    Giant Clam Shells in Home Decor

    Have you ever seen a faux giant clam shell used as a home decor piece? I love the look! I’m sharing inspiring ideas of how to use them & where to find them too!
     
    Have you seen faux giant clam shells used in people’s homes? I think they’re fabulous! Whether they’re filled with succulents or other plantings or used in more creative ways, they’re a fun home decor piece to have. I love how the shape, size, and texture of these beauties add a dramatic yet natural feel to the spaces they’re in. I’ve seen them used in almost every room of the house and not only those with a coastal themed design. 
     
    I thought it would be fun to share some some of my favorite ways I’ve seen giant clam shells used and also where you can buy them. Let’s get to it… (post includes affiliate links – disclosure statement available {here})
     
    One option for using a giant clam shell is as a table centerpiece, especially for large dining tables like the one in this fabulous outdoor dining space:

    Giant resin clam shells can hold towels in a large bathroom or outdoors by the pool:

        I hope you get your clam shell – better start leaving some subtle (or maybe not so subtle) hints to your man!
