Nude Color Trend in Interiors and Design

SEASHELL COLOR IN DESIGN AND INTERIORS

Even the word sounds simply sublime. Just as seashell sounds: it speaks of delicate tranquillity that softly echoes the sea – a gentle whisper of a shade. An off-white colour ‘Seashell’ is a variation of white and resembles some of the very pale pinkish tones that are common in seashells.

Seashell provides a soft wash of colour – think white with a touch of sun kissed peach and a hint of pink; reminiscent of the warm glow of sunset on the beach where empty shells wash up on sandy shores.

Little treasures from the deep, did you know that shells were once used as currency? Money is a considered a universal need, even in the earliest days of human history. Trade utilised rare and precious metals including gold or silver and cowry shells were also a lucrative form of money. Shells were a great form of money – uniform shells of high quality were hard to come by and these shells were durable.

Shell Beach Western Australia

Looking for the ultimate shell destination? There’s a beach located in Western Australia known as Shell Beach, this place is popular because it is home to billions of tiny coquina bivalve shells (deposited over 4,000 years ago) which fill up the entire stretch. The result is a sixty-kilometre long snow-white beach covered in shells, lapped by an aqua blue sea. Now that does sound dreamy!
