This gorgeous coral chandelier from Moth Design is a great way to bring the wonders of tropical coral reefs indoors. Although I envision this chandelier inside a bright and airy shore or seaside home, it'd also be great in the house of any ocean enthusiast.
Check out some other coral-inspired designs and sweet chandeliers below.
Implications - The sea is still a place of mystery for many who don't have the luxury of living on coastal regions. Landlocked locations can bring seaside sentiment into their homes thanks to the various interior designs that now incorporate themes from the deep blue. Coral chandeliers are only the beginning of this marine trend.
