Master the art of styling a curated space with carefully selected sculptural home accessories. CB2’s beautiful artisanal modern home décor allows you to breathe new life into your home, reflecting your tastes and adding depth to your style story. Here, we'll show you how to choose and place sculptural decoration pieces for elevated interiors that inspire.
Prioritise craftsmanship and design
Sculptural forms draw the eye, whether it's a sweeping curve or a pleasing geometric form. When placing eye-catching modern objects in your home, set the right tone by selecting handcrafted, high-design pieces that will stand the test of time. CB2's aesthetic home décor eschews trends, ensuring it can take pride of place in your home for years to come.
Where can I add sculptural accents?
Decorating a home takes some interior design know-how. Sculptural accents add a dash of charisma to your home - but you need to know the most impactful spots to place them. Large sculptural home décor items can be:
● Placed as a coffee or dining table centrepiece
● Set at the ends of a sofa or sectional in your living room to anchor the seating arrangement
● Styled in corners to add interest in underused spaces
● Arranged next to architectural features to highlight them, such as attractive windows, fireplaces, and columns
● Added to al fresco lounge and dining terraces to inject style interest
To achieve a modern home décor, living rooms, bedrooms, and beyond can benefit from smaller sculptural pieces that weave through another layer of character. Add them to your mantle, accent tables, bookshelves, work desks, bedroom dressers, and nightstands. Smaller designs can work very well when placed at eye level, such as a bust on the mantel or a cast metal sculpture on the upper shelves of a bookcase.
Conversation with your space
Modern art should engage in a style conversation with the space in which it is placed. Think about how a modern object could enhance that space. Do you want to echo other sculptural silhouettes present, such as placing decorative bowls on each nightstand of a bed with a curvaceous headboard?
Perhaps a little contrast would invigorate the space? For example, placing a striking cement box on a circular coffee table. If your room is full of modern, statement furniture, place a sculptural accent that can stand up to this strong style aesthetic, such as a vintage-inspired piece or something abstract.
Materiality
CB2 has an array of different materials for you to explore within its decorative accents collection. In light and airy rooms, and particularly in open-concept spaces, consider weighty sculptures made of solid wood, marble, travertine, stone, or concrete, as these will have a grounding effect.
Turn to metal and glass pieces to play with the light (ideal for bijou rooms) and use wooden accents to warm minimalist spaces. Don’t underestimate the design power of adding different textures to a room. The rough surface of travertine or cement can harmonise a room full of sumptuous fabrics, while polished metal and stone accents can balance rustic live-edge wooden furniture.
With CB2’s contemporary home accessories collections, you won’t just find living room décor ideas, you’ll find stunning, inspirational objects to enrich every corner of your home.
