Lanterns with Maritime Flair – Summer Decoration Ideas for Home and Garden

Bring summer into the house by making beautiful decorations with sand and shells. Arranged inside glass lanterns or hurricane vases, these simple materials create a more dramatic effect and immediately recall the beach and long summer holidays.

Summer Decorating Ideas For The Railing

Decorate lanterns with shells to give them a maritime atmosphere. Fill wide glass vases halfway with sand, add shells and starfish in different colors, shapes, and sizes, then place a candle in the center.

Sand, Shells, And Votive Candles

Summer decorations made with natural seaside materials are easy and versatile. Glue shells and driftwood pieces to a wreath base, fill a bowl with water, sand, and floating candles, or decorate the outside of lanterns with small shells. For a stronger effect, group lanterns at different heights.
