A large sculptural piece of driftwood like this one is beautiful and decorative all on its own, and you need do nothing but find the right corner in your home to display it, via House Beautiful.
I love how the shape of this tall driftwood piece was used to hang a pendant light and create a reading nook.
Or if you find three pieces like Holly of In the Fun Lane, you can compose stunning Driftwood Art for the wall!
And a thick straight piece can be transformed into a functional Driftwood Rack by simply attaching hooks.
And another hanging idea for a long piece of driftwood! Seen at Wunderweib.

You never seize to amaze me whenever you post these excellent inspirational photos! J'adore the coat rack idea, which I probably will copy for my home.

The natural look of driftwood is so pretty -- the curvy shapes, the worn wood, the soft colour.... great suggestions for ways to bring the beauty of driftwood into your home :-) My favourite is the piece of driftwood used to hold the pendant light -- what a great idea!!

Love the coat rack, I have a piece drying that will work nicely for that!
We hung a large slab, with a palm like surface, that washed up after Hurricane Ike. Textural during the day, dramatic at night with an uplight.
Pleasant day,

Fantastic ideas! I have a large piece I dragged off the beach a few years ago that I've been intending to turn into a mantle piece for the basement fireplace. Maybe I'll actually get around to doing that this winter!
Very cool! I recently found a huge piece of bamboo...about 8 inches thick and 10 feet long from the sea...maybe I should go back and get it, Hmm?
Really pretty!! I just accidentally ordered a bunch of short ones (5" each) - now - what to do with those!!
my husband had a drift wood lamp from his college days. It was relegated to the basement. We left it with the old house... sort of as a welcome home joke... we didn't want it. Little did we know a couple of months later driftwood would be all the rage!
Love all these ideas!
Love this post,great photos!! All the best,Chrissy
does any one know what a piece of drift wood 14 inches thick almost 9 feet tall and resembles coral with all the curves and holes thru it be worth thanks Ronnie
Ronnie:
Sounds like an awesome piece of driftwood! I would check on ebay and see if someone's selling a similar piece to get an idea. That's all I can think of.
Thanks for stopping by!
