Why Capiz Shell Decor Shouldn’t be Confined to a Beach Bungalow

Summer is in full swing, so what better way to spruce up your space than with some seashells? (How’s that for a tongue-twister?)

Even better: Using some on-trend capiz shells to add in a beachy vibe. While it’s pretty common to spot capiz shells, aka windowpane oysters, in light fixtures, there are plenty of new iterations that are making us do a double-take. And before you think that shell-studded styles are only appropriate for a beach bungalow, think again. From delicate wall hangings to a versatile coffee table, here are a few show-stopping finds to add to your home decor.
