You should be able to love looking at the artwork you choose to display in your home. Adding bronze sculptures to any room can complement your decor, bring a touch of sophistication, and give you perfect conversational pieces. However, it can be challenging to figure out the best ways to arrange sculptures. To help, I’ll share some tips for displaying sculptures in your home.
Have Perfect Lighting
Lighting has a significant influence on the presentation of your sculptures. It’s all about finding the right balance. When there’s too much lighting, it can obscure the finer details. On the other hand, insufficient lighting will hide them completely. You should use diffused light sources to illuminate sculptures, such as daylight from windows. Avoid spotlights, backlights, and illumination that is directly underneath the sculptures as a rule of thumb. These lights can cast obtrusive shadows and reduce visibility.
Consider Proper Placement
For ideal viewing, I strongly recommend displaying your bronze animal sculptures at eye level. It would be best to place more enormous statues in a spot where guests can get a complete 360-degree view of them. At the same time, they shouldn’t obstruct pathways and interfere with the room's flow. Place larger ones by themselves on tables or pedestals. Small sculptures can help enhance displays like bookshelves, lighted cabinets, or recessed walls if they’re high enough that you can see them within eye level.
Use Display Cases
In some instances, you will want to consider having dedicated display cases to house your sculptures, such as curio cabinets. These cases come in many sizes and finishes that match your décor and resemble furniture to blend in better. A vast majority of them feature built-in lighting that will draw attention to your most remarkable pieces, saving you money on pricier display lighting and electrical maintenance. These cabinets also prevent dust and debris from accumulating on sculptures and help keep them in pristine condition.
