Popping up in all the coolest interiors, it’s easy to see why shells are having a moment – sculptural, pretty and the perfect way to add a playful touch to a space.

Shells have long provided inspiration for designers. From scalloped edges to iridescent finishes and curved, sculptural shapes, these natural wonders have plenty of design-worthy details.

And shells seem to once again be having a moment in interiors, popping up everywhere from tableware to textiles. And forget any notions of them being too “beach-house-y” – whether you prefer things pared-back or full of pretty colour, there’s an option for you. 

We’ve rounded up 22 pieces available now, whether you’re looking for a fun, summery addition to your table or something to add whimsical touch to your living space.
