By Elaine Guthrie


There are always numerous challenges present when decorating a home or corporate environment. In the corporate world, one has to think differently because it has to appeal to so many people. Beyond that, they have to think of elements that will provide interest to the space aside the normal pieces usually found in an office. Below, see the reasons to decorate using a metal wall sculpture to help make a statement.

In the corporate world, one needs to find pieces that are durable, as they may be subjected to some bumps, not to mention a drop here and there. One has to ensure that it will maintain its appearance without any damage to it, and this type of art made with metal can withstand the occasional bump. That said, it may be the answer to a home with children and pets.

It's also flexible artwork that works with different styles of interior design schemes. Whether an office or home is decorated with an Asian flair, or more traditional or modern, it will work. Furthermore, even if wood tones are changed, or other materials like melamine or glass are brought in, they will all blend in well together. In other words, nothing will clash.

There are more benefits to such sculptures, such as the fact that they can be timeless. In investing in a piece like this, it never needs to be updated. Many types of artwork show their age quite quickly, and therefore require updating regularly. Instead, such an investment brings on a sophisticated and tasteful addition to the space, and one that's long-lasting, yet never making too much of a personal statement.

The fact that it doesn't make such a personal statement could also be a great benefit even when it is in one's home. All people have different tastes, even the same family members so it can make a positive statement without it being too personal. Instead, it's just striking an interesting with a subtle message that's left up to the eye of the beholder.

This medium, which is very durable and quite malleable helps to be very expressive so we can easily shape a home or workplace. Oil paintings can be beautiful, as can other forms of decorative art, but these are a wonderful alternative to the norm. It's rare, for example, to find a piece of art in the form of 3-D, but this is very possible when using metal.

Other reasons that it becomes so attractive is the fact that they can be abstract pieces, manipulated in certain fashions as seen fit by the artist, and appreciated by the onlooker. Themed pieces are also very popular to complete a certain look, as in a study, where one would possibly choose a sailboat. One of the most interesting types are those where numerous pieces are involved which spread across the entire wall.

Of course, when speaking of these metal sculptures, it's important to understand that there not only made for the indoors. That said, one should look for a piece that is meant for outdoor conditions, but it's a wonderful addition to an exterior wall of an outdoor space. It's the way to fully decorate the outdoor room and make it feel inviting.
