Where to Put a Sculpture In Your Home

I work as a blogger for businesses although I do a variety of different types of writing. I particularly enjoy writing about all aspects of design and creativity. I think that your home should reflect your personality and that it should change as you change. More about me at www.kathrynvercillo.com and http://diaryofasmartchick.com.

Sculptures are one of the best types of art to purchase in order to add a neat design element to your home. They are three-dimensional and therefore difficult to ignore. However, their size can sometimes make it difficult for people to know exactly where to place them so that they are on display in the home without taking over the space.

The good news is that there are actually a lot of great places to put your sculptures. Large sculptures can be placed on display on pedestals, set to the side of a room on the floor or even added to the landscape of your yard. Smaller sculptures can be set on bookcases and window sills either individually or as a collection.

The trick to choosing the right place for your sculpture is to think about the function of the space before the design. A sculpture could look great in the center of a room but if it's a room that people are always walking through then it may not be efficient to have the sculpture blocking the way. When you choose the right space, you'll be able to make the other design elements (like color and lighting) work around it.
