This particular design really plays with proportion. On paper, I wouldn't think this oversized sculpture would work with this slender table, but it does work. Don't be afraid to experiment.
FYI, I'm stretching a bit beyond that "equidistant from the radius" geometric definition with some of these sculptures. But you know, if I didn't allow this stretch I'd still be calling the ideabook "Balls."
Next I noticed this one, which is way too big for this console table, but somehow it works here.
Accessories. Inject your space with personality through big, bold accessories. In general, accessories don’t carry as large a price tag as furnishings, so let yourself have a little fun. This giant sphere from a local artist in Sacramento is unexpected and colorful, adding just the right kick of interest to this vignette.
When you do hang a large mirror in the entry hall, think of including an oversize object d'art or accessory as an instant conversation starter upon entering the home. This large green ball sculpture adds a splash of color and texture in one easy gesture.
The shape and color of this three-dimensional round make it a striking focal point. It's from the Skinner Howard Art Gallery in Sacramento, California.
Bring in color and a hint of whimsy. "This sculpture is by Northern California artist Linda Raynsford, and we purchased it from Pamela Skinner/Gwenna Howard/Contemporary Art in Sacramento," says Kerry Ellis of Benning Design Associates. "The sculpture sits opposite a pool table in an entertainment room with a black-white-neutral color scheme. We used a couple of these spheres throughout the room to add an organic pop of color and a hint of whimsy."
