Driftwood Decor

With Summer just around the corner, we are seeing more and more driftwood and natural wood accents drift into homes. Many people associate the worn, sun-faded décor with beach or lake houses, but it can look beautiful pretty much anywhere!

The natural fluidity of driftwood as well as live edge furniture adds texture and interest to any room.  Pairing natural elements like driftwood with materials such as metal and glass can make this earthy accent feel right at home in contemporary or even industrial style spaces.

We love how some shops are even coating natural wood in metallic paint to create a luxurious piece while still maintaining the natural form and movement of the driftwood.

The natural soft grays and whites of driftwood, as shown above, can practically meld into any décor, or you can make it the focal point of the room.
