Swap a traditional mirror with a large mirror-polished sculpture

Extra-large wall art can be useful as well as beautiful. Our best-selling stainless-steel Torus makes for a stunning interior sculpture as its mirror-polished surface will expand your space making it feel much bigger. The reflective surface has a playful side, too. It will highlight features within the room and distort them into abstract shapes, creating endless opportunities to experience your home differently. Mirage pushes the boundaries of what a traditional mirror looks like, becoming more like contemporary metal wall art rather than an interior accessory. The hammered copper and verdigris patina add textural interest and backlighting extends the attraction of the piece with a halo-like glow.

Think of indoor sculptures like contemporary wall art

Large wall sculpture offers a contemporary alternative to murals or wall hangings. In a modern home, a contemporary wall-mounted sculpture will enhance your interior design aesthetic, and lighting will add ambience. These large indoor sculptures also create an opportunity for you to commission a bespoke piece which explores your own personal artistic style.

Terra, inspired by patterns in nature, is a stunning piece of metal wall art. It’s a statement piece designed to spark conversation and draw the eye. Our Turbine wall sculpture is inspired by the fins of a jet engine. Its precisely juxtaposed metal blades make for an exciting interplay of light and shadow. Aegis reimagines our Mantle sculpture into a stunning interior piece made using five exquisitely patterned layers of mirror polished stainless steel, each backed by programmable LED lights which radiate through the sculpture. The layers of coloured reflection – which can be customised to include a range of colours – create a mesmerising appearance of multiple voids and a sense of great depth.

Create an ambient living space with an indoor Water Wall sculpture

If you’re wondering how to add interest to a big wall in a living room, consider introducing an indoor Water Wall. Designed as a focal point in the indoor courtyard of a family home, this stunning Ginkgo Water Wall creates a soothing and inviting ambience. Crafted in verdigris bronze and finished with flashes of hand-painted 23¾ carat gold leaf, this metal wall sculpture is much more than wall decor, it imbues the living space with a sense of nature and calm.

Embellish your outdoor space like an indoor living room

Increasingly, our gardens have become an extension of our home and modern wall art is no longer reserved for indoor spaces. Large metal wall art such as this bespoke Mantle Lattice softens the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the elegant Quiver helps to embellish an outside wall to make the outdoor living area feel more comfortable and considered. Recently, Armillary Sphere was used by US-based Oxford Design as a focal point for the outdoor terrace at the eagerly anticipated Kips Bay Decorator Show House. The verdigris bronze sundial bridged the transition between the indoor and outdoor area and helped the design team express their interior design style in an exterior setting.

Questions

How can wall decor elevate your home aesthetics?

Wall decor, such as an art piece or large wall sculpture, gives a room personality. It’s an opportunity for you to express your unique style. The piece might work well as a focal point or provide an intriguing backdrop for existing features but either way, it will elevate your home aesthetics.

How do you display interior sculptures in a living room?

This will depend on the size and style of the sculpture. Before commissioning or choosing any piece, we recommend talking to the artist or design studio first so they can advise where in the room the piece will fit, as well as providing practical considerations on fixtures and fittings.

What materials are best for a large wall sculpture in a living room?

Stainless steel, copper and verdigris bronze are all great material options for living rooms. What material you choose will depend on your personal preference and overall design of the room.
