Starfish Decor

A starfish is radially symmetrical, which is a genuinely practical property for anything that gets moved around: there is no top, no bottom and no correct orientation, so a cushion dropped on a sofa or a mat pulled sideways still looks right. The shape also reads as a shoreline object rather than as a creature, which means it scatters and repeats comfortably where an animal portrait would compete with itself. Use it where a coastal note is wanted without a whole nautical theme, since one starfish suggests the sea and three suggest a gift shop.
