This Week's Top 5 Favorite 1stdibs Items: Seaside Inspiration!

The cold weather is now taking its hold on the southern part of the country (not that we're complaining) and we're only just realizing this officially means the end of summer and warm weather. While we love the fall and winter there's something special about the memories that come from the summer. If you've been missing summer as well, why not infuse your interiors with a little seaside inspiration? These fun accessories will have your room feel like a sunny beach house all year long!

1) Mosaic Tile Bench
From Buenos Aires, Argentina this large-scale bench made of multicolored glass tiles depicting sea creatures is from the 1960s, and while it's a bit loud, it's also wonderful! How fun would this be to have in an interior? We love it!
Price: $8,500
Dealer: Bush Antiques

2) Pair of Italian Grotto Chairs by David Barret

Okay these amazing chairs aren't specifically seaside or beach themed, but you can't deny they look like two giant seashells! These could be chairs that you can add for a fun pop of seaside inspiration in an otherwise non-seaside decorated space.
Price: $11,000
Dealer: Donna Parker Habitat

3) Antique Lead 'Neptune' Fountain Sculpture
Who better to have in your sea-inspired space than Neptune himself? This is another great example of a subtle element you could add to an already decorated room to incorporate a seaside theme to it. Even without other seaside inspired accessories, it is a lovely sculpture.
Price: $5,800
Dealer: Regan and Smith

4) Seashell Encrusted Mirror

Seashell encrusted home decor came back into style a few years ago again, both to the delight and horror of homeowners everywhere. Depending on the space, a piece like this could add a fun sea-feeling to it, or it could overwhelm. Pair this with simple surroundings to really let it shine. Price: $2,000
Dealer: Darrell Dean

5) Large Yellow Seashell Centerpiece
Yellow's not a color commonly associated with seaside inspired home accessories, but we love it on this seashell centerpiece. What a bright, bold and fun addition to a seaside-themed space---or any space for that matter!
Price: $2,800
Dealer: Palm Beach Antique and Design Center
