Styling your home with vintage, new and antique sculptures means adding a touch that can meaningfully transform the space. By introducing a sculptural work as a decorative finish to any interior, you’re making a statement, whether you tend toward the dramatic or prefer to keep things casual with modest, understated art.
A single, one-of-a-kind three-dimensional figurative sculpture mounted on your dining room wall is a guaranteed conversation piece, while a trio of abstract works arranged on your living room bookshelves can add spontaneity to the collection of first-edition novels or artist monographs you’re displaying as well as draw attention to them. Figurative sculptures are representational works that portray a specific person, animal or object. And while decorating with busts, which are sculpted or cast figurative works, hasn’t exactly topped the list of design trends every year, busts are back. According to designer Timothy Corrigan, “They give humanity in a way that a more abstract sculpture can’t give.” Abstract sculptures, on the other hand, are not meant to show something specific. Instead, they invoke a mood or scene without directly stating what they are portraying.
Busts made of stone or metal may not seem like a good fit for your existing decor. Fortunately, there are many ways for a seemingly incongruous piece to fit in with the rest of your room’s theme. You can embrace a dramatic piece by making it the focal point of the room, or you can choose to incorporate several elements made out of the same material to create harmony in your space. If an antique or more dramatic piece doesn’t feel like you, why not opt for works comprising plastic, fiberglass or other more modern materials?
When incorporating sculpture into the design of your home — be it the playful work of auction hero and multimedia visionary KAWS, contemporary fiber art from Connecticut dealer browngrotta arts or still-life sculpture on a budget — consider proper lighting, which can bring out the distinctive aspects of your piece that deserve attention. And make sure you know how the size and form of the sculpture will affect your space in whole. If you choose a sculpture with dramatic design elements, such as sharp angles or bright colors, for example, try to better integrate this new addition by echoing those elements in the rest of your room’s design.
Get started on decorating with sculpture now — find figurative sculptures, animal sculptures and more on 1stDibs today.
A Buddha statue is very personal. You should choose one that speaks to you. If you are a practitioner, you can ask your teacher for assistance as well.
The most commonly represented Buddha in Chinese Buddhist sculpture is Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Shakyamuni, the Enlightened One, or the Gautama Buddha. He is typically depicted seated upon a lotus throne with his hands in the Bhumisparsha mudra, the Gesture of Witness. This gesture symbolizes the moment that the Buddha claimed the earth as witness to his enlightenment and celebrates his unwavering meditative focus.
Buddha statues are not inherently lucky or unlucky, though images of the Fat Buddha (Budai or Hotei), have come to be associated with wealth, knowledge, and luck, with people often rubbing the belly or head.
Most ritual figures depict the Buddha in one of three postures: seated, standing, or reclining. Differences in expression, hand gesture (mudras), and accompanying objects can reveal the figure’s place of origin as well as the particular Buddhist teaching depicted. Such Buddha figures are rendered in a variety of media depending on regional art traditions and intended use, ranging from carved stone to cast bronze to lacquered bamboo.
The French sculptor shaped dense blocks into tactile forms meant to be used and held.
After synthetic dyes changed fashion, home goods and printed matter, it was only a matter of time till glass caught up.
The brilliantly simple design turns a modest bouquet into a major statement.
The Greek tragedian is said to have been handsome in his day.

It’s an excellent example of the sought-after ceramics coming out of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.
Thanks to its new leadership, the Spanish maker of figurines, busts and lighting is on a mission to update the art of porcelain for the 21st century.
