3 Simple Tips for Decorating Your Coastal Cottage with Stingray Art

Here are a few simple suggestions to keep in mind when decorating your beach house with stingray sculptures. The stingray decorations photographed on this page were all handcrafted by metal sculptor Chase Allen. Forged out of steel on Daufuskie Island, Chase ensures the quality of every piece of art he makes will be without comparison.

1. Find your beach house decoration a good home.

Finding the right spot for your nautical decoration is an important decision. I enjoy seeing Chase’s stingray art showcased against a white background, it really brings out the subtle curves and bends in the steel.

This giant stingray sculpture was created for Iron Fish Collectors Rich and Gale Silver. Special thanks for allowing us to photograph their beautiful beach home on Daufuskie Island. The hand-hammered texture of the stingray looks incredible against this solid white wall.

2. Know your decor.

It is important to know what decorations your beach house already contains, and coordinate accordingly. The picture below is from our friends at Coastal Living, and it features a renovated Victorian cottage located in Martha’s Vineyard, originally built in 1869.

I love the renovated hardwood floors, and the white washed wood panel walls look great in keeping with the rustic theme embraced here. The decorations around the entryway fit the nautical decor, but I think a stingray sculpture would look even better .

The rustic finish on the steel stingray would look great on these walls. Here is another room in this beautifully renovated coastal cottage.

I love those arching doorways, so open and inviting. Where would you place a stingray wall decoration?

3. Try something different!

In the picture below you can see how great stingray sculptures look in a school. Chase has designed a special bracket on the back of every iron stingray decor that allows you to change the angle easily, so move them around, spread them out, and try something different!

Here is another example of decorating with stingray art, you can move it in any direction you choose!

I came across these on Etsy and had to share:

Sea urchin pillows! Each piece is handmade from up-cycled bedspreads. Like anything handmade from independent artists, these would add a little uniqueness to your coastal bedroom decor.

Oars in Nautical Decor

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

I know oars and paddles are probably considered by some to be rather ubiquitous in nautical decor, but you know what? I DON”T CARE! I think they’re fantastic! Every time I come across an image where a designer or home owner has included one in there beach house decor I stop and ogle a little.

Here are a few images of oars and paddles in nautical decor I’ve rounded up for your viewing pleasure:

The two most frequently used applications for these accessories are are hung on the wall (like this one from Pottery Barn) or simply leaned against a wall in a corner.

At first glance this room coordinates nicely, but upon further inspection the only items in this room that hint at nautical style are the oar and the rope. (By the way, if you’re looking to replicate this room, the rug is from Ikea.)

I’d love to see the rest of this house. It has a very Scandinavian style to it.

Sarah at A Beach Cottage scored a great find with these vintage oars.

An oar as a hanger in an entry! Very creative!

Another example of oars hung as coastal wall art. I like the simplicity of this room.

Remember when I posted about the unique handrail for these stairs? Here’s another great handrail! Quirky and unique, these oars add definite style to this staircase.

1. Pottery Barn 2. Redmodelista 3. Lonny 4. A Beach Cottage 5. Design Sponge 6. Paul Wicheloe for Coastal Living / Skimbaco 7. Sunset
