Seashells… Beauty in the home

WHAT does everyone bring home with them when they visit the beach? For me, it is definitely seashells. There’s nothing better than bringing a breath of the ocean home, and beautifying the home with it. I enjoy finding and collecting them.

The beauty about it is definitely  finding good ways to display them in our homes. They are well accepted in the world of interior decoration.

SEASHELLS also have a rich history. Ancient societies used them as tools, currency, ornaments, and spiritual objects. The ancient Egyptians used shell sacks as a symbol of wealth. Of course, these didn’t have to be counted as payment; they simply weighed them.
The West African tribes used them as dowries. Because seashells, especially the cowries, were easy to handle and also very durable, they continued to be used as currency in West Africa until the 20th century.

SEASHELLS have played a very important role for a very long time. The subdued shapes and colours of seashells have caused a sensation; inspiring many designers to create great pieces for home décor.

THINKING of seashells for decoration, we can only imagine these elements in a beach house.
Seashells combined with contemporary elements or materials can be perfectly matched to a variety of design and décor styles.

Seashells aren’t only in glass vases for display.
