Pottery Barn’s Seashell Decor Will Give Your Home Vacation Vibes All Year Long
One of the summer’s hottest decor trends is redefining a coastal cliché, and I’m obsessed. On a recent trip to Pottery Barn, I felt transported all of a sudden to a seaside souvenir shop (in the best possible way). Everywhere I looked, trinkets adorned with seashells lined the shelves. But these seashell pieces aren’t just nostalgic clutter; they’re part of a larger trend.
Apartment Therapy first noticed the seashell decor trend on the rise in designer homes last spring. From a controversial shell-encrusted fireplace surround, to shell mirrors and elaborate seashell mosaics — and now, Pottery Barn’s summer collection — it seems like seashells might be here to stay a while.
