Tips And Tricks You Can Use To Decorate 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.

You should also think about what your room's feel is like. That can help you choose a style of art which will flow well rather than competing with other items in the room. For example, if your architecture and overall design style is very modern, it can be a good idea to look for more modern pieces as well.

If you do not have a large amount of wall space to hang your piece you may want to consider a sculpture or piece of artwork that is made up of smaller sections. These will often be lighter as well than a sculpture made from a single sheet or piece of metal. Keep in mind whether the piece will still have the same meaning or impact if it is broken up and hung in several separate areas.

If the changing color of copper is going to be a problem for you, you may want to ask if the piece has been treated with a coating that will deter oxidization. This is the gradual changing of the metal from a bright red to a dull green color. While this may take quite some time if it is hung indoors it may still change color over time if something is not done to prevent the change from occurring.

You may also want to find out what the weight of a particular piece would be. This is important since heavy pieces may require special hanging methods in order to distribute the weight safely. The last thing you want to do is have a metal sculpture fall as it can damage both the room around the piece and the piece itself.

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.
