Discover Underwater Treasures

Beachy accessories are so abundant, you could outfit a bathroom with seashells on everything from the soap dish to the tissue-box cover. But the trick to creating a stylish retreat is to go easy on the matching accessories. To create a room that reminds you more of a relaxing visit to the Caymans than a display at a department store, seek out one-of-a-kind items that are more art than kitsch. One amazing shell-art piece, like a pearlescent shell-encrusted mirror, makes a bold and beautiful statement. A capiz shell curtain draped over a turquoise shower sheer is another elegant seaside detail. Plus, it's jewelry for your shower curtain.
