The Allure Of A Metal Wall Sculpture

By Janine Hughes


When the walls of a room are empty, it tends to look unfinished. A metal wall sculpture is one way of enhancing walls that has become very popular today. There are a great many different sizes, shapes and styles on offer, particularly from online stores. They provide a way of adding a focal point in a space that makes it special.

Many of the artists producing these pieces use the best quality metals that are rust proof and durable. Aluminum, steel, copper and bronze are some of the metals used to enhance walls both inside and outside. These metals all have different qualities, colors and weight. Copper, for example, develops a lovely patina when exposed to the elements.

The mounting of such sculptures is important. The hardware used for mounting needs to be strong enough as they can be quite heavy. If not mounted properly, they may be unstable. Brackets are commonly used but for lighter pieces, a hook may be sufficient. Instructions may be given with the piece.

Images from nature are popular subjects for such sculptures. Fishes and many other sea creatures add fun and a whimsical touch in houses near the ocean. Trees come in all sorts of forms, from more impressionist styles to fun, quirky ones. For a kitchen, there are many warm and inviting images such as coffee mugs or kettles.

When choosing a piece it is vital for the dimensions and style of the space is taken into consideration. A large contemporary image flowing over several large panels may take up most of a wall. A piece like this needs a large space to work properly and may look out of place in a home. It may be best suited to the foyer of an office block or a large conference room. The scale of an artwork chosen for a small home will obviously need to be smaller.

Every home reflects the tastes and personality of the owner. An impressionistic looking windswept oak tree will be appreciated by someone with modern, funky taste. Eye catching bowls filled with colorful flowers may be chosen by those with more traditional taste to add elegance to a living space. Flowers artistically created in autumn tones in a perfect trio with long stems and brown striated leaves will appeal to someone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

Just about anyone can find a piece to suit their budget, whether this is a small, simple one of coffee cups with steam curling out of them for the kitchen or a trio of flowers with long stems for a living room. It is often worth spending more on a really special piece as this can become the focal point of a room and all other decor can be planned around it.

Walls decorated in this way will draw the eye of whoever enters the room, often becoming a conversation focal point. A well-chosen piece will not only animate the room but transmit the personality of the owner to all who see it. Make a design statement, or crown a decorating theme by searching through an amazing variety of shapes, colors and styles to find the perfect art for a home.
