o)

GREAT IDEA! Luckily we live in Florida where there are an abundance of shells. We like to go out on cooler evenings and shell hunt. I will be following your directions this weekend! Thanks.
So simple and yet so elegant. Seashells are one of nature’s greatest decorations, don’t you think?

Love it 🙂 I cannot wait until the weather gets better so I can go to the beach and pick up some seashells!
I used to live in Laguna Beach, CA and shells are one of the accessories that I used to make my home more “beachy” which ironically enough it wasn’t when I moved in.
email me where you found the template for this site please. Or is this custom?
Taryn, my theme is called “Beach Holiday“
This is a great idea for displaying sea shells . Once you get a collection going you have to do something with them to and not keep them a box.
Looks great. My wife and I have also made some great decorations out of drift wood. Many times, once the wood is cleaned up a bit it makes an art piece all by itself.
Thanks
This really reminds me of growing up in my mom’s house. We lived a mile and a half from the beach outside of Boston and she was a huge fan of collecting shells and using them in vases and bowls all around our house. Great memories!
I have a little bowl in our bathroom filled with seashells from my travels around the world, each shell is marked on the back of where it was from. Fun piece to show guests!
I still have this box I made in 4th grade, it was a wooden box that I painted a light blue and attached tiny sea shells to. I will probably keep it in my house forever.
You can make the most beautiful curtains out of seashells too if you have enough of them, or a nice wind chime if you only have a few. I had a big fascination with them when I was a child and thinking about them makes me reminisce of those days.
I lived at the beach for over 10 years. And having come from the Midwest I got a kick out of decorating my place with beachy stuff. I liked having shells for soap and sponge holders for instance. Also I have a large sea sponge that was the centerpiece of my living room.
Mark, I love sea sponges! I am sure it looked absolutely stunning. Thanks for stopping by!
