Placing sculptures in your home is a perfect way to show off your personality and showcase your distinct tastes. While the word may conjure Michelangelo's David or the Venus De Milo images in your head, sculptures come in many different styles beyond the classical works. Read on to learn how to choose a sculpture for your home.
Size Is Key
You don't want to go too big, as that can overwhelm the room, while going too small can get your sculpture lost in the shuffle. Your sculpture should complement the room size with decor that maximizes the space, so there is either a focus on just a few items or evenly spread across many.
Design of Your Home
The sculpture you choose should be in line with the rest of your home's design. For example, abstract sculptures made of steel and bronze, like this bronze bull sculpture, are ideal for modern and contemporary home decors. Minimalist design is the focus of this type of home. An elaborate, showy sculpture would not be appropriate, while a more subtle design fits in perfectly.
Take the Mood of the Room Into Account
The sculpture should reflect the atmosphere of the space in which you place them in. A subtle piece might be appropriate in the bedroom, but a bright statement piece can work wonderfully in the dining or living area. Try to display it in a prominent spot so that its elegance and beauty can be enjoyed.
Find Pieces That Excite You
Ultimately, you must look at any sculpture you place inside your home. Don't feel compelled to choose a style of statue just because you think it's what you're supposed to get if you feel strongly against it. Look at different pieces online, visit art galleries, and research emerging artists to find the right one that speaks to you.
