Want a cool wind in deco? And if we were inspired by all that nature offers us to create a seasonal decor?

Swing by the sea what am I recovering?

Good to know : the General Code of the Property of the Public Persons stipulates, in the article relating to the maritime domain ( Article L2132-3) that "no one can (...), on this domain, proceed to deposits or to extractions, nor to engage in degradations ". Translation: empty seashells are an integral part of the maritime public domain. Legally, pickup is prohibited, but in fact it is tolerated . However, if everyone stripped the sea, sure that the collectors would not be so quiet. Before stripping the sea, so we old to pick the bare minimum and not to carry tons of shells that will end piled up in the cupboards. Attention, in some countries (Seychelles, Mauritius, ...) you risk big to bring back with you seashells found on the beach. We remain cautious and very measured.

• the shells: it's the most obvious! Super cute, varied shapes ... shells are the most beautiful effect in decoration. Trouble? We make fabulous jewels. If they are a little damaged, we hide their small defects by hiding them one under the other.
• the pebbles: polished by the rolling of the waves, they are smooth and one is a fan of their small zen sides.
• Driftwood: aesthetic, we love the raw side of driftwood that gives a touch 'nature' to our decor.
• starfish: cannons so difficult to find (especially in high season), the stars are as rare as sublime!
• sand: we bring back small bags. In vases, as candle holders, as a binder in a marine composition ... We do not always think but sand is a cheap tool that can give a lot of pace to our interior.

How to make a marine decoration?

For a marine decor, we also put on the codes of this universe. Side color , we want white, navy blue, some touches of red and natural wood ! The tinted glass pebbles and ropes are also used in the net fishing spirit. If we love to hunt or we are adept at DIY we also get toulines, these hyper-cannons marine bow-shaped! On the other hand, we publish stuffed plaids and soft carpets: the marine decor is 100% summer!
