The last time seashells were "in" (minus kitschy beach houses), was, what? The '90s? 2000s? It's definitely not a motif that we would have thought to revive, but as the saying goes: What goes around comes around.

Tamar Mogendorff Velvet Shell Pillow, $160
Tamar Mogendorff
Brooklyn's Tamar Mogendorff is known for her sculptural creations — like this shell pillow. Snag it in velvet in a variety of pleasing tones, or there's a linen version for something more Hamptons-y.
H&M Home
What is it with shells and bathrooms? Well, we're not saying this H&M shell dish has to go in your bathroom, but it seems like a good place for it.
Finnish Design Shop
Pricey Scandi design, but damnnnn, we like.
Aventyr
Anyone else getting The Little Mermaid vibes from this fun vase?
PB Teen x Emily and Meritt Shell Upholstered Bed (Full), $999
PB Teen
This upholstered bed certainly makes a statement. But why the shell not?
Clare V. x Wallshoppe Lotus Wallpaper, $149
Wallshoppe
We adore Clare V.'s Wallshoppe collab. Some may say these little doo-dads are flowers, but we say they can also look like shells.
Zara Home Shell-Shaped Coasters (4-pack), $35.90
Zara Home
Put these in your beachside home — if you're that fancy. Otherwise, they make a glam addition to any coffee table.
Ferm Living Shell Tufted Rug, $97.25
Finnish Design Shop
This is intended for a kids' room ... but you know how we feel about using kids' decor outside of the playroom. (Hint: We are pro.)
