Porthole Windows and Mirrors

Creative Ways to Use a Porthole

Wondering how to repurpose a salvaged porthole? These authentic ship pieces can easily become the centerpiece of your space.

One of the most popular ideas is turning a porthole into a mirror—functional and decorative! Customers have also installed portholes in creative ways, like in children’s rooms as playful windows overlooking other areas of the house. Some use them as unique frames for vacation photos, creating a nautical collage behind the original glass. Others incorporate multiple portholes into hallways, back porches, or coastal-themed spaces for a seamless maritime aesthetic.
