Tips And Tricks You Can Use To Decorate With Copper Wall Sculpture

By Elaine Guthrie


Art can be a great way to personalize your home or office. When many people hear about art they may think that this would be limited to paintings on canvas or photography that has been framed. They may not consider that copper wall sculpture or other metal art can add a beautiful touch to any space. Here is what you need to consider when you search for this type of art for your space.

One thing to consider before you shop is the size of the room where you will be putting the piece. You also have to think about how much wall space in that room you are willing to devote to the art you will purchase. A small space can look good even with a large painting or wall sculpture hanging on it but you may need to be careful about how large a piece you purchase.

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.

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.

If you want to add sculpture to the walls of your office or store this can be a fantastic way to reflect your personality and that of your company as well. You may want to make sure that you do not have a piece that is overly modern or abstract if you are in a traditional industry such as law or finance.

There are many places that you can find sculptures. Many art galleries will have artists working in this medium. You can also find some options online as well. The advantage to buying from a gallery is that you know you are getting original work and can see the piece in person. Some sculpture can be heavy and expensive to ship. Only you will know what is the right source for you when it comes to buying art in general.
