How To Decorate Any Room With Copper Wall Sculpture

By Elaine Guthrie


If you have been wanting to add artwork to your space and are not interested in canvasses, there are other options to consider. One option that can suit many different styles of decor is copper wall sculpture. Here are some tips and trick that you can use to add this form of artwork to your home or office.

Rooms come in many shapes and sizes and it is important to think of the room where your piece will hang. If there are large expanses of wall space you will have a lot of versatility in terms of where to position pieces and you will also be able to accommodate a wide range of sculpture sizes. The majority of homes and office spaces are now trending towards open concept layouts and this may mean that there are fewer walls where pieces can be hung.

Artwork needs to both stand out and blend in. It needs to provide a focal point in a room that the room is built around. It also needs to work well with the overall feel of a particular space. This means taking into account the architecture of your space and also the style of your other furnishings or decorative items.

You may want to think about whether you want a piece that is made out of several smaller portions or whether you want one large piece. A sculpture that is made up of smaller sections may be easier to hang or modify to fit your living space but it may not give you the look that you are trying to achieve.

Copper has many different visible colors. The exact hues you see will depend on if the metal has been chemically treated or if it has been coated. If you love the bright reddish hue of copper, making sure that the piece has been coated will keep it from tarnishing or oxidizing. This is a process that happens naturally when the surface of the metal is exposed.

Some pieces will have special hanging instructions that will accompany them. This could be anything from needing a special type of hanger to needing to reinforce the wall so that the weight of the sculpture will not cause problems. Make sure you follow the instructions so that you do not end up with an art-related catastrophe on your hands.

While many people think more about decorating their homes, artwork can look wonderful in an office as well. Just remember that original artwork can be an investment and you may want to find out whether investing it would bring specific benefits for your company. You should also think about the kind of industry you are working in and whether traditional or modern pieces would fit most in your office environment.

Once you have a rough idea of what you are looking for you can start shopping. You may feel uncomfortable going into art galleries but you do not have to. They will enjoy the chance to help you find pieces that work well for you and can help educate you on buying and art in general. Then you can feel comfortable knowing that you have found a unique piece that brings a special touch to your personal space.
