Ever since Nate Berkus introduced that tortoise shell wall decor piece in his line for Target and it sold out in a flash, tortoise shells have been a hot design accent. I love the eclectic feel they add to a room and that they can be hung on a wall or used on a table surface. In most cases it is illegal to capture and acquire a real tortoise so almost all of what you see on for sale on the internet is faux which is OK in my book.
GET THE LOOK:
a pair in the foyer…tortoise accent lamp / a stylish accent for any table…tortoise shell box / mix this into a gallery wall arrangement…tortoise shell plaque / a bold look for a console table…tortoise shell on stand / a dramatic wall decor accent… bleached tortoise shells
Is tortoise shell decor on your hit or miss list? I’m crossing my fingers that Nate will bring them back for another run!
p.s. here’s an interesting article I read about how endangered tortoise shells are being protected.
