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!

Fishermen Lights

coastal decor

Check out the new Fisherman Pendant designed by TAF for Swedish lighting company Zero. Inspired by the old fashioned glass maritime floats, each light is made of a polypropylene globe suspended in a hand-knitted net made in Hönö on the west coast of Sweden. I think these unique lights would add a nice touch to your nautical decor. And if you’re feeling crafty, I imagine you could whip up a DIY version using a globe light and some dyed netting.

Collectors of vintage/weathered coastal iron works can enjoy all Iron Fish, mermaid, and crab sculptures as they are finished with these relics of the past in mind.  What mother nature creates out of painted metal after time and elements play their part is what The Iron Fish strives to achieve when finishing all hand crafted coastal sculptures.   Let it bleed!  Most people don’t give rust enough credit for adding character to metal art objects that have been long exposed to the elements.  Appreciation for that beautiful rust is easily found in anything Chase Allen creates.  Like wine and coastal living, these coastal gifts/nautical gifts improve with age.
