Decorate Your Interiors With Classical Statuary

An elegantly placed indoor statue adds style and  brings art into  lifelike dimension for your interiors whether it is a gallery wall, formal hallway or table. Scaled, classic indoor statues that replicate Michelangelo's David or even the bust of William Shakespeare arrests the eye and captures the heart. Some will have smooth  finishes, others have rough unfinished edges and chisel work like a Rodin piece. And they can be formed from a variety of materials, including marble, bronze, clay, concrete and fiberglass.

The sculptural bust provides old world charm and adds an intriguing element and accent when included in an attractive vignette.  Busts can become the perfect ornamentation to adorn the tops of so many surfaces such as pedestals, columns  tabletops, niches, or grand pianos. The list is endless. Much like the home library, the ageless appeal of statuary adds character and a sense of timelessness. They are monuments to past eras. Used with other  basic elements of design, this object d’art can be a focal point or an element of surprise for those who are entertained by our spaces.  Not all of us have homes like the ones pictured in there images but that doesn't mean you can't use statuary on a smaller scale. The main thing is to use it well so it can look spectacular. I hope as you study these images you can see how to correctly incorporate statuary into you home.
