Sizes vary by type: small tabletop accents are often about 1.5–3 inches high; framed wall art and sculptures commonly measure in the low teens of inches; and hanging items or shelves can run much longer—often up to about 40–60 inches in length or width.
Driftwood decor commonly uses coastal and nautical themes—turtles, boats, mermaids, waterbirds and other ocean-inspired motifs—making it a natural fit for beach‑themed or seaside interiors.
Driftwood pieces are typically offered in natural driftwood tones (browns and weathered wood finishes) and in coastal palettes—examples include blue & green mixes or combinations of blue, white and tan.
Rustic authenticity comes from natural grain patterns, visible knots and knot variation, rough‑sawn distressing, and other surface irregularities—features often highlighted in pine or rough‑sawn wood pieces.
Many items are made from reclaimed driftwood or other wood; shelves and framed accents frequently use construction materials such as MDF or pine.
Driftwood decor appears as tabletop accents or wall‑hung pieces. Some sculptures include built‑in hangers or hooks, and floating shelves commonly use hidden or invisible brackets; many listings note that mounting hardware is included.
