Monday, March 25, 2019
Edit
A few weeks agone I launched a novel series, Home Styling, amongst the see to offering to a greater extent than ideas too inspiration around styling at home. I've been looking dorsum through the archives - I used to practise an 'Interior Styling' serial - too at that topographic point are topics I'm planning to revisit, but today's theme around sculptural elements is ane I haven't specifically touched on before. It has nevertheless been something I've frequently referenced, peculiarly throughout my Musings + Moodboards posts. Lately I've been introducing sculptural pieces to my domicile too styling too we're besides seeing a lot of sculptural elements inwards blueprint correct now.
Sculptural pieces check perfectly into homes that convey a gallery feel. Those that are lite too airy amongst a pared back, elegant aesthetic, too beautiful displays of art. Granted, this aspirational trend of domicile tin live on high-end (as demonstrated inwards the prototype above). While I practise recommend choosing slice of furniture every bit investment pieces that yous volition convey for a long time, I besides believe yous tin inject some sculptural touches into your domicile on a smaller scale/budget.
From higher destination pieces through to smaller accents, hither are 4 ways to assist yous accomplish the look.
— Furniture, Lighting too Plinths —
There are some beautiful curved sofas on offering currently. Being too thence recent, the Gubi Stay Sofa that I used inwards this living room shoot directly springs to mind, too I honey seeing them paired amongst the contrasting lines of plinth-style tables. Display plinths needn't live on expensive. I picked upward both of ours from establish shops, too gave them a couplet of coats of Dulux paint. They supply a slap-up identify to display smaller sculptural pieces.
When it comes to sculptural trend furniture, curved forms too abstract shapes check the mouth perfectly. Here are some of my electrical current picks.
The novel ferm Living collection includes some beautiful sculptural blueprint pieces. A slice of fine art inwards itself, the Insert Side Table is a favourite. H&M Home has a sculptural focus amongst playful rounded shapes too forms inwards their latest collection of slice of furniture too lighting. See to a greater extent than of the novel collection at Residence Magazine.
The Kashmir Chair designed yesteryear Simon James for Resident features a steel frame maiden of all yesteryear a curved tailored backrest. I absolutely honey this sculptural element. Circular stitching details incorporated into the backrest give the chair a potent sense of modern craftsmanship.
The curved Dandy Sofa yesteryear Massproductions is long-time favourite too I besides honey their novel Puddle Table, both pictured below. With softly bevelled edges, the Puddle has a sculptural organic shape that makes it both interesting too functional. Also available inwards oak, encounter the gain of Massproductions on offering at Simon James Design.
Danish designer Kristina Dam has a signature sculptural trend that she carries throughout her collections. The Curved Pouf, a modern blend of aesthetic elegance too casual comfort, has a rounded organic expression. Made from the finest grey-brown aniline leather, the sturdy pouf tin live on used every bit a topographic point or pes rest.
When it comes to lighting, await for designs that characteristic rounded forms or sudden angled lines. The VV Cinquanta wall light yesteryear Astep from Good Form features a two-armed blueprint that gives a striking sculptural shape, every bit good every bit multiple lighting positions.
I'm loving the novel lighting collection yesteryear Danish sculptural lighting designer Tom Rossau.
— Art too Object —
From ceramics too carved wooden pieces, through to Grecian busts too metallic candle holders, it was difficult to narrow this ane down! I've chosen some favourites from both international too local designers.
— Second-Hand too Etsy Finds —
I convey several sculptural second-hand finds at domicile including the beautiful bust sitting yesteryear my daybed. On the shelves below I convey a smaller bust, marble sphere too clam shell. All of these were from vintage slice of furniture too homeware store Babelogue, ane of my favourite local haunts.
Trade Me too Etsy are besides slap-up places to source unique sculptural finds. Here are a few that I've rounded up.
— Foliage —
An slow agency of creating a sculptural tilt for domicile is amongst interesting foliage, fresh or dried flowers too indoor plants too trees. I created the organisation below amongst some overgrown leafage I had trimmed from along our driveway. So simple, the pretty grey-green leaves too wayward branches brand a large impact.
Magnolia branches are some other favourite. For beautiful dried bloom arrangements, my go-to is Mark Antonia, too a recent regain My Father's Florist.
