Here is a closer look at this ‘Re-Invented Nightlight’.  With his new line, Chase has taken coastal lighting in a completely new and exciting direction.  Scroll down to see this nautical sconce first during the day, and then below at night, where the light will come on and pour through the 100-200 individual cuts made by Chase in the steel canvas.

3 Coastal Kitchen Decorating Ideas

3 Easy Decor Tips For Your Coastal Kitchen

 

Hello! Today we are going to share a few ideas for decorating the kitchen in your beach house.  The photographs on this page feature nautical sculptures handmade by coastal artist Chase Allen, find out more about him by clicking here.

1. Keep it light.

 

The coastal decorated kitchen photographed below utilizes light colors with wood paneling for a great look.  The coastal accents look great, and I love the window letting all the wonderful light in.

 

Flounder Art In Coastal Kitchen

 

The flounder sculpture on the wall is handcrafted by Chase on Daufuskie Island, and is featured in his Permanent Collection of Iron Fish Sculptures, which you can see by clicking here.

 

To view the flounder sculpture, click here.

 

Here is a closer view of this elegant flounder decoration.  If you look closely you can see the rustic finish that Chase’s work is famous for, having been featured in Coastal Living and Southern Living to name a few:

 2. Coordinate your accents.

 

It is important to try and coordinate the accents that you choose to decorate with.  In the beach house kitchen below, they have used a few well placed red accents to complement the crab sculpture featured over the stove.

 

Crab Kitchen

 

Crab sculptures come ‘cooked’ (red), like the one seen above, or ‘uncooked’ (blue), and come in a variety of sizes.  See them all by clicking here.

 

Here is a closer look at this handmade iron crab art by metal sculptor Chase Allen:

3. Mix it up!

 

Finding unique decorations for your coastal kitchen will keep it interesting, and fun!  I love the variety used in the beachy kitchen photographed below, and that vintage red light hanging overhead looks great next to the lobster sculpture on the wall.  The green shelf complements the red accents against the white walls, and it all flows seamlessly.

 

Beach House Kitchen Decorating

 

Lobster sculptures are available in 3 sizes, 12″ x 21″, 17″ x 26″, and 24″ x 40″.  See them all by clicking here.

 

Here is a closer look at the lobster wall decoration.  Notice the attention to detail as Chase carves this nautical work of art from a steel canvas:
