Three Coastal Decorating Tips for Chase Allen’s Handcrafted Sculptures

 

1.  Group/school the coastal sculptures in odd numbers….never even!

2.  Play with the spacing of the sculptures and adjust for the wall space that you are using.  These nautical sculptures can be spaced out to help fit the wall so use this to your advantage.  Start the school in a tight pattern and space them outward to match space available.

3.  Mix up the species.  Note that the mermaid sculpture looks awesome with the fish art swimming in the same direction.  Here is an exception to tip #1 because you are mixing the species!

Tangy yellows and zesty oranges add fresh-squeezed style to any interior or exterior space.

Decorate Sparingly

These bright shades aren’t for the faint of heart. Bring sunny hues into your home and celebrate summer all year. Keep it simple. Walls painted a bold citrus color allow you to decorate with just a few understated pieces.

Whether I’m eating them…or hanging them on a wall, I positively adore fish in any form. Fortunately, Chase (and his site’s past and present ‘aquatic’ design selections ) offer an immense variety of decorating opportunities for the home, office, business or as a hand-crafted gift for someone extra important to you. (The fact that these vintage finished sculptures are hand-crafted by a Daufuskie Island artisan make it all the more special.) The fact that I can offer design tips as to how these sculptures can be integrated into your own interior decorating choices is icing on the cake! Though many of my tips are, for the most part, straight forward….I do enjoy taking a more ’tongue in cheek’ or ‘outside the box’  approach as often as I possibly can! It’s certainly more fun and adventurous, so let your hair down for a bit and give it try. You might discover a whole other side to yourself.
