Beach House Decor Featuring Lobster Sculptures

Beach House Decorating with Lobster Sculptures

 

Greetings! Today we are going to show you a few decorating ideas featuring lobster sculptures.  Every lobster decoration photographed here was handcrafted out of steel on Daufuskie Island, South Carolina by coastal artist Chase Allen.  You can find out more about Chase and his work by clicking here.

When you look closely at this sculpture, you can see the painstaking attention to detail made by Chase.  Notice the rustic finish and intricate cuts in the metal canvas that his work is now famous for.

 

In our blog the other day, which you can see by clicking here, we showcased 3 coastal decorating ideas for stingray sculptures featuring a Victorian coastal cottage from Martha’s Vineyard, that was photographed by our friends at Coastal Living.  Today I am going to show you a few more pictures of that beautiful beach house, and also recommend a few spots where I think a lobster sculpture would look great!

This room might not be the biggest in the world, but look at how they’ve maximized the space.  The two boys’ bunk beds are full of storage space underneath, saving a ton of room and hiding all of their mess I’m sure.  I think a lobster sculpture would be perfect right above their beds, showcased against the solid white wall.  It would match the red coastal accents in the room, and help the boys wake up every morning thinking about all the wonders of the ocean.  The beds and quilts are from Pottery Barn.

This coastal decor picture was featured in our stingray blog the other day, but I can’t help thinking a lobster sculpture would look great where the whale decoration now sits.  Highlighting the red accents in the other room, I think a lobster decoration would be truly eye-catching.

The lobster art photographed below is not from the same house, but I wanted to show you how impressive these sculptures look against a white wall.  This nautical sculpture looks great over the sink in this beautiful coastal kitchen.

In the picture below, you can see how the lobster art pops off the white wall at the end of this hallway.  Special thanks to Iron Fish Collector Jeff Cross for allowing us to photograph his beautiful beach house on Daufuskie Island.

Bold Beach House Decor

bold living room

With it’s vibrant color scheme and bold furnishings and accessories, this South Carolina vacation home has style to spare. The pops of red even continue out onto the patio! Now I personally enjoy surfboards used in decor, however, I think beach house wall art from the Iron Fish would work better in this particular space. A large lobster sculpture or “cooked” crab art would fit nicely with the unique personality of the room. What do you think?

Vintage Coastal Lobster Sculpture Decor-Insight on the Artists Palate

Vintage Lobster Sculpture Decor

Well, this title almost sums up how I describe my coastal sculptures.  Actually, I usually answer when asked that I “specialize in forging vintage finished coastal sculptures out of sheet metal” so not to be misleading and of course to not so much beat around the bush.

I thought that I would simply mention that most beach house decorations that hit home with my coastal decor palate are the ones that have “vintage” accents(so long as they are not obviously mass produced of course).  Bring on the cracked paint that sat in the sun for 20 + years.  Bring on the faded wood that looks like the paint is now more of a lightened stain.  Check out that mural on the side of the old brick building.  I also find examples of this vintage effect on old lobster and crab trap bouys, on old wooden boats, and even on old pieces of painted furniture.  No one can top mother natures paint brush so don’t even try.

This “vintage effect” is the appeal I work towards when creating my nautical sculptures.  I want my customers to have a hand crafted piece of art that looks as if it could have been made 50+ years ago or as if they found the piece in an old abandoned beach house in Nantucket(no, I have no idea if such a house exists so don’t ask:-).

I have worked for 10 years to perfect this “vintage coastal finish” in all of my mermaid, fish, crab, and lobster sculptures and I owe any success that I have found to my observation of good old mother nature.  This photograph of Kim Jackson’s lobster sculpture mixed with the vintage light fixture works perfect as designed!!!
