stageitloveitsellit! I have a (potential) client looking for something similar for a stair case w/very high walls. The pieces he picked out are very unique & engaging but won't be ready 'till January. I'm now on a mission to find something equally unique & interesting. Where might I find that exquisite (or something similar) to the wall art.?
10. Use lighting. Most people realize that putting a spotlight on your art will highlight it and make it stand out. But in this room the lighting increases the impact of the art by the shadows cast. Using lighting to enhance your art is another big subject, so I'll have to go into that in another Ideabook.
I like the grid of small sculptures mounted on a wall here. They make a big impact floating together just a few inches from the wall. The long arms stretched out on the coffee table are unusual too.
Create a focal point. "For this living room, we wanted a balance of solid walls as well as natural light," says Hugh Randolph of Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects. "Rather than use a series of evenly spaced windows, we looked at the walls as backdrops for large artworks and then grouped the windows together in floor-to-ceiling arrangements. This gave us a balance of solid/void and open/closed, as well as enough wall area to highlight the art as a focal point."The sculpture "works especially well on this wall," he says, "since it's along a circulation path that provides a variety of angles from which to view the work."
